I know a lot of you guys would have alarms on your cars, but what extra steps do you take to try and prevent people from driving away with your car???? Like pulling something off the engine or installing a kill switch somewhere on the car. I have an alarm, imobaliser, club lock but still feel like i need something more....

I was away for 3 weeks recently and left my car parked unattended. I'm guessing you have a s2 r33 so dunno how this would work, i have a s1, with external ignitor so i took that off and put cling wrap over the plugs (to stop moisture getting in) - only 4 screws hold it in place. They cant drive the car off unless they have a replacement one handy hehe.... can still push/tow it tho if they are really enthusiastic.

The measures you have are all deterents and preventative measures...if they really want your car, they will get to it by hook or by crook if they can't start it they'll take it away on a flatbed.. One of the things I am very particular about is where I park. Choose your spots well and you should be fine. I'd drive around a carpark for half an hour if I have to jst to find the spot I want (close to shopping center entrances, where there are heaps of passers by etc...). And never park out on the road overnight if you can help it. Oh and hidden kill switch helps if you want to go that extra mile. :)

As all of the above are great ideas, most dont have good toilet training...

Trick is to make your car the least or less unattrative to steal.

So HIDE EVERYTHING. Cds, amps, anything and everything. Even loose change. Do not have anything visible, turbo timers etc as well. Steering wheel cover for a sports wheel. That will stop the smash and grab, or the 'this is easy to nick' people.

Park it where its hard to get. Multi level carpark for instance, no flat bed is getting in there is it. Park next to walls, means only one side of the car can get damaged by another car.

A good alarm also helps. Better yet, get your own wheel clamps. And put a parking ticket on the window. Whos going to steal that!

Alarm & Immobiliser

Kill Switch or 2

Park in visible spot

Park in between two concrete pilons or by a wall

Turn the wheels full lock if gone for a long time*

Steering Lock when exiting car; make it lock up

Club lock

Removable Steering Wheel

Chain in Wheel/s

* If they were to hit your car with a flat bed; the full lock would slow them down a bit (hopefully long enough for someone to realize what's going on)

direct wire to battery, and pull the extra 30v fuse...... no power to fuel pump = car wont start !

:wave:

edit: a local ezipark car park here in adelaidew had a car totally stripped clean late last year... was parked in an area the camera couldnt see.......................... they reckon it would have taken hrs to strip it. Doors, seats, wheels, electronics, etc etc etc

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
