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

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
