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 "

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.

      @Butters I can't tell you why but the bigger HKS step 2 cams improved low and mid end immensely. Turbos started spooling about 1k RPM less than before and the idle/vacuum was rock solid, it was an absolute thrill to drive, 3rd gear pulls hit 180kmh where previously only managed 160. Conversely, the milder poncoms in there now have a funky idle making it harder to get off the line, drives poorly in lower revs, laggy and makes less power/torque throughout. Feels better after I swapped the EBC but unless I put it on the Dyno again, I can't say how much better.

      Cams are not needed at this power level, they will create lag. The cam gears are a good idea though.

      @Murray_Calavera yeah, I guessed as much, cooler temps, more boost, less knock, more timing, hello power. Unfortunately not quite within reach ATM, could upgrade my whole fuel system to support but still wouldn't have E85 to run it 😂  Anyway, I changed cams again, 260/260 poncam B and everything else the same except an EBC upgrade. Now I must say I was quite disappointed with the result as it was like running stock cams (didn't try to dial them in as they're supposed to be optimum already) but after awhile I suspected my new EBC was underperforming not to mention difficult to use. I recently swapped back my old EBC and it drives much better now, boost comes on sooner, more stable, no spikes etc, feels all quicker and faster than with stock cams. Planning to fiddle with the cam gears and see what happens but maybe skip the Dyno as I intend to revert to the HKS cams cos they really made the car come alive; low and mid end was unbelievable and it just wanted to rev to the moon, finally knew what people were raving about, RB26 really loves revs. Anyway, Dyno 03 is quite disappointing, in Dyno 02 although peak power was less and trailed off at the top, the low and mid end improvement more than made up for it.

      @Darrel It's so tempting to say e85 is borderline magic. It cools the intake charge, so if you're flirting with the edge of the turbos compressor map it helps dramatically cool down the hot air the turbos are pumping. It is very resistant to detonation so you can crank the timing, I don't really want to say you won't be knock limited anymore.... but you probably wont be knock limited anymore lol. I wouldn't be surprised if you made 20% more power swapping to e85 (provided you have the fuel system to support them, bigger injectors maybe bigger pump etc).
