Couldnt find any posts regarding this and didnt know where to put it so here it is,

This morning around 2:30 AM i was unwinding trying to sleep because i work in hospitality and our hours are dog shit, anyway i hear a motorbike come down the street (Nothing unusual we have a fair few riders around the area) but then it was stationary for a quite a bit, i could tell because the bike was very loud, so i decided to peek out of the front window and the bike was near my skyline, he put something in his pocket and got back on his bike and went on his way, id thought i might of been able to get away from all the car theives that target skylines in sydney and other cities because i live in a ruralish area but obviously not.

Im obviously fearing for the worst because ive just bought it and im still a bit paranoid about it, any thoughts if this is a real potential threat or not.

I do have a garage but it is full right now and it wont cleared enough for my car for a good while, i have a backyard which is accessed via 1 drive way which is fenced off and then would be blocked off by another car, have any of you guys encountered something like this, have any tips or good things that i should do to prevent such a thing. Below is a picture of how it usually sits.20181106_182932.thumb.jpg.4a2336d00b26e2ab42bbd0490306d769.jpg

Sounds suspect for sure. Does it have an alarm and immobiliser installed? If you have access to a more secure location, i would definitely use it, don't be lazy!

Also, anyone know where i can get one of these installed?

LMAO i rate that video mate

 

The Owners manual that came with the car from japan has a Viper security booklet in it, but i dont know if its active or not, and the car its fitted with something where the car wont start unless your push the clutch in.

Alarm, dont know either. id read through the viper security booklet but i dont know how to read japanese.

Definitely sus, and not worth the risk of doing nothing.

If you can, move it behind your house and park it in - just try and avoid leaving it easily accessible on the street, or even visible from the street.

I sympathise with your concerns though - my worst fear with my car is it getting stolen

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
