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

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
