not sure who does it, but there is the tracking system. Basically ur alarm goes off, you get a phone call, if it isnt you they send ur cars location to the popos, then when a unit is behind them they cut the ignition. Probably one of the better systems around, expensive tho.

Cheers,

18 yrs ago I wired a electric fence controller to my car and that worked well. it also got me in a LOT of trouble with the cops. food for thought.

That is f**king awesome. Please tell us more.

quiktrak. I use them for all my council related jobs.

as for the fence controller idea - you work it out. I'm NOT disclosing how i did it.

G,day, Im looking for other ways to make my 33 more theft proof, yes i have a alarm but im after opinions on steering wheel locks like the crook lock or wheel locks like the ones the council uses.

As ive spent way to much money on a car that i use as a daily driver i get a bit worried when i leave it alone at big shopping centers or in the city.

If there is anyone out there who knows the best way to defeat the c*#$ks#ckers i would be most appreciated.

Ive already had 2 cars and 1 motor bike stolen and the other day i caught a $ucker testing my door as i was walking up to my car, he then got very upset when i said that he should not do it again, although i didnt really say it as such as i was punchng him in the back of his greasy drug soaked brain.

Thanks for your help, MLR

PS KILL THIEVES

heres what ive done:

*installed a 5star dynotron alarm (apparently one of the best in NZ)

*removed the lock rods inside the doors so locks cant be tampered with

from the inside i.e using a coat hanger to unlock door.

*fibreglassed locks on the outside with resin. (no need to use it as i have a remote)

*i also have a steering wheel lock (rein forced steel)

and finally...

*its called a onelus lock. it attatches to your gear stick as in the pic.

as ive had a skyline stolen from me in the past i figured id make it more

theft proof.

try stealing this skyline M%!@# F^%$&^s!! :(

How does that Onelus lock work exactly?

well heres what it does..basically it attaches to your gear stick and stops any shifting therefore

the thief will be un able to take it also works for autos. also the gearstck is locked in neutral to accomadate turbo timers. the guy i bought it from told me it is almost impossible to cut with hand held

tools because it is actually bolted to your car with multi layered pressed steel plate

everyday at the front of my house there are many cars including

dads lexus

mum bmw

bros truck

sis integra type r

and until recently my 32 gtr and s14

under my bed i have what i like to call my emo stick (Medium sized crow bar) lol

and in my backyard is my 58kg rottie who can see all the cars from the gate, and people who walk past can def see him

no one has ever touched any cars at the front of my house lol

btw we live in easter suburbs

and i never personally leave my cars where i cant see them, thats what parents cars are for lol

Edited by GUN_METAL_GTR32
Does the unit actually stay in that position when it is unlocked? Was it difficult to install?

yea mate permanently bolted in that position. once you install it, it aint coming off. and nah installation is pretty straight forward.you will have to get the plate specially bent tho to fit it

and replying to GUN_METAL_GTR32 some off us dont have a 58kg rottie let alone carry it around with you to guard your car lol :)

great , that shows me how to disable the thing..

Lol!

I think the best way to do it, is just let Chris do what he does best!

Too bad ur not in perth :)

otherwise 100% i would send my car to u

Ive already got an alarm installed in my skyline..

However i dont have this "screamer" in the cab. How much roughly are we looking at to get one of these installed?

Any brands in particular? and would they adapt to my alarm i have in my car already? As the alarm that has been installed was done under a year ago... so i dont particulary want to turf it out just yet...

I have a average or slightly above average clifford/viper alarm fitted on my car which does the job, but then i also have a seperate screamer alarm which is installed and set to trigger once the viper alarm is disabled and also if the car is moved (movement sensor of some sort).. ie.. being towed on a flatbed. The screamer i got was an old stock alpine siren rated at 182db .. so if u want a good deterent that ppl can hear a block away... thats one economical way to go that works well.

Hi Chris,

Are you talking about the Forced Ignition system there ?

If so, I'd be interested to know more details if you think you have discovered some way to disable it.

The system has been used in the US since 2004, and no vehicle has ever been lost to a thief with a Forced Ignition system fitted.

The system was fully assessed by the US Office of Law Enforcement Technology Commercialization Advisory Council in 2004. You can read part of their assessment here ...

http://www.tunersgroup.com/Forced_Ignition...mmendation.html

It is widely used by financial institutions and law enforcement agencies in the US.

We're a licensed security company, so if you think you know of some way to defeat the Forced Ignition system, please send me a PM about how you think you could disable it.

We get regular emails from people who think they know some way to disable the system - none of the methods they have proposed have defeated the system.

Security is all about peer assessment by experts though, so if you honestly think you have discovered some way to disable the Forced Ignition system, let's discuss it professionally in private, as fellow security professionals. If your proposed method works, then we'd let Forced Ignition in the US know about it. They take the security of the system very seriously.

And of course if your proposed method doesn't work, then I'll expect a correction to your "that shows me how to disable the thing" comment :P

unless you take the wheels of the car and chain it to the ground - I'll take the car - simple as that.

the system you have there relies on a variable - the installer. now 99% of people /installers couldn't give a rats arse how the thing is fitted if it works - who cares. that makes my job easier. find the unit - rip it out rejoin what is cut and I'm off again.

you showed me what the unit looks like so I can now find it and rip it out.

the system you haev relies on a transponder setup that when the main system loses contact it trips a timer and stops the car. not really that different from some of the other systems (IE autowatch 573) that works on a similar principle.

there was another similar system on the net that had the installation instructions on the site. that made the system useless by my standards.

think like a thief and you will soon realise nothing is unstealable.

    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
    • The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.
    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
