Brendan..... a nice CCTV setup does wonders...

if you also have a lockup garage... get a security pole put in the ground with a lock....put the pole in behind the car when u get home.....

Your car wont be going anywhere...

I believe an SAFC can be rigged to do the same...you just need the know how to make an easy adapter.........but then of course they would only need another SAFC.

1. Chain the diff to your garage floor.

2. Like the pole idea...just make sure the sercuity pole has a bolt cut defended.....usually have a cover over the lock and lock flange so they can't get the bolt cutter in to cut the lock.

3. multiple locks on garage door (my perference is to not let them near the car...becuase their going to trash it worse if they can get access but can't actually take it.)

4. Cage the car in....a seprate welded and wire cage for the car in teh garage (I know of this been done.)

5. Another suggestion....is have the car stored if its a weekend driver. Plenty of places ofter 24hour access and 24 hour security. I know when i'm going to get the Evo or GTR its going to be possibltly stored at one of these....especailly with carjacks at the garage these day...you drive you car in and out of security and out home in your daily driver.

plus its probably stored under their insurance if they get broken into :D

6. turn the wheels on full lock and run chains to keep it on full lock...that way it can't move forward and out of a garage.

Cool, I think my cas has an SAFC already in it. Have to wait tho to see. (realistically how many carjacking theiving mofos would have a spare SAFC and time to wire in, with them) And if you had a custom quick release plug/interface (no cloured wires) - It would make it more difficult.

What about one of those wheel cage thingys - like the ones they use when you are parked in a no parking area - to imobalise your car ??

I think also with the PowerFC's you can set a rev limit with the hand controller. therefore when you leave your car drop the rev limit to 500 or something and take the handcontroller. sweet as.

And with the Link you can set the fuel to zero. again won't start.

By By,,,,,He's cool,,,he just loves his Mum and his Skyline,,,,,Gotta Laugh,,,,the Rottie next door is scared shutless of him......

The Pole Idea sounds like a good idea,,,,I'll get one when we up-date.

Neil.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
