hey guys,

ive been meaning to install a kill switch in my car for ages. im not going to go into where to put the switches, because thats a bit silly. what i want to know is what to immobilize.

as most thieves are familiar with kill switches and are able to bypass them, i want to know what are the most difficult devices on our cars to bypass. im pretty good at wiring and can get to most things without leaving a trace of where ive cut and wired in a switch.

easy things to bypass are fuel pump and ECU, i want to get into things like map sensor, AFM, coil packs etc etc. things that would need more time to try figure out and as you can imagine, the more time it takes to get something started, the higher chance of them giving up!

i know there is another type of switch where you use yourself as the ground while starting the car, you touch the switch and it then allows you to start the car. what part of the ignition only needs ground while starting it?

try not to give too much away when giving your suggestions as you never know who is reading.

cheers,

joe

this has been discussed a few times on here. huge arrays of ways to stop a car.

as Chris said, but another version is your cig lighter is your passkey..lol no cig lighter with the right curcuit, no car start or radio kill switch for the mechanics who like to blast your subs while working on your car. then hand you keys back and say your speakers were dead when you arrived..

in my old 180SX

I cut:

Using Pin Start Pad

- CAS

- Fuel Pump Relay Trigger

- ECU Power

Alarm Cut

- Power

- Starter

- And Fuel Pump Power

AND when I parked the car, ripped out ECCS relay & Alternator fuse LOL.. have fun trying to hot wire that betches!

kill switches suck. i vote make it so they can brake in and drive the car but then make it so the doors lock behind them and a bypass valve directs all the exhaust gas in to the cabin or use a gas bottle with some type of toxic gas. this would be very easy to set up with some of the mobile phone activated alarms. just wire up a relay to the door locks and another to the gas bottle. hmmm this is a pretty good idea, it started as a joke but maybe just maybe something like this would work. :)

It's sad we live in this society... look at Japan, most if not all their cars don't even have immobilisers..

One child policy for unemployed!

if they want another kid, $10k fee to the government

unemployed bogans/derros will raise more unemployed bogans and derros... baby bonus is stupid, true we're an aging nation, but bringing up a bunch of retards won't fix shet, when they're unemployed and increasing crime.

for example, those retards in campbelltown protested because police chased a retard in a stolen commodore which he then crashed and killed himself...

don't laugh but they do make something similar to this commercially, it fills the cabin with smoke so dense you cant see shite. won't stain and doesn't smell.

and can be reused .

smoke car alarm

there are other nasty party tricks you can play but I'm sure in this country your ass will go to jail, cause crims have more rights then you do trying to protect your property.

need a "make my day" law here.. like usa...lol

guys, try to do locations etc using PM.

If you don't already know this, when using google quite often this site pops up with all sorts of keywords from posts like this one.

haha and using a flat bed has it's negatives.

1. it puts your car like 2 meters in the air, its like a billboard "hey look at me"

2. in conjuction with point number one, if you spot your car on the flat bed, they can't exactly out run you if your in a mates car etc

3. they can't pick your car up if its in between 2 other cars.???

4. Unless they use fake plates witnesses can report the registration to the cops

5. Not the most discrete thing in the world, yes i agree some people will think your getting towed for a legitimate reason sometimes but then again some people might take notice and do something about it, especially you if you catch them in time.

:happy:

i love it. and nobody die's... then again :P would rather have the thief dead or really f**ked up although if they got locked in the car with that smoke for 3hr's im sure the would not try it again :whistling:

couldn't u use a relay with a after market head unit as the kill switch. so when the face is not plugged in the HU is of and with the relay (s) kills ECU, fuel pump, coils the list goes on. if this is too good of a idea admis delete this post :laugh: jks

kids/bogans/junkies/derros can't afford a flat bed

then they get the idea well if i cant have it he cant and will either leave it on bricks, smash windows to get stereo, key it or worst of all, set it alight. but then again atleast your car will still be where you left it just a little damaged and undriveable yourself :/, kill switches, immobiliser or anything like that, as every one keeps saying if they want your car they will get it, if they cant get it the will wreck it.

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
