Extra Step From Crims

[THE_350GT]

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.

Impaling them on the front lawn as a warning too others, also keeps the local kids from playing on it.

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!

take it for a mud bath... if i was a crook id steal a clean car thats been waxed n polished over one that looks like it been driven thru a creek...

[slamm]

trunk monkeys. lots of em.

[mad082]

i also agree on the trunk monkey. then you get your car back, and the crim gets dumped in the river.

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 !

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

what about a shark with frikken laser beams?????

[satanic]

Stripped clean? Would've taken quite a few hours and a lot of tools!!!

I think just get one of your grandparents and sit them in the car until you come back - easiest.

When I park my car I remove the engine and take it with me.

Its somewhat of an inconvenience, but its worth it
