How do these cars keep getting stolen? This is getting closer and closer to home and I want to know what (if anything) was protecting these cars from theft in the first place... Surely they can't be getting past immobilizers, alarm systems and fuel cuts (yes I understand they can simply load it up on a truck, but not from lock garages)? Sorry to hear another innocent victims car has been stolen :(

I'm wondering the same thing myself. if half these cars had full alarms on them properly installed I dare say that most would still be sitting in one spot still.

Often wondered that myself. I asked my alarm installer how long it would take a thief to defeat an alarm system and he said if the alarm install is bad, can take 1-2mins to bypass, if it's done well, still only 5-6mins to bypass, this is of course assuming the thief knows their stuff.

Steering wheel locks (i.e. club locks) can be defeated in 30-90seconds with a puller type device readily available to anyone to buy off the internet (they are marketed towards repo guys). So although a good deterant, don't put too much faith in them.

Kill switches, if the thief knows what to look for they can usually find where the owner has put them with a bit of common sense, or they just bring their own tools to manually bypass them, working out what needs to be overcome i.e. fuel/spark etc.

CCTV footage doesn't stop the car from being taken, and in a lot of cases even if it shows the thieves it doesn't mean jack shit to the cops because they can't properly identify the culprits and/or don't have them in custody.

IMO the only safe bet is to have full comp insurance and GPS tracker installed stealthily if you want any (real) hope of retrieving the car, and to try and park it in a secure place.

Saw something like this tonight at about 7:45 headed north on Gympie road. It pulled into the Shell/Maccas on the corner of Newmarket. Was same colour. Dark bonnet. Didn't see wheels or skirts. Plates were different. Had 030 in them. Tint seemed darker also.

If it was the same car it looks different now.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • 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!
