Hi all. live in an apartment, therefore its parked in the open at nights. There was a holden stolen from the carpark yesterday in broad daylight..... so its made me extra cautious about my baby!

i have a mongoose alarm in my car, and a steering bar thingy. plus i unplug the coil loom every night.. i want to disable more circuitory.. eg starter, fuel pump..

if i unplugged the CAS, would the motor start at all??

i want to disable the fuel pump and starter too.. how can i do that??? sorry im just really paranoid since my cars the "most eye catching" in our apartment....

any help woudl be much appreciated. :P thanks

look into getting a kill switch installed...

got one done for the fuel pump, simple on/off switch hidden away where the diagnositic plug is kept, just under the steering wheel to the right...

pretty sure most auto electricians can do it...

another way to piss any thieves off :P

there are already two topics on this in this section of the forum...

perhaps those may help... or if ur a bit clever and patient, design and build ur own...

Just add a little twist to the " Kill Switch" idea. Use a reed switch.Mount it anywhere behind plastic ( dash, etc.,), where it can't be reached by hand. You know where it is, and you switch it with a magnet from the outside. You can, with 2 or 3 relays make it so the magnet only needs to 'close the switch to start with. then it is OK until engine switched off. So the car is auto disabled as soon as it is switched off. You can kill ignition, fuel, whatever you want ( or boyh together]. Depending how neat you do the wiring, so it's not physically obvious, it'll take an Auto/lec all day to find it.

Get reed switches from security installers - used on building alarm systems. Or electrical wholesalers.

or perhaps get some from work :P

that is actually a really good idea... now im thinking... u could also use a coded magnet... unless u have the specific magnet and sensor, uve got no chance in starting the car... we use them all the time at work in our machines...

Yes, that's good. Glad I did'nt know about it. That way I did the circuit myself ( without the kill switch) I like mine better.

I'll dig out my circuit and try to post it. Love the 'coded magnet' idea of the previous post, BUT don't lose it!!

No, can't do it. Am better at wiring diags than computers. Scanned it into computer, but can't get it from there to here. Sorry.

once its scanned, save it as a jpg file or something... when u post again, look down and right and ull c a "Browse..." button. click on that and find the file u saved. click ok. click the green "UPLOAD" button and wait... thats it...

yeh "kill switch" is kind of a wrong name... should be something more like "start switch" or something...

Thanks, I tried. Tried all sorts of places to scan it into, but got " X Upload failed. You are not permitted to upload this type of file." Had a good look at it ( even upside down) STILL did'nt look pornographic even from that angle. Guess everyone will just have to use their imagination. Pity.

"type of file" refers to the "filename.***" the *** part is the file type. jpg, doc, txt, mpg are file types... probably the most common image file is jpg. when u scan the file, save the file as "image.jpg" if u can...

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
