That's excessively paranoid.

I'm happy to display my car in public. I don't paint my address on the windshield, I don't tell people what type of alarm it has, I don't tell them how often I drive it, where I drive it, nor where I park it.

Then when I'm done not telling people what I do with my car, I get it home, park it in a lock up garage, arm the alarm, and sleep peacefully knowing that should the worst come to pass, Adelaide is a small place, and it's fully insured... Just in case.

None of my Skylines ever got broken into nor even close and every one I've had has been regularly entered into show and shines and driven on a near daily basis.

for peace of mind i swap my plates to another set of plates i have here, and put a little bit of tape over the vin number etc. and ive never had any theft related issues

haha yeah a bit paraniod. i used to be in a couple clubs that would regularly have parts stolen from the display cars, even while we were standing there guarding them... small car sunday, autosalon, here and interstate....

I have had my cars in about 200 shows around the country and have never lost a thing off them , i must be very unlucky !

Unofficial cruise from my place at 7am :) if you don't know where I live, don't ask, just be somewhere along North East Road just after 7am and listen for the rumble...

    • bumping this post as im still having dramas, my fuel pick up is sitting on the bottom of the tank, my pump gets a constant 13 volts through a relay, my fuel pressure holds consistently without fluttering or dropping, yet as soon as im near half a tank of fuel my car starts fuel starving and leaning out, it cant be due to g force as it never pulls hard enough before it starts breaking up, any help would be much appreciated 
    • Just a thought, was that car and auto at any point of its life? If so, maybe whoever bridged the inhibitor switch/circuit did a not so good job.
    • 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...?
