Hi guys,

I thought i would check in with the pros just what people have done regarding security for their skylines. Im not neccessarily interested in alarm system but more other measures.

For example, how many people have put in a cut switch to the fuel pump??

What else do people do to stop would be theives?

Any one got pictures??

Im asking because im soon to purchase a 34 and would like to take some extra steps to keep my prize that little while longer.

Thanks everyone

I don't leave it ANYWHERE. Seriously. I get edgy having it parked out the front of my house for more than 10 minutes.

im exactly the same. Always worrying about my car.

I have a mate with a nice alarm setup that has a few speakers inside the car set at deafining db levels so that any would be thief will well and truely be deaf before he gets the car started.

same here,buy a 2nd car. i got a cheap excel & work ute i take to shops and stuff.

At home its parked,coverd,immobilised,parts unplugged and or taken off and behind

the box trailer which is infront of the excel which is infront of mums camry which is blocked in

by my work ute,and the Line has a big tree 1 side and my house the other side and neighbours

fence behind.

GoodLuck!

Although I have an immobiliser/alarm I also use a steering wheel lock as a visual deterrent and leave nothing visible lying around inside.

yeah i club lock and alarm too and leave nothing to tempt people. hide my ebc and stuff. friends used to ask why i club lock even though i have an alarm, i always say its better to be safe than sorry. heck i even club lock my car if i park it in my driveway at night.

i pull the fuel pump fuse if i park in a dodgy car park with no attendant for the whole day.

so yeah

club lock

alarm

imobiliser

kill switch

cattle prod

Yup i have a 32 coupe and the gauge and shift light got stolen out of it in broad daylight, outside my house! Luckily it was only a rolling body at the time which makes me kinda stupid for having them in there anyway! lol

The build is nearing completion and ive been thinking about security too. Im considering the following.

-Alarm

-Fuel pump switch

-Steering lock

Was wondering if you could swithc the afm? Or having the ignition barrel as a dummy and using a hidden start button :P

Thanks everyone for the replies.

Some helpful comments there. So far i like the idea of the fuel cut switch, however i guess a determined thief could still hotwire any fuse that has been pulled, or ever a switch.

I was thinking of a dash / console mounted red toggle (removable) kill switch which would cut power to the fuel pump and anything else i thought necessary.

Interesting to see how paranoid some people are, something i should look forward to? :P

Im not the sort of person that would leave things in the car, nor likely to modify the interior with gadgets.

I also will have a club lock.

Thanks once again.

whats really sad is if they really wanted to steal your car they would....flat bed truck and all. Its those shit kickers that you try to deter.

a really good imobiliser and installation will generally do the trick. some guy went to the trouble of welding a box over the unit to the chassis..ha. the longer it will take the more risk it will be to the theif so he will move onto the next poor fella. unfortunately i find people just ignore alarms going off in general unless its damn annoying like if it was hooked to your horn then they would give a shit..ha something to think about.

    • Ok, just the way you wrote it made it look like you had the stagger the wrong way around 
    • I was getting anxious with the DVLA not knowing if the paperwork is fine or not, so I rang them. No update had been given, but I  was reassured that providing the box was ticked on the V750 then the application will go through fine. I've been checking the DVLA website pretty much every day, in the hope that it would have been done. Fast forward to Monday 29th  and I was greeted with a new screen on the check, and it finally showed as Taxed and MOT'd, woohoo! The car was in desperate need of a clean, not knowing when this day was coming it was put off. As far as I was concerned I had another 3 weeks  I'm not normally one for using snow foam, but I wanted to give it another try It hasn't cleaned up too bad considering it's 21 years old and lived on a boat for a number of weeks. The personalised number plate is J2 XBK, an illegally spaced number plate would have it read J2X BK. BK could either represent  the colour black or Baker, which is my surname. I filmed the first drive, the Youtube link will be at the end. I used the same driving route I did with the 323F V6 when I had a new exhaust installed, heres a couple of photos A few more since then Youtube video can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjkFHPzjGDw
    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
