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.

;)

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
