adeliade, close to east terres, was getting one but had a club lock on

a Skyline without an alarm ?????? sucks to hear..... but really it is one of the targeted cars ??? hope it was insured ???

this town is full of savages I swear..lol

wish police would lock em up for a long time, not defect cars all night long. cause it's easier then catching real crims.

You'd hope the insurance is going insure the car without an alarm system as most insurance would want the insured to have an alarm system as a pre-requisite.

yep exactly.. and needs to be up to OZ standards to be covered in most cases too

This is the important bit, most alarms out there are absulute crap. I helped a mate remove an alarm from his s15 the other day that he just bought - as it wasn't working.

Although it looked like a mess of wires under the dash and I thought it was going to take me all day to remove and get the car running again. In the end the way it worked was stupidly simple, and it would have only taken one wire to bypass it all any semi profesional theif could have bypassed it in minutes. But to make matters worse, what ever dodgy installer put it in there must not have been able to get around the factory smart key system, so they sticky taped the original key to the ignition barrel and put the cover back over the top.

About the only thing any alarm system that I have ever delt with has been good for is drainig your battery if you leave it parked for more than 48 hours, and making sure your cental locking never works the same again :P

guys going on about alarms.. I'd say a clublock is just as good, if not better then an alarm when it comes to stealing a car (alarm better for people braking into it)...

You sure you had the lock on? I know theres ways of getting them off, but they take a fair bit, unless they were out there for awhile doing it...

That's why you need an alarm AND a club lock - the alarm draws attention to the vehicle so they don't have 2 minutes uninterrupted in which to get the club lock off .... AND I have 3 piezo sirens inside the cabin that are absolutely deafening - no thief in their right mind would be in my car more than 5 seconds with those things piercing their eardums!

True, Usually a clublock does it's Job, but yes, I do agree with you.. Least he had something, unfortunatly probly not enough for insurance purposes..

I’m also sorry to hear that another Skyline has been stolen. Ill also keep an eye out for it. I like that piezo siren idea Andrew. I’ve considered installing a set in my car and your right they will make ones ears bleed in no time.

Yeah JMW (James) has 2 HOUSE alarm sirens - one in the engine bay AND one inside the car - they are the loudest bloody things you have ever heard. Same principle - deafen them and they won't have a chance to try hotwire your car :P

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛

      The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
