did you have an alarm?

wow i'm sorry but this has got to be the single most stupid reply ever

can folks stop asking if a car has an alarm or not?

in this instance, 'on the way' to springbrook is mountain bushland and no houses for about 20 (40?) kms or more

in any other instance, alarms are JUST AS POINTLESS and likely to annoy your dyno guy as he tries to move your car :happy:

yeah i dont know where the f**k he gets off asking questions like that. you're such a bastard phatboi

didn't einsteins car get broken into on the street right outside his house?

an alarm would have made that a lot harder for the thieves in that case

no, wouldn't have done shit

would someone have come to stop them? would they have run away? would anyone care?

i have better deterrant devices avaliable to me now =)

Mel an Alarm does deter a thief, with the new alarms they have pagers and also GSM cards to call you if your car gets broken into...

Why is it point less? People do stop and have a look when an alarm goes off just cos you don’t have the decency to stop and look doesn't mean some one else wont.....

it is a valid question cos if you don’t have an alarm the is insurance approved they don’t have to cover you for this, even if you pay for fire and theft cover. if you don’t believe me go check out your policy again..

it is a valid Question and a solid investment so shut ya hole..

i doubt anyone on this forum would look to see what car has its alarm going off

it's such a common occurence due to fault, vibration, or stupid owners these days that it's like the boy crying wolf

theres one here....so long as i dont have to go a massive amount out of my way, i'll always look. Gives me some hope for good karma that my car will get checked on if it's in trouble.

this is not about the effectiveness of an alarm. the poor guy got his pride n joy f**ked over. concentrate on the topic please

Well if the -poor guy would give details of what they took we may at least be able to keep an eye out for cheap said items.

thank you for your cooperation

Not sure what you are inferring by that Dan. My intentions were honourable. The only way anything will come of this is if the perpetrators are caught selling the stolen parts.

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
