dont know if this will be useful to anyone but heres what i did to make my car

hard to steal...

1.Deleted the door locks, LF door RF door AND boot.

2.Disconnected the the rods that control unlocking the door(from the inside)doesnt

effect the alarm at all.

3.Relocated the master switch to where the cup holder use to be(is practicly useless anyway)

also fabricated a panel for it to fit in and coloured to match the interior

4.installed a gearshift lock.(unless they tow it it aint going no where)mounts to chassis and is similar

to a steering wheel lock

and finallly...

5.installed a triple immobliser dynatron alarm (5star NZ rating)

Overkill? i think not!! :D

maybe borderline overkill...lol I clublock my car even in my driveway eventhough i have an alarm. i'd like to see what the shifter lock looks like mounted though.

Yeah, THANKS for broadcasting to the world how to break into my car!! Good piece of anti-theft info there.

your car may get nicked from the same process and then you would say why didnt someone tell me earlier how easy it was. I cut my wire years ago after someone on the forum pointed this flaw out.

from memory it was the brown wire that goes into the switch unit but double check people by doing a search maybe as this is from my dodgy memory....i take no responsibility...ha you could always re join the wire if its the wrong one..lol

my alarm beeps if you are in the vicinity of my vehicle and will go off with a bump to the car or anything moving inside the car. i did spend $800 for that on top of the security from the previous owner. i think it is totally worth it and not overkill......my prestige plate was stolen and my alarm went off but they were gone before i got to car.

    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
    • Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
