Thanks for your support and help guys, car was found sometime this morning in mile end on fire.

I would get pictures but i was told by my insurance they will be towing it. According to the police the outside seems to be in alright condition but the interior is heavily damaged.

Yeah Hostile, all thieves are scum. down.gif

Also in my case wanting to retain the standard steering wheel a detachable boss kit simply isn't going to work right? I would do it straight away if possible.

Either way I am keeping my eyes peeled and phone ready if I see your car mate.

:/ am i missing something :P

I looked around for ages for them - pretty much got laughed at by the racing fratenity (those who really want the boss kits) for the idea... Sucks. Seems like a perfect security device to me.

Yeah sounds good to me Steve :P

elir32, exactly.. i feel like driving a scooter now :(

Thanks Kien.

I actually think this would be the most effective alarm

Daaaym Dude!!

My kids ran into my office thinking I was watching porn on the PC.........bit of warning next time pls :P

how did they get through ur alarm and immobiliser if u had one?? Anybody using a 'kill switch'?? Just connect it to the wire supplying voltage to your fuel pump (if u have rewired it and the wire passes through the cabin). And hide that switch somewhere. So when they enter, they wont be able to drive off cos car wont get fuel since pump is disabled. Thats something I want to do. Good idea??

How else can a person steal ur car if they dont have a tow truck???? Bastards man, absolute scum, bad luck to them.

I have to second this one, having had my line broken into & theft attempted I know it shouldn't be that easy.

Still I'm upping my security further to make it very hard to steal. A good steering lock by itself is usually better protection than an alarm. Everyone should have one.

I've looked around for detachable boss kits that are air-bag enabled; They don't seem to exist. Which means it would be defectable if your car was released with airbags.

In saying that wouldn't the cars out there be defectable anyway! But yes i didn't think of the later model skylines with airbags.

I think it was acting up, even the central locking was playing games on me when i went to lock it the night before at home.

But the car was locked and secure when i left it that night.. i have a feeling someone must have seen me check the passenger door that was acting up before i left but i doubt it because they smashed the driver side window.

EDIT: Haha sorry Pete tongue.gif

Sorry to hear about your ride, I wonder if it was the same two knuckle heads on a scooter a few nights earlier, they were tampering with cars in Mile End also

I'm still waiting for them to release this : Magna volt

carrying around your removable steering wheel isnt exactly a good fashion accessory....

and having a removable gear shift in your pocket might get the girls asking questions...

Modify your electrical system so one major part can be easily taken with you.... or carry a wheel clamp in the boot.

fuel pump relays :) remove the relay... cya later

or in an auto... theres a wire that tells the car its in park, and can start... swtich this little bad boy and ur rig aint going anywhere

theres millions of diff ones u can do...

engine needs spark air and fuel... 2 of them are totaly electric controlled... there for switches and so on can be used.

for the weekend rig that for some silly reason wd b outside during the week... un hooking coilpack looms at the back, afm plugs or somthing is an easy fix... not sumthing you want to do daily tho...

at the end of the day... if they want it they will get it... and if they cant get it they will damage it badddd trying!

Sorry to hear about the theft then torching dude. I hate thieves, so as a minimum I have:

Clublock

Black wired alarm system

Immobiliser

and a few little secrets, plus I'm never far from my car.

If they do happen to get my car, I'll find it (and them) and they'd wish the cops got them.

;)

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox !
