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 :/

    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
    • Probably. I take it that they are also mentioned to be for R34 Skyline? For example.... RDA has that part as RDA7957. I have the dimpled and slotted version of that on my car https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285518478694?srsltid=AfmBOopKxMuAFpsxZJdB1cam4D5RAj1f9yJyOttPZLAwXVNCOiwlhrIy This is DBA's top one piece equivalent https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364246686631?srsltid=AfmBOorbb0XHQgqTvZLgQPhg70nqJtGvdojKnugum3O2LFSr2h-obp8D
