It's quite sad that the Police target imports through defects etc...

And then there are thieves who target imports just for parts etc...

I have sworn to myself to never park in any of the car parks in the city. EVER.

Had similar experience at the Entertainment Centre carpark. Attempted but never got anywhere since I had an alarm / immobilizer and steering wheel lock.

Best of luck with it but it is common knowledge that these carparks in the city are swarming with teams of car thieves who target imports etc.

sorry to hear, im always out n about all over syd will keep and eye out for you...

my brother inlaw nearly had his r33 gtr series 3 stolen to star city last year, they broke into it, and managed to get up 2 floors (near the exit) the immobiliser stopped them from the driving car, but we suspect they had another car pushing it form behind as his rear bar was scratched.

the security guard wasnt helpful and didnt say much. we suspect an inside job :thumbsup:

Newbie question... can you just buy a car alarm and have it installed yourself?

Yes you could, but you probably wouldn't do a very good job unless your an auto electrician.

The alarm install is more important than an alarm, but in some cases nothing is going to stop a thief, eg. if they have a tow truck.

i never park my car full stop... i cruise it, than park it back in my garage. if i go out for dinner i wont take it unless i can park it out the front of the place and be siting with it in sight at all times. Theres just too many losers out there. If you can afford a GTR you can afford a 1000buc daily driver to hack around in.

the thing with a club lock is that it slows the f**kers down. I use one on mine (a decent $60 dollar one) in conjunction with an immobiliser and loud alarm, due to the amount of abos who steal cars around here (including my old mans). Also have floodlights in the front and back yards.

My mate had his wrx stolen from that car park last week.

That place is dodgy!

In that case, I wonder what the LAC can reveal in the car-theft-stats !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That'll reveal how dodgy it is !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That stakeout (+ bait) idea still seems intriguing - hmmm...

I think this idea is brilliant,could well get a good result as well. :P

Yeah, if the five-0 can't do anything about it (because maybe they're in on it), perhaps a seemingly elderly couple in an innocuous turbocharged Foz could lie in wait for someone to break into a GT-R or STi (as bait); and then us oldies could gun it...

...and block off their escape. Got a couple of UHF radios too.

Now Genelle, all we need is a nice smick GT-R + young dudes in running shoes... :P:):(:cool:

...terry trots off to check on how to orchestrate a Citizen's Arrest!

Do you have pics of the car?

A steering lock is easy to get thru - they just cut the steering wheel.

I hate to say it, but Skylines rarely get found once they are stolen, and if they are found, there isn't much left of them.

I hope you had decent insurance cover.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
