i dont understand why people dont rig up a switch mounted under dash or anywhere hidden that cuts power supply to ignition/fuel pump/anything that makes the car start. such an easy cheap way to at least stop people driving off in your ride!

park it near the pedestrian entrance to the shopping centre, where more ppl walk by

that's quite common sense, I used to park in Macquarie Shopping Centre and do that

why? because I'm paranoid about my car been stolen which is a good thing.

What happened with the just jap car & the other autosport gtr that was pinched earlier, you cant tell me their were no leads regarding possible theives etc when both cars were recovered!

Cmon what about everyone else's cars in the shire?

Yes, they closed that thread pretty damn quickly. Didn't really say much after they got the car back.

All this BS means we need to take more precautions than the next driver. Imports are too much of a theft target.

If anyone is missing insurance/immobiliser/alarm- get them! Or you could lose your hard-earned car.

I checked NS forum, the dude didn't have alarm OR insurance.

There's a lesson.

Either the thieves have some sort of magical insurance radar to find the cars that arent insured, or a large majority of people dont have their cars insured at all!! I havent heard of ONE car stolen that has had insurance in a couple of years at least!!! :stupid:

that sucks, never hear many stories about commodores or falcons or excels getting stolen as much as imports..

I don't think everyone can afford insurance, I got quoted over 3k to insure my car, like wtf? its only a car thats worth around 14k?

Its cheaper to insure a lexus omg

That's not true but there does seem to be a large number of unprotected cars out there. Of course those other thieves - the insurance companies - don't help with their premiums and their policies. The other problem is people's priorities. They spend money on turbos or intercoolers or whatever instead of alarms and insurance. They spend it on new wheels instead of on track days. I could go on.

plenty of cars with insurance are stolen. it's just that the owners don't usually want to air out their business on forums, and just let the police and the insurance company do their work knowing that they will either be getting their car back, or a cheque. my car was stolen about a year ago, but of course it was insured so I didn't really have a need to post any "FARK!!! HELP MY CAR IS STOLEN" threads.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
