sskylinee Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Hi all just a word of warning to those who have a skyline without an alarm my bro had his r32 gtst stolen yesterday. got taken in the early hours of the morning. the car was parked in his girlfriends driveway at Ottoway and was today found by the police in Greenacres minus a panasonic double din deck (if anyway trys to sell you one), front number plate and center compartment. we are just glad that the car wasnt smashed up or anything. the d*%#heads even left us a set of keys, half a tank of petrol and a few half smoked fags on the seats. other then that the car is also missing some key holes. the thing that gets to me the most is that the car is only an auto, pretty standard with an aftermarket exhaust but yet who ever stole it was game enough to do in front of the house right where the parents room was. it would of paid if the car had an alarm... be careful where u park this long weekend!

Nightcrawler Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Might sound harsh, but people who don't have an alarm in their cars should be hung, drawn and quartered. It just raises the insurance premiums for people who do the right thing and don't beg for their car to be stolen. Especially if it is parked in a driveway in Ottoway overnight.

sskylinee Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 "Might sound harsh, but people who don't have an alarm in their cars should be hung" lol yeah maybe just a little harsh so go out and buy an alarm today buys and girls! how they started the car without a key? how many other ways are there? lets just say an alarm and immobiliser would stop this from happening?

ISC-Performance Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 haha alarms dont do anything .....ive seen alarms go off and people just keep walking past, dont wanna get involved etc...the best thing to do is change your locks to keyless entry etc or just leave a rottwiler in the front seat or something......very good to hear you got your car back tho as not many people do Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/113387-stolen-r32/#findComment-2093459 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lang Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Might sound harsh, but people who don't have an alarm in their cars should be hung, drawn and quartered. It just raises the insurance premiums for people who do the right thing and don't beg for their car to be stolen. Especially if it is parked in a driveway in Ottoway overnight. have u seen how immobilisers work? unless your installer hid the relay really well, which they wouldnt have because its hard and takes alot more time (i installed my own with a mate). providing the theif can locate the relays it would only take about 15 seconds to un-immoblise one.

Nightcrawler Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 yeah but lang, you are missing the most important functions of an alarm: 1. as a deterrent (a flashing red light at night makes a car very unattractive) 2. that 15 seconds is often the difference between a stolen car or not. The car in question was in the driveway of a home, so the second the car made a noise the thief would have been out of there. Proof of this is my brother-in-law David's R33 was broken into last week at his home, but as soon as the alarm went off the thief fled. Also, I have 4 points of immobolisation and a kill switch - plus 4 piezo sirens mounted inside the cabin - the noise of the piezo's is absolutely ear piercing - I would enjoy seeing a thief try to get through the 3 immobiliser points with that noise in his ear Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/113387-stolen-r32/#findComment-2095419 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOOKIE Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 My brothers girlfriend's neighbour had his newly bought R32 GTR stolen. They found it the next day with a completely blown engine. Also, a mate got his R32 GTST stolen about a week ago too. First thing you guys all need to do is get good working alarms and imobilisers and leave your cars in well lit, safe areas.
