Club Locks?

[ferni]

What are everyone's thoughts on club locks? are they a waste of time? or are they worth it? I think that most skyline owners have alarms/immobilisers.... is it worth getting a club lock as well?

If so anyone have any recommendations as to which brand/model?

[paulr33]

just get a good alarm is my advice, not sure what everyone else does

[Jimbo2000]

i've got a good alarm but i use a special steering wheel lock as a visual detterant.

its great do a google search for autolok

[ferni]

what about any tracking devices? if so are they worth it?

[Jimbo2000]

for a GTR, I say yes.

[ferni]

what companies/brands should i look into - have never looked into tracking?

[Jimbo2000]

quiktrak is usually the way people like to go, there are a few others but i dont know about them.

[ferni]

anyone have any idea of how much this costs - i'm looking at the website but can't find any figures

also for anyone else reading this thread i found a page that had comparisons between club locks..

[Jimbo2000]

that club lock comparison dosnt take into account the bigger/beefier steering wheel locks, mine cost ovr 200 dollars

[ferni]

you got the autolok one jimbo?

Also be care full how u put it on your steering wheel, the rubber on the steering wheel lock can sometimes damage the leather on your steering wheel as well, as protecting your car.

[Jimbo2000]

yup, its really good

i use a club lock as well as having an alarm.

if it means that a potential thief has to get through that aswell as the alarm, then it will take longer. which gives them more chance of being caught.

also get an immobiliser, and if your really worried then pull out a well chosen fuse. then for the car to be stolen they have to break in, stop the alarm, get through the club lock, bypass the immobiliser then know to look in the fuse box and replace the fuse (if they have one). then if the car gets stolen, it was just meant to be.

or they can tow it and work on it where no one can see you As what happened to my Dad.

Anyone use wheel clamps?

[Veilside R33]

any ideas what fuse to pull? my skyline doesnt have the original owners manual so i dont know what fuse iz what? and yeah anyone able to give info on wheel locks how they work and cost etc? i always turn my wheels to lock position aswell so if the break into the car and put it in neutral and remove the brake, they then still have to bypass the steering column to turn the wheels from lock.

and just quietly aybee i love ur avitar!

[EnricoPalazzo]

im the same as aybee. not only is it another thing thiefs have to get thru, but its also a visual deterant.

[P1E]

In addition, some of the more expensive brands come with guarantees - ie., if your car is stolen, the company will pay your insurance theft excess up to $2,000.00.

I have a prolock in the back seat but I never use it as I have quiktrak.

I'd be using one if you don't have a decent alarm.

[Milo]

I got a dodgey cheapy club lock as a visual detterent. Also used in self defence if need be.

[Veilside R33]
