does anyone know what these buggers are actually doing to steal them?

do they unlock the doors eg - with thick steel wire to hit the passenger door unlock button on the drivers door main switch panel? -thats one of those things you'd be stupid not to disconnect. but then again if they try long and hard enough, they could probably even unlock the drivers door lock itself.

and what do they do to start them up? it is just like hotwiring any car?

one would think immobilizers actually do something...!

this is fking madness! i would love to catch one of these c*nts!

yeah dude...my silvia got stolen once from my garage..f*k dude...if i had a gun id shoot this mfkrs..im serious..the way they took my car was by f*kn up the key barrell..they took out the plastic bit at the end and then vala..thats all..u just need a screw driver to start, and the other thing my alarm wasnt on...so it was more easier...but the car was found in 3 weeks...stereo stolen ignition damaged.

is there such product that locks the key/ignition barrell? a plate or something you put over the key slot?

for commodores years ago there was such a thing as a full metal jacket but as i say this was for butterfly ignition commodores

Basically, I was amazed how easy it was with absolutely NO sign of damage what's soever..... scary really :S

Note: don't want to detail how it was done, people don't always need to know every detail.

fact is if they want your car that badly. it's theirs. i liked the idea of removeable steering wheels. cool and very effective hah. but another alternative is to get a direct kill switch to your fuel pump. just hide the switch under your seat or something. good luck trying to start the car without fuel!!!! they can twiddle with wires in the dash for as long as they want ;)

thats exactly what ive done. cept not under the seat! :D

Not jumping to conclusions but last night I parked behind a white S2 33 type M with stock wheels and CC plates. They came from out of the house it was parked in front, looked at me suspiciously (I was in my 33 and expected some 33 mutual respect) and drove off. The only other thing I can remember about it was it's exhaust. Do you know what kind of exhaust is on it, Ryan?

Yeah sounds about right. They guy drove off nicely, like it's not as if he was driving it like he stole it but if you like I can find out the street address etc of where it was and PM it to you and you can go from there. I saw it in Belair (near Blackwood)

I just messaged my mate who lives on the street. He should know what number the house is. He also saw it with me and made the comment that that guy (who is the boy friend of some girl at the address) has had a few different import cars.

    • 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.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • 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.
