Grats on your purchase.

My previous car was stolen, found 2 weeks later crashed into a tree in croydon(i live in ringwood) over the following weeks i received a lot of speeding and red light fines. My old car wasn't much but it had a big stereo which was stripped, all except the front speakers lol.

Insurance paid me now im getting an R33, cant wait to pick it up.

Call me paranoid but i did my best to make sure my r34 is hard to steal.

Consider buying a proper gsm/gps tracker like i did (Install it properly, took a total of 12-14 hours to install gps tracker & immobilizer system).

My car SMSes me if the alarm is triggered. I have the option of SMSing a command back to the car to immobilize it. This is independant to my alarm/immobilizer system making it very secure.

Even if someone manages to bypass it or tow the car, which they cannot really do short of taking the car apart. The system is battery backed and reports its co-ordinates back to me. Not to mention the fact that if i receive a message from my car saying the alarm has been triggered, i'll run bloody fast to see why it was set off.

A part of me wants my car to get stolen so i can tell the police the exact co-ordinates of the car, would be priceless to see the filthy thieves face :-)

You can never be too cautious with your skylines security

I want to do something like this. Get your standard alarm system installed, the make up my own custom GPS system.

I remember someone posted a DIY post here a while back. Involving a dirt cheap mobile phone with auto answer and silent mode, wiring a car charger directly to the battery and stashing in the most obscure place within the car's body.

Then record the sim # and the M(something) id and when it gets stolen tell the police those two numbers and they'll call it and trace the call.

It's pretty fool proof. I mean, even if they disconnect the battery, the phone has it's own battery which should hopefully last long enough for the cops to find.

I personally wouldn't go down the DIY path. The unit i installed is a small self contained black box with an internal battery, sim card slot and antennae port (GPS + GSM) Works flawlessly (Has been operating in my car for the last month without a single hitch). I got it for $250, pretty impressed with the quality too. It has 2 SMS controllable outputs for immobilization.

It's a simple matter (Well not really simple depending on how extreme you want to hide the thing) of installing it in an obscure spot and discreetly tapping into an immobilization point independant of your immobilizer for maximum security.

Also has a microphone which allows you to dial in and listen to what's happening within your car. Trigger port which sends an SMS to your phone when your alarm goes off, and a host of other features.

If you want a nice slice of peace of mind, i'd recommend any worried line owner to go down this path. It ain't a silver bullet but it's as close as you are going to get short of hiring a full time security guard to look over your car.

thats pretty full proof lol

im happy with my 3 point immobiliser atm. just be carefull of where you park your car and you should be fine.

but ye if your that paranoid then what luke posted up would be pretty good.

Oh man i'm paranoid, i'm slowly becoming a little more relaxed but when i first got the car i would go back to it every 30 mins to see if it was alright, they don't come much more paranoid than me! One thing i miss about the silvia lol, endured nearly 2 years of parking at FTG train station without incident.

  • 3 months later...

he/they found it...

Just a final update guys, insurance has paid me out and car turned up last week, well wat was left of it.

found near geelong, some dirt rd near north shore.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
