How effective is cutting fuel to a theif!

Im in the process of making a REMOTE fuel line on/off solinoid only changed via remote only .If power was cut to the car it would revert to its normal position *off*(so everytime u leave ur car it will cut the line*)

How hard would it be to steal my car when i get it done?

got a tilt tray :P

or they'll strip it for parts where it sits , or if you wire it wrong the fire could be interesting to watch.

or when the fuel cuts off on massive boost seizing the motor ...caused by lousy wiring connection while a truck hurls towards you in the passing lane head on ????? leave it to someone who knows how to do it. for your own safety..lol

lol, tilt tray

just get jb or whoever to install a 2 or 3 point immobiliser. that makes the car as hard to steal as possible, even cars with big shiny alarms still have breakable windows.

the alarms must automatically turn off after 30seconds (90 outside nsw) anyways so all anyone has to do is throw a rock, hide for 30s to see if anyone comes and then take your umbrella (or whatever they can get their hands on).

from what i've heard it takes a long, long time to start 3 point immobilised car, they may as well wait to mug you when you go for a drive

tilt tray? lol so i take it would be effective and piss them off? :) i have a 3 point mate and it was stolen and about the wiring im a sparky :)

wow, they were keen! lol. if they can get round the three point can't they get round a fuel solenoid? isn't the fuel pump one of the three points?

I have personally bupassed several of these installs within a minute of getting in the car. siren screaming away and the car is running.

do agree with the rock comment. seen that in action and the owner simply turns the alarm off. doesnt work with those alarms that have anti falsing built into them though.

corrected for accuracy.

to be honest if I want your car I'll break into your house find the keys and drive off.. no amount of wiring things stops that if I have the remote. now if the alarm has a hidden switch that works in conjunction with the remote then its probably going to slow me down a bit. (autowatch do this.) now if I dont really care I'll key the crap out of it and trash the thing as a I can't get it so you are going to have it payback.

key point here. insurance. if someone wants your car bad enough it will disappear. all an alarm will do is slow them down.

troy,

agreed.

how can you determine if it has been properly installed?

there is a slap happy slightly correct way to install, 90% of the shops do those. for a quick buck !! who looks under the dash ? who would know what there looking at ??? those shops are all too common

and don't let a mate install it, unless there a pro !!!

and then there is the well thought out, very very hidden, Soldered wires, taped to be nearly impossible to find or remove

triple redundancy circuits

you name it

sensors on everything!!! finely tuned to stop false alarms, effective customer knowledge of use, installers who spend the time to do it right and will back up what they install 100% for life of ownership( except failure of unit, a few have lifetime warranty even on the unit if pro installed)

the best alarm is only as good as the customer's common sense. leave a ipod on the seat, bang kiss it goodbye, smash and dash

I had a shite box 100 dollar car broken into for 4 bucks of shrappnel in the drink holder. mind you they sliced there arm extremely bad judging from the blood trail. so nothing is sacred in oz. worse then America by far!!!!

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
