more jackings .. Good to see that were a following the U.S trend now we have to worry about which street we drive in and weather or not we have quick track or not along with all the other day to day issues, great...! I guess in the end the one with least to loose wins. had a mate that it happened to he disabled the door from the outside (passenger) not that its much of solution but at least it will make it that much harder on an attempt.

A question i have though, if a person is involved in a carjacking where life is at risk, and you do have full insurance...would handing the keys over to avoid harm result in voiding your insurance?

i mean, technically, your handing your keys away, im sure some insurance companies will see it this way, and would be nearly as bad as the car jackers themselves.

you could also set one kind of timer in your car, something that runs seperate to everything else. something as simple as a timer that unless you hit a button once you start the car will only run for two minuttes before shutting off automatically. wouldnt be too hard to set up.

sh*t this is ridiculous. I plan on bringing my car up from adelaide to get away from all the mass-defecting-obsessed police over there, only to face theives over here! Jees, My cars just been completely "cosmetically improved" and stands out like a donkeys sack attached to a small dog.

Is it just GTRs that are the main skyline target? or GTSt's too?

"shows how badly these WRX drivers want a skyline "

"the big question is, how on earth did a WRX catch a GTR in the first place "

Thats gold, Jerry! GOLD!!!!!!!:D :D

do you think the police would fine or charge you if they found you carrying a small batton just inside the door, say if you use the excuse about "there have been alot of car jackings lately and you guys aren't always around when needed...."

how do you think that would go down?

Mr R32 M-Spec - I think it'd be confiscated and you'd be fined. Plus with that excuse you'd get done for intent to do battery, not self defence.

I think the best alternative for a battery device which is legal is a small fire extinguisher (chemical type) - you spray the bastards with the chemical and while they're temporarily "blinded" you beat the crap out of them with the canister end. Best of all it's legal because they're legal to carry (Just make sure they're in an easy spot to access.)

Just get a Maglite.

Carby cleaner works better than mace - so I have heard. .....

But I would never encourage violence or vigalantism towards armed Car Jackers. Best to to hand over the keys and let the police & tracker companies handle the rest. That way you just lose your car and not your life.

I think you have to make a judgement call based on how your car is being jacked/stolen. If it's a lone guy with some sort of hand tool threatening you through the window, then I'd say your car would be worth fighting for. But if he has a gun or if there is a bunch of them, might be better all round just to give it up. Try some stealthy tricks like already mentioned, like taking the keys out and hitting the panic alarm once you've legged it away a bit.

Of course, if you discover someone breaking into your car, a king hit and a trip to hospital (for them) is in order :P

Oh, I was thinking of it you came across them in a car park or the like. I think if I busted someone breaking into my garage, I would get them arrested and then move houses asap afterwards. One of the advantages of renting I guess.

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
