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?

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.

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!

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
