hey guys just last night i was at a friends place who lives up north and as i left i realised someone had tried to break into my car ~_~;; the entire section behind the driver side window was pretty much ripped out and had marks all over it from repeatly jamming something into it. Recently i have seen on these forums toooo many people having their cars stolen/torched i guess i am a lucky one since i still have my car with minor dmg. anyone have any good solutions that can reduce this bs.... i mean stuff steering locks? other things that may help? or possible a good alarm system?

thanks

I know I sound like a broken record, but anyone who owns a Skyline and doesn't have an alarm deserves to have it stolen and just causes all our premiums to be sky-high.

MINIMUM should be a decent pager alarm (so you get notification from up to 1km if anyone even goes near your car), with 3/4 immobilisation points, a kill switch (I have 2), AND a Club Lock. I believe the Club Lock is the MOST important, as more often than not thieves will see it and think "too hard" and move on to the next car.

You mean to say that you never considered an alarm before to deter theives?

Keep a f**king big dog in the front seat

I can also be employed to sit in the front seat, with my masculine frame and bulging biceps, i assure you theives wont be a problem.

+1 to alarm

2 or 3 point alarm - you are mad if you have any sports car without one, and your insurance might drop for it as well.

Plus get a huge snake to sit on the parcel shelf, it will keep it warm and it can eat rogue flies...

the other day my alarm went off the car is in a lock up carport with a door too the house i went screaming out only to find my dog was locked in the carport somehow and his barking had set the alarm off didnt think it was quite that sensitive . but he as a loud bark and i guess it echoed in the carport .

mind you if it had been a thief and the dog was there i would pity them our german shepard has a thing about people he doesn't know :-)

Im with Crawler, If you drive a skyline a good alarm is a must. Black wire, battery backup, 3pt immobilisation, shock sensors NOT JUST glass break, pager... ect ect...

and if you MUST have a timer get it built into ur alarm module don't have a standard pen gredyy or apexi one. Its giving the theives everything they need in coloured wires nice and easy to get to.

Sounds exactly like what happened to my old 32 in the Northern suburbs (TTG/Mobury area)

Except they caused nearly 5k damage trying to get in.

a good alarm would of gone off with them tampering with your car

used in conjunction with a brightly coloured club lock in your hand to beat them with it

I like your thinking Steve!

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
