Hello All,

Had an unfortunate incident with my R32 GTR yesterday arvo, I finished work went to the car in the car park and some little pr@#ks had tried to steal it. Smashed my key barrell nearly ripping it off completely, scratching panels etc....shit I was mad !!! Cant believe the balls of these types, middle of the day, 20+ cars in the carpark, people in and out constantly. They must of been spooked (or amatuers)because they were very close to starting her. I could rant about this for a page or 2 but I wont put you through that :) (I have a pic of whats left of the barrell if anyone is interested)

I am sure many of you have bought alarms over the years, does anyone have any units that they would recomend.

I like the idea of a GSM unit, has anyone had any bad experiences with these ?

Cheers,

Scott.

GT Autosound do AutoWatch alarms. Probably one of the best alarms you can get and they no their shit there to by the best hiding places etc. Wouldn't go anywhere else personally.

A few of my mates have had problems with some other big name alarms like Viper. Their warranty isn't worth the paper it's printed on.

Seconded Madaz

The way they left the area in a big hurry (somewhere between 2pm and 3pm) I reckon they were spooked.

I will be firing an email off Monday morning to all staff that may of been in the area and seen the car take off like a bat out of hell.

Their car was most likely stolen but will post any details I can get and someone may recognise the car, all I know so far is it was most likely White due to the paint scratch on the rear quarter and they were vertically challenged as they had to move my seat forward.

..I also had some personal items stolen from the centre console that would be very recognisable. I am not prepared to describe it on here but will reply to a PM.

no on site CCTV ?

Only in the depot, not in the staff or truck car park as yet, still in the quoting stage :down:

Checked the camera that points at the gate on the street but does not show the street at all unfortunately. (Depot gate is on oposite side of road)

aww, well at least you still have the car i know its a headache having to fix but imagine having to ring your insurance assuming you have it saying the car got stolen and didn't have an alarm

Yes you are right, I had an old alarm in there but it has been playing up for months, I got complacent thinking that work and home would be the safest places to be parked and didnt get a new one. I never leave the car unattended at shopping centres etc.

Lesson learnt !!

I had my car broken into at 3am today, was parked right next to a bedroom window with a sensor light pointing at the car. My damage isnt anywhere near as bad as yours as the alarm must of scared them from going any further than opening the door.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
