My dad thinks he spotted them again about 2 weeks ago after 2 months of not seeing them, I think they must drive past occasionally and just to check if its garaged or not which is what dad has seen both times at 5pm with heaps of people around, and then probably plan to come back later at night to steal it, probably what I saw when I caught them with torches at midnight. So dad kicked mums car out of the garage permanently which works well for me. No more having sea salt mist encrusted on my car 3 days after washing it :) .

why not install a driveway monitor? I have one across my driveway and it even picks up my cat going past. Its not going to stop your car getting stolen but at least you will have an idea that there are people about.

PM me if you need any more info ok ?

thanks

Just make sure you got Third party fire and theft with all your mods listed in your sum insured. There are professional car theifs out there and if they want it bad enough they will get it. Example the eleanor from Vic Park (I think). 5 Theives actually stole 4 other cars boxing the stang in just to get to steal it.

6.5k u are joking right? i told my insurance they can bash their agreed value up their a## and the bloke said "alright for $17 more a year i will increase agreed value by 2.5k.."

FYI a work colleague, motor vehicle assessor, told me that my R33 GTST 1997 S2 is worth $16,000 market value under the company I work for... Not bad for full comp @ <$800 a year premiums... xs $1150. Yes they insure WA under a couple of brands.

Sounds like you have a problem dude, I'd say maybe do a stake out, do they come during random parts of the week, weekends? If you can get the plates you can report them to the police. Good option is parking your car in the garage and parking another car in the way though.

thanks for the replies, I dont really have much money to spare so I'll probably get an ignition/fuel cut switch installed, my dad thinks it should be quite easy to do and said he has done it on his own vehicles in the past

The fuel tank suggestion seems a bit extreme haha specially with my mystery fuel guage that drops from full to empty in 100kms

I do have 3rd party fire+theft however I really wouldn't like to have the car stolen as the stupid women that did my insurance told me "r33s are worth 6.5k at most" according to redbook and I have a 3k excess so the payout would be a grand total of 3.5k :) woohoo.. nearly enough for me to go on boostcruising and buy a VL

I have the same type of insurance for an r33, insured for 10k and 550 excess, mite be an idea shop around for new insurance provider :ermm:

small piece of wire will bridge out any relay haha.

imo best bet would be getting a quick release steering wheel, but if they look in the window they might bring 1 for next time lol.

very good alarm with motion sensors and all that crap?

edit: lol sorry for reviving it

Security cameras with motion detection/recording/notification aren't very expensive or difficult to set up...

cheap security cameras are shit. they have terrible resolution and the IR function on them sucks. and lest say u get some real good video footage of the ass holes, it doesn't matter because the po po wont do anything so the best thing to do is get a good alarm

You're buying the wrong stuff then and if you're relying on the in-built IR LED's, you're an idiot. Please don't tell me how to suck eggs :/

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
