if you could afford to buy the car then spend 20 g on the engine but not a few hundred for a alarm or the few grand for insurence then too bad so sad its gone get over it

insurance is the best modification of all.

Well if the pager only works for 20 paces i wouldn't see the point of having it. I've got a moderate one and it has a 3km radius.

Are you able to run 3k's in less time than it takes to steal a car?

^ This is the point i was attempting to make.

A pager is only any good if you're pretty much standing right next to the car, otherwise it will already be gone by the time you get to it.

i had my gts-t stolen from out the front of my girlfriends house, posh kinda area, got stolen on the sundaynight/monday morning, was booked in for that saturday to get an alarm fitted, got woken up at 4am by the cops on my mobile telling me they was just ina 200kmper hr chase dwn the wroung way of the m4 motorway, the thiefs then did a hand brake turn and played chiken with the police at 150kmperhr, i did get the car back damaged of course but atleast i got it back, i wish the same good fortune for urself.

Hey mate,

Sorry about the car! I'll keep a lookout!

In terms of the security issue, this is what works for me:

Alarm/Immobiliser with pager.

Quick Release removable steering wheel, so the ONLY way my car can get stolen is on the back of a truck, assuming the thieves don't have their own steering wheel as well.

A friend of mine also disconnects the AFM and CAS (i think) but I usually cbs going that far!

very sorry to hear the gtr's gone :D

i've just ordered a quick release kit for the steering wheel (so i can take it with me), and i already have some kind of alarm.....i'm gonna need this stuff too, as i start a new job on monday and parking is dodgy :)

you dont have to get fully comp, atm i can not afford fully comp and thought what is the point ill only get 5k back and if I don’t do that much damage i can rip the car apart and sell it in pieces for more. Anyway i just got 3rd party fire and theft better then nothing plus a 3 point immobiliser. Will be getting the alarm function installed soon.

anyway rant over, good luck in finding your car ill keep a look out up in QLD for parts ect.

hhmmm - maybe another 'form' of security is to do a performance modification, ie direct-wire your new bosch larger-flowing fuel pump to the battery, and have 30amp fuses installed with it......... I can alarm and lock my car (knowing its safe with insurance) and also pull the fuel pump fuses so a thief has little chance of starting it and working out why its not priming.

good old lock bar.. cant drive a car when u cant turn the steering wheel.

if you're talking about a steering lock.. you've got no idea..

steering locks are a detterent.. nothing more

They just hacksaw through your wheel and remove it

Sux to hear about your GTR! Will keep an eye out as well.

As for security measures, image there is 2 identicle GTR's, one has steering wheel lock, immobiliser / alarm, GPS and smash proof tinting, while the other has nothing... Which one do YOU think would disappear first?

how long do u think it takes someone to break in and get the car moving? a good 10-15min....this is obviously the average joe........i mean the pros can do it in maybe 5-10? keeping in mind u have all the stanard stuff...like steering locks ect.......

nehoo my point is there is that where ever i park my car i can pretty much garentee ill be within 10mins from it....so i rkn there is a good point to having an alarm system.

also ive noticed alot of 32s being stolen...i havnt herd of a 34 gtr or 33 gtr being stolen.....why is this?

maybe the fact that anyone drivign a car thats 30k+ would be a moron to not have insurence.

seriously guys u need insurence these days...just take a look at the amount of idiots on the roads.....

and u need a alarm....cuz u never know some couple might step out side to have some alone time :D and they see ur car lightin up like its new years....the theif aint gonna stick around.......then again it helps if u know the community.....

You haven't seen Gone in 60 Seconds?

Also, pager alarms go out of range after 10 metres and a wall.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
