is there some like kill switch u can get ? my dad was saying something about it after i told him alot of cars are getting stolen recently wouldnt mind looking into that if anyone knows about it?

Ive had one in my car for 6 years, cost me less than $20 fitted... so yeah easy to do yourself, or even get someone else to do it.

If you were a SAU-Vic member you'd get access too a mate of mine who's been doing club discount alarms/immobilisers for years (50+ cars now he tells me from SAU) so ye... fair few people out there that are setup well, at an affordable price.

You couldnt steal my car unless it was on the back of a flatbed or a few hours re-wiring the whole car to get it to start (i have a number of immobiliser points, alarms and kill switches).

ash can you pm me the details... all of a sudden i think i might need to add some extra security...

Sorry to hear mate. Im in the northern suburbs aswell, I will keep a look out and if I see your car around, I will pass on the information to the local police. Its a shame, thats the fourth skyline ive heard of going missing around here in the last 2 months. But none of the others had alarms. What was the number plate, incase they were not clever enough to change them?

its all in the members section (member deals)

Just call the alarm guy and tell him what your after :(

unfortunately for me, factory alarm setup. i had my viper alarm which i just bought sitting in my room ready for installation today.

im regretting now i didnt push to have it put in sooner.. :(

heard about the stagea's getting stolen .... now skylines getting pushed away from the crime scene...

people are geting more skilled on how to get the fast.

detachable steering wheels sounds good right about now

And another one bites the dust without an Alarm

All to common theme of late... seems theifters target the cars without alarms... i never would have thought they would be like that!

Well if you had insurance at least it'll cover it, and with some luck the value might be more than what the value drop has been in the last 6-12 months so you might come good of a bad situation

thats a mint ride. will keep a lookout for it.

i always ask this question for my own lil survey, did you have a club lock at least? I always club lock my car eventhough it has an alarm and my mates think im strange.

I always do the same. ClubLock for the win. Although I have heard of people having their clublocks/steering wheel sawn in half in an attempt to steal the car, which is always a worry.

It never ceases to amaze me the way people can be so cruel and take what isn't righfully theirs. I hope these individuals get hit by a bus. All the best in finding the car mate, I will keep an eye out.

Club locks dont work.

I had an old car of mine broken into while i wasnt near it for about an hour and i come back - club lock on the floor broken in pieces.

Its not a deterrent at all. Only thing that saved my car from being flogged - i had a fuel isolation switch hidden (i have a love for hidden switches/buttons to prevent stealing) :(

i think the club lock can work against you. Thieves may walk past your car, see the clublock on the wheel and assume that you dont have an alarm and then try to break into it.

i have an immobiliser with alarm. all black wiring so the wires dont stick out at all in the loom, just blends in with all the other wiring.

very worrying about all the skylines being stolen, especially since im moving down there after xmas

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox !
