Agree with that but having a insurance means that at least there is a way of getting something back. Not having a go at you mate but having insurance is really handy. The way I see it is no one can stop someone from stealing cars but having insurance means you can get back most of what you lost.

the caster rod looks straight i had to cut the wishbone with a grinder cos it was that bent it bent over the bolt to take the arm off so really i will have to match it with one that is straight also how the hell do you take it off the sub cos all i see is a huge star shaped nut/bolt do you have that tool or am i way off of how to get it out lol

Yeah I haven't taken mine off yet, just dropped the whole frame so I will have a sus when I take it off as I haven't removed one. Pretty sure I have the star shaped tool here if thts what's needed.

stolen keys? previous dodgy owner? something crafty like in gone in 60 seconds? I'm a curious cat! :yes:

There is a way to get a key without jumping thu to many hoops , sadly the manufacture and gov rules provide the details needed

A slack locksmith would cut one !

i wont divulge how its done because to stop the data on your end would cost a bucketload and not practical

And crims dont need any help

There has been a lot of cars nicked with keys and alarm remotes coded lately but the people were arrested over the weekend down south

I still say that nothing beats a secret single or dual action hidden kill switch... Don't even tell your mates where it is hidden/how it operates.

It does not need to be engaged every time but if you are leaving your car overnight or parked when out at a function then turn it on...

They can play with the alarm and immobilisers the ignition or even have a key. Most petty car thief's now how to get around even the best alarms.

with that said it won't stop a determined pro but it will stop the joy riders and low to middle class thief's who take your car and just end up thrashing it and causing medium to minor damage.

If mine was to go I would want a pro to do it... At least then when found, if ever it would be in no condition to be fixed... They are never the same once damaged and repaired :(

How many bogans , meth heads or general scum does it take to steal a car

1 with a towing setup

No amount switches will thwart that

A gps might

A big attack dog maybe

a security gaurd 24/7 doubt it

common sense will stop a fair bit

Cant tell you how many skylines or stags i see parked overnight in extremely bad areas lately

Mostly P 's but not all

A better kill switch is one you cant see a proximity switch behind plastics( touch switch or voice command)

Or close range rfid setup to blow a hidden fuse on a major system if a sequence isnt followed to start it

mutiple layers of security not just 1

The " pro's " arrested had recoded alarm remotes as well so it would have cost some cash to do some remotes are hundreds of dollars?

and had many cars in various states of strip down

they also had the public and a few major companies supporting the operation without knowing it

So it should ease up the thefts down south a tad?? I hope

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
