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.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Jarsky · Posted

      This. A 3d wheel alignment is like $120...just take it to the shop. Since theres probably multiple adjustments that need to be made after changing something. Mine has front/rear lower arms, traction rods, tension rods, camber arms, toe arms, front upper arms, hicas kit, sway bars and coilovers. I measure from the edge of the bolt holes on the originals and set the same length on all the adjustable stuff to dial it as close as I could to OEM. Took it straight for alignment; it didnt feel right at all...after alignment, it feels perfect. Similarly i've just changed the springs on another car; and I still needed multiple adjustments to bring it back in spec.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Its a well known brand in New Zealand; its a rebrand of the Rhino RAV3.  I don't know what the wiring difference *is* between the rev.1 (installed about 15 years ago) and rev.2; but as you say I would think its reasonable that it uses the same immobiliser relay circuits. I had a look but couldnt see a similar harness; but didnt move things around since I didnt want to mess with it   It was one of AVS well known Authorised Installers; I spoke to AVS themselves about it but theyre unsure hence seeking advice more so from the skyline community who are more familiar with the actual car and its wiring. Im in Auckland; but the installer is on the other side of the city so hes very reluctant to come back to even look at it to confirm something isnt connected into the wrong wire.  I dont want to drop the name since they *did* do a really good job for the most part. Everything is very tidy and he fully replaced all the alarm wiring, all the sensors, the wiring to the door motors, installed a switch which was never installed in the first place...really happy with the alarm install itself..just not this one issue. We all make mistakes, if it is the alarm, I just want my fuel pump getting proper switched, fused, power as it was; without having to shell out for an auto electrician to switch a wire and tell me it was the alarm.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.

      Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
