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 :/

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
