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!

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
