my car got broken into by the ****heads sliding a metal wire down my window seal near the boottom of where the pillar and the door leave a gap aroun 5mill big. best thing to do is to get a loud alarm, 3 point or more immobilizer and keep valubles and little eye candy out of sight.

The problem with skyline ownership is most theives want your car for parts/rebirth etc and not for joyriding.

Young pricks looking for a car to joyride in will be deterred straight away buy a steering lock as its easier to walk along to the next xe falcon/ commo etc that doesnt have one.

Skylines are not stolen by oppurtunists, they are targeted for theft and the sad story is if some c@nt really wants to take your car they will get it.

Professional car theives are just that, proffesionals, and it dont matter what gizmo you have on your pride and joy they have a way around it. Sad but true.

Ant to the commo owner who got towed away, I hear ya dude, my freind had his 200sx equipped with an alarm that engaged the brakes when activated get towed from a shopping centre in broad daylight. All he seen when he returned to the spot was 2 big skids where the tilt tray had dragged his car up.

Who would suspect though, think about it. Your in a shopping centre and you see a GTR getting pulled up onto a tilt tray. Most people would think " poor buggers getting his car repossessed "

How much is a tracking system?  

Initial Cost?

Install ?

Maintainance / yearly subscription?

Quicktrak is the only one I know of, it costs around $2000 to install and the yearly subscription fee is around $300. It comes with a 3 point immobiliser as well.

breaking into the car cannot be prevented unless you james bond it with a break-glass detonator.

seriously, regarding black-market parts, this is the goal of most thieves. they want to strip the car and sell the parts. and they want a fast and clean getaway. so don't give them the luxury of getting anywhere. use layers, as one guy suggests:

get a quick-release steering wheel. get a remote fuel pump switch. disconnect the battery. remove the plug wires. acquire a wheel "boot" and put it on the car.

not enough? thief wants to spend time fixing all of this? thief has a tow truck? well:

remove a wheel. park near a light post, chain car to post. drive skyline only to friend's houses or valet parking malls. figure it the f%ck out.

    • Are you suggesting that the kit did a cheap and nasty job of just jamming the wheel in between other things and caused the misalignment? I mean, we normally do this with an integrated crank trigger wheel, not something bodged on. It's not 1995 any more.
    • I mean, given the number of BMWs you own their tolerance for improper torque is rather low. The number of torque + angle spec bolts and non-reusable bolts in one is nuts.
    • Atmospheric vent requires something that doesn't use a MAF for load. You would need a standalone ECU for that.
    • Hey all,   I’ve got an RB25 with a trigger kit that includes a crank wheel, and I’ve hit a wall trying to sort a timing belt tracking issue. The belt either rides right on the edge of the cam/crank pulleys or walks slightly forward once the engine starts. It tracks okay-ish for a moment, then creeps right to the edge—and honestly, it’s stressing me out.   I’ve spent hours removing and reinstalling the belt, double-checking everything:   Tensioner setup is good, checked multiple times Idler pulley and washers are all in the correct places Followed the RB25 timing procedure step-by-step     The only thing I changed was the rear crank washer—I swapped the OEM one for a Neato version, and it made things worse. The belt now sits even more forward than before. I’m beginning to think the crank trigger wheel itself (from the trigger kit) is the issue—poor design or slightly off dimensions.   What’s strange is that with the previous belt setup, it actually ran fine for a couple of years—around 4,000 to 5,000 miles, even with hard driving and high RPMs. But even then, the belt was always riding right on the edge, and I know that’s not ideal or safe long term.   At this point, I’m debating whether to:   Machine a few mm off the crank trigger wheel to bring it back in line, or Replace it entirely with a better-designed unit     Only thing is, I already have the Cherry Hall sensors, bracket, etc.—I just want to replace the wheel only, not the entire kit. Anyone know a brand or supplier that sells just the crank trigger wheel on its own?   Would really appreciate any feedback—especially from anyone who’s run into this exact issue and found a reliable fix.   Thanks in advance.
    • Hi...a little refresh. Is Nistune gonna be enough to run BoV? Or do i need some proper ECU?
