hey people's just moving into a skyline but i thought i'd go hard and well lets say finance is nearly through on the GTR r34.

If anyone has ideas on how to avoid theft i'd like to know I realise no one lives in a crimeless area, so what can i do to protect the new baby?

Some have mentioned sensor light etc I'm interested to know does anyone park thier gtr somewhere other than home? Best alarms? etc

Open to ideas

QuickTrack or similiar is about the best protection, as well as an alarm that meets AUS and International specs. Mongoose make about the only range in which every alarm meets those specs (3 stage immobilisation, all black wiring, internal relays only, etc) I think. Vipers upper spec stuff does, but not their cheap gear.

I saw this thing a guy got from jaycar. It was like a little remote sensor. You could put it anywhere. it came with a pager like thing which went off when motion was detected on the remote sensor. Kinda good if you can't see your GT-R because the sensor will notify you when there is movement that should't be there.

Internal horn. Best ever!

I have heard of people jigging the lock and lieing in the car until you disabled the alarm, alot of people just look at the car, if there is no-one around, turn it off then look at it for a few minutes in case someone returns. Then they sit up and shimmy the lock and away with your car.

Internal horn stops that, if its hella fkn loud in the car, he aint gonna lie in it.

I dont think I'd ever trust my cars wellbeing to something as simple as a single switch for the battery (not to mention the electronic parts that will shat having no constant power feed to maintain settings)....

3 stage immobilisation is much better, especially when coupled with QuickTrack or similiar in case they use a tilt tray. Internal siren is a good idea, but I've yet to see one that is loud enough to actually stop you fiddling in there. I've been in a car with apparently "THE LOUDEST LEGALLY AVAILABLE SIREN!!!" advertised on the packet... I was in there long enough to pinch it. I would have disconnected the siren too, cept the owner was next to me and I doubt he would have appreciated me doing that :)

Get an ultrasonic sensor if you want the coolness of a warning chirp when someone goes near the car. It has 2 fields, an interior and exterior field. If someone triggers the exterior field it chirps and alarm, but if they trigger the interior field the alarm goes off.

And get a pager too, so if you are out of hearing distance of the alarm you still get a notification.

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?

      What Duncan said sounds right. Also, it looks like they only have the driver's mat. Not the rest. Because looking at the diagram: KG4911 is just the mat for the driver. KG4900 is the full set if I'm not mistaken and discontinued.   But, it looks like they may still have the full set for the manual S2. Might be worth checking for the other models as well as they seem slightly different. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/misc/G49 Man, I'm tempted.

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
