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).

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?

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

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
