I think it's a top idea. It would be a great deterrent,,,but not theft proof. Illegal,,,you guy's make me laugh,,,how many of you guys have "Legal" cars? I'll bet none.

Not many scum bags are going to have the replacement wheel to suit the boss and getting that boss off without a puller would be very time consuming and a down right pain in the arse.

As for the airbags,,,please airbag don't save lives,,,.seat belts do. Airbags were only ever invented because lazy bloody yanks won't put seatbelts on.

Half the time they don't go off and the other half they go off after hitting a pot hole.

Where would you put the steering wheel after you take it off? you would have carry it around with you...lol

with the amount of crap or 'accesories' kids carry on them these days,i wouldn't be suprised if it became some new fad.

I think you should just get alarm, immobiliser and insurance, a kill switch if you are paranoid. In the end if someone really wants to steal your car, they can always put it on the back of a flat bed. No removable steering wheel is going to prevent that :P

LOL!!! good morning.

Insurance is the only way these days. I've been told stories of vehicles keep at secure parking facilities (defence establishment) and still getting stolen, due to the lowlifes being in contact with certain security members in the past.

Guys found out and caught one of the lowlifes one night and made sure they never came back again!

Removing an essential part of what makes the car start/run seems to be a better option. Of course its not as easy to remove the distributer arm on a skyline since it doesn't have one, but i'm sure there's something else that'd work.

unplugging the ignitor will stop it dead and is hard to spot. but seriously....immobiliser....pref with GSM tracking/paging. all my cars get that since the famous "missin nissan"

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
