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...

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!

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
