Hey,

Just seeing if anyone from SAU is interested in getting their car crime guarded?

Basically its getting your car's VIN number etched onto all the windows of your car. It takes all of less than 5minutes to complete. Its only a small silver etching onto the corner of each window on your car.

There is a cost involved in getting this done, its usually $50 if you get it done. But as they do club fund-raising for this the cost will be $40 and then each car that gets it done, they (crime guard) will donate $10 towards the club.

If we get enough interest i can ring the guy who does it and can organise a saturday or possibly sunday to all cruise down together and everyone can get it done all at once.

As a bonus of getting it done, they issue you with a certificate and you go onto their database, and then if your car gets stolen and NOT recovered, crime guard will issue the owner with $1000.

Click the pics below for a detailed explaination from their brochure which i got off them.

Id probably be interested but dont get back to Australia until November.....sigh :D

PS: wooooo.....100th post to me :P

Im sure we can work something out with them for when you get back. theyre pretty laid back guys there.

I work with the Wife of the guy that owns the rights to do this in SA.

She wanted me to become part of the francise and do this in my spare time on weekends.

Great idea but not so great if you want to show your car at car shows.

nar its pretty small, if you look at the etching that is on your windows now (eg NISSAN and type of glass it is) its pretty much the same size as that, not that noticeable

can we pls get some pics? i like the sentiment but if the numbers are huge and stand out, then im not interested... the promo material doesnt really do i justice by your description

-D

think about it

someone steals your car, strips it

whats identifiable if they nick 10 other similar cars?

vin / unique numbers etched on glass means they cant get rid of certain things as easily

ideally need to find someone who'll do DataDot for this sorta price (which wont happen)

ok to answer a few questions, im sure the theifs dont look at the windows when they are about to steal a car, but as Matty 31 said they cant rid of parts as easily with it on there.

next, the size is very small would not get in the way if it was a show car, but defiantly a good idea if your car is a daily and you leave it at shops and that, but would prob not bother if its a show car and only a show car. so when you go out to your car next have a look on the glass that you got now and look for the NISSAN writing and under neath that i think it says Tempalite or Templex or something similar, its the same size as those etchings..

And hey its only 40 bucks and then 10 bucks for every car that gets it done goes towards SAU as a donation.

any more questions feel free

    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
    • Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
