Insurance sucks & making car theft proof

[nissky]

Just got quote from just cars....$1950

Market value only $14000, excess $1200 effectively,

this is for 29 year old, with 60% NCB

Famous will match it but not better it ! so screw them all...

back to third party only.......

My only concern is theft, how do i make my car harder to steal...

So far my anti-theft measures are;

- car looks stock so doesnt attract too much attention

- triple immobiliser

- 2nd alarm with another immobiliser

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.....

shatter proof window tint -$500

autolock steering wheel and gearstick to handbrake lock $400

somehting like quicktrak - $1500

Someone at Famous must have been having a bad day, i'm 27 never had insurance in my name before and i got quoted $1700 for full comp with agreed value of $16500 for my modded 32gtst. Excess was about the same.

$50 a week for a junkie to guard your car?

If I didn't have theft insurance I would definitely get a tracking device. The only reason I don't have one now is because my insurance won't give me any sort of discount to put one on so where's the incentive? If I had the spare cash I'd buy one.

tracking device...nah id rather get insurance

hmmm where can i get tracking device stickers haha

i still like my idea of getting a big dog to live in your back seat.... a pit bull or doberman would work.... just have to figure a way of getting the dog shit off the seats.

Dogs are better the junkies, they cost less and dont smell as much

you could go back to old skool kill switches...

i ran (on my old car) a relay to my fuel pump that was switched from inside the cabin, a solenoid on my fuel line & the ol' faithful ignition kill switch.

before you all laugh people tried to steal it on several occasions and failed. its annoying to come back to a car with a stuffed ignition barrel n window, but better than coming back to no car at all

3M metal Security Tint

they are expensive but worth it, i think if u tell ur insurance company you have these,they might even lower your premium

i HIGHLY reccomend this tint, but then again some stupid *^*^*&%^%&^ can just smash the front windscreen,but its better than nothing

[(B1) MR_fanny]

my cuz...the old skool kid that he is suggested to put this kill switch in my car.....its a good idea....does it affect anything else like alarm or ecu?

[NuGGeT]

i have been told from a few places that the security tint can be bashed it it just need alot more hits but it can still be popped in

where can you buy a gearstick lock from?

[gexiaowen]

blinking red light and padlock should put away most joy riders,,,,

but when it comes to professional, nothing is really useful here

but then again why would they have all these hassel to steal a r33 skyline??

[Spook's_Skyline]

try suncorp for your insurance

i pay 850 a year comprehensive (suncorp dont mind imports if you are over 25)

tracking device...nah id rather get insurance

hmmm where can i get tracking device stickers haha

Yeah R33 and R32 Skylines are getting so cheap there's no value to the professional thief surely. Now on the other hand if you have a Ferrari...

Oh, to make your car theft proof, sell it and buy a Barina. Seriously who is going to steal a Barina?

But seriously, get a wheel clamp, a club lock, a gear stick lock etc. The sheer number of visual deterrents should be enough to put anyone off.

My stock looking S14 series one was stolen.

third party insurance.

alarm, club lock, off street parking.

I'm out of pocket $16K for that car and $4K for the shitter I drive around in now.

Don't be a tool.

get comp insurance

[GTRR]

off street parking as in a place where its not visable to the public?
