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.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
