Dylan454 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 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.

GTR-N1 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Dyslectic thieves always think my "START/STOP" button is about "POTS" or "TRASH" Ever tried a security firm to know the 'ins n outs'? My "tricks" I cannot reveal here! Mr Shannon won't let me!

The Baron Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 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'........

Dylan454 Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 How much are those quick release boss kits Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/438467-theft-prevention/#findComment-7185591 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Baron Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 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 ;-) Cheers The Baron Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/438467-theft-prevention/#findComment-7185603 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikha1 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Not really a prevention but a remedy to locate your pride and joy would be a gps tracker hardwired with a backup battery. You will be able to see your car being driven around gta style Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/438467-theft-prevention/#findComment-7194298 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoyWhoCriedWolf Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 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.

Nii San Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) http://www.disklokuk.co.uk/products.html ^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 Edited February 12, 2014 by Nii San Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/438467-theft-prevention/#findComment-7197369 Share on other sites More sharing options...
me_larr Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 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?

GTR-N1 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 So the choice is Chris Rogers/Daniel Gardener OR Mr Bean! Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/438467-theft-prevention/#findComment-7197776 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan454 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/438467-theft-prevention/#findComment-7198540 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_J Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 does Chris Rogers reply to pms or is he away from the computer as of a few weeks ago? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/438467-theft-prevention/#findComment-7198546 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben C34 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 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. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/438467-theft-prevention/#findComment-7198832 Share on other sites More sharing options...
