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

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
