Hi guys I was just wondering if any of you know any tricks to make it harder for people to steel your car. Stuff like disconnecting wires or stuff like that so someone can't just get your keys and go. I have a r32 gtst and I often here if them being stolen and it's a worry.

I fitted a Worksbell Quick Release Steering wheel and locking mechanism (in addition to standard alarm etc)

When parked - the wheel is turned to full lock and I take the Steering Wheel off (and with me if required) - then fit the locking hub over the boss.

Should at least discourage the 'joyriders'........

Cheers

I got mine from here:

http://www.tunersgroup.com/

There are different bosses for different cars (depending on HICAS/super HICAS etc.) so difficult to give a price for your situation.

I matched mine to a Momo steering wheel as well - all up was about $ 600.

It should be noted that 'strictly speaking' the modification of the steering column in Victoria and replacement with a 'non padded' steering wheel is not legal - but frankly I dont care ;-)

^this!

had one for a year or two now i live in a dodge area where ive already had one r33 stolen and my brother had his ke70 stolen (luckily he got it back as it was used in a ram raid and dumped) anyway as far as im aware these are the ONLY steering lock in uk to be approved by insurers. now for anyone whos had insurance in the uk they will know this is a big deal as car insurance in the uk is legalised crime. one quote i received when iwas 19 and wanted insurance for a 1.2l renault clio was $16k.......

and no i dont sell these :P

I'd have a word with Chris Rogers, you'll find him in the car audio/security thread. What he doesn't know is not worth knowing.

I agree.

He's about to finish work on my car and then he's taking off to Vic for some lucky sods who managed to pool together to secure his services in making their cars just a wee bit harder to steal.

This car will be the 3rd car of mine he's worked on.

For the record, he's also willing to humor any sort of security idea you might have and he'll shoot you down if it's not worth doing. Fortunately he gave mine the go ahead BUT you better have money ready. Quality work does not come cheap.

Not saying I'm rich but I'd rather spend the money on a good security installation than an exhaust + tune only to lose everything when the car gets taken. An insurance payout isn't exactly the same as your pride and joy is it? ;)

thanks for the replies guys I might look into a GPS tracker so if it does ever get stolen the cops can see exactly where the car is

...for a while until it's stripped or burnt out.

Prevention is better than a gps tracker.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
