Hey Guys,

Thinking of implementing something like an anti-theft system that arms all metal exterior surfaces on the car with a decent current, enough to provide a good shock to anyone attempting to steal the car.

Anyone have any ideas on how to implement it? I'm thinking i'll need to switch out all electronic gear so it doesn't get fried when the car is armed.

lol... Sounds to me like you will need 40,000gigawatts of electricity to run this alarm (the kind of power you get from a lightning strike), then all you have to do is get the car to 80m/hr but not sure what your going to do about the flux capacitor, I checked on ebay and can't find any, they must of sold out.

lmao :)

I can say yes I have done it on a few cars, not fence controllers, but E-stem machines, and point contact tasers taken apart for us on a ferrari testarrosa door handles( USA)

but your asking for trouble using them here in OZ, the crooks have too many rights to sue you ????

and No I wont provide details for use here so dont PM me.

best option is to deter them before they touch the car, visual deterents, microwave sensors, multi layer security or just common sense not to park in shonky area in the first place. remove all items from view helps a lot.

even a 6 buck steering wheel club will delay a crim for a few seconds more then he likes ..if used in conjuction with a alarm

best thing to do after you buy all the components to do this is get yourself a really good lawyer.

the first person to be injured, even a thief could sue you for damages.

the cops would most likely do you for intention to mame or building a mantrap, either one would be jail time...

If you put a pretty clear warning sign on your car saying it's electrified would it still be illegal? It's no longer a mantrap this way, it's kind of like having an electric fence is it not? Besides it's your private property, it shouldn't really be touched anyway..

The 2yo kid story is kind of scary tho, but a 2yo kid could also touch an electric fence..

EDIT: As for the low power tingler, it looks like that could be the sort of device they use in those games that give you a little zap is it enough? I've never touched an electric fence before (always pussied out..... like a boss) but how does it compare?

And 30three is more than likely right, a little zap would really piss off a thug if they had an intention.

I asked a mate before replying to this, he is a cop, pretty high up on his definition of a man trap. He looked into it and told me that under the definition of the law it is any device purposely made to harm, mame or kill a person. Your device would fall into this catagory.

As for a warning notice, even if you had one you'd get your ass handed to you in court.

there have been plenty of cases already through the courts where there have been clear warning signs and people have been hurt.

those people that have been hurt have sued and won big time. Even in the case of people either doing stupid or illegal things.

an electric fence around a property is a little different than what you are proposing as the fence is not on public land, such as a car park, but on private land.

however having said that, its my understanding that even someone injured on private land, even while trying to commit a crime can sue.

you have to look at it this way dude, there are so many things that could go woring, why open yourself up to potential dmages.

we already had the example of a child...

what about someone with a pacemaker, a small amount of current can cause them to fail.

or if your electrical device malfunctioned after a collision

or if your electrical device caused a collision

or if you were to park against something and somehow it caused a fire.

etc, etc...

there are plenty of decent ways to protect your car, but if your really that paranoid about it i would suggest

sell your car and buy a car you dont car about..

if i was to flog a car, and it gave me a zap such as one from a electric fence (doesnt hurt, not even as bad as rubbin ur feet on the carpet n giving a shock like that) anyway, not only would i laugh about it and drain as much of the power i could by continuing to touch it, i would probably kick the crap out of the car, pore brake fluid over it, etc etc

Think like a crime, u screw with them when they screwing you, better hope your better at it then they are.

Also i wouldnt mind betting that insurance wouldnt touch you with a 10foot pole if u have it installed and have a accident whilst driving.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.

      The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
