congrats man!

on the immobilizer issue - your opening up a massive can of worms. there are tonnes of threads about good and bad ones. You can argue the issue that the cheaper immobilizers are abviously lower quality - thus does not protect your car as much as expensive ones, and brand name immobilizers are easier to bypass because they are so widely used.

At the end of the day the level of your cars security is up to you. Your better of keeping it to yourself so no one knows how far you have gone to make your car safe.

Alot of poeple go for the mongoose immobilisers, and they come in a range of security levels. three point immiblizers are the best i tihnk. And yeah i was lucky to get a qoute less then $500.

Congrats on picking up the r33 sydking.

my fisrt mod after getting mine was an alarm and after reading a couple of recent thefts on the forum i would reccomend getting a decent system.

I had Daniel from Platinum Car Security install mine and he was great-took the time to do it right and the best part is he comes to you which was great. i also thought very well priced considering it takes a while to install. So i would definately receommend him.

cheers rich.

i got the m80s with the motion sensors inside, shock sensors etc and tilt sensors, so if somone wants to jack your car up to take the wheels it'll go off just before the wheel comes of the ground. but yeh dont skimp of the alarm, get a club lock as well just for looks more than anything you wouldnt want to have anything happen to your new car :D enjoy it

its pretty obvious that they're there if your looking through the window, how you gunna disable them without going into the car, as soon as you go into the car the alarm would go off and it'd be just like disabling any other alarm so why are you being a smart ass when all im trying to do is help the guy out. mayby i should take out the flashing red led as well so if someone walks past they might think it doesnt have an alarm and then get a rude shock when they smash my window..........

sorry i didnt realize you knew which one of the skylines in aus mine was shit i'd better watch out, here's a hint its not the car in my profile, that should help you break into my car a little bit more. hmmmm i reckon i should enter in at least which city i live in in my profile so that will help you a bit more, get down off your high horse and put a post in if you think it contributes to the relative topic tool

Just saw this thread - Ease up mate, i was only kidding. I honestly thought you would have just taken a hint and removed the alarm details from your above post!? But hey, each to their own.

To clarify, yes - you can bypass microwave sensors hooked up to an M80, if you really want to scoop that low and attempt to steal someone elses pride and joy. I'm not going to be responsible for educating people how to do it - but it can be done. I actually had one set up in my old car and also had the same alarm, would loved to of explained to you the best way to set, position and place the sensor itself, and also a few things which are almost always bypassed during standard security installs to pretty much ensure you wont get f**ked if someone did try and steal it - but unfortunately, it doesnt look like you want advice. Also, while on topic - a large number of the generic microwave sensors are defective and false alarm a lot - etc, easy fix for these though if you know what you're doing. I have numerous friends who are auto electricians and have a few which specialise in car security, so i guess its natural for a few of their small tricks rub off on to me.

No, I dont know your car - but some theives are experts. This is what they do. For example - its as easy as buying something from you even just on this forum, coming to pick it up, then they follow you home, plot the strike, then perform a few days or months later. I dont know about you, but owning these type of cars, I dont even pull into my street with any other cars in sight, if its busy, I pull over and wait till its silent.

Anyway, if someone did follow me home, i wouldnt want them to know what type of alarm i had installed. If im popping a deal with someone off this forum, I never even bring my car there, I even black out my rego plates in pictures. Call me careful, cautious, vigilant, whatever. But you never know who views what on the internet and why.

I'm here to help, but its a shame that the occasional joke can seriously send people over the edge such as the above.

I'm sure you were just having a bad day and you're not really as immature as that last post makes you out to be.

Cheers.

    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
