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.

      They care about emissions, and cost the most. Save weight where possible, and make manufacturing easier. Less material also let's the engine transfer heat to water quicker, and bring the engine up to temp quicker, better for emissions and getting them past their warranty period.

      I was under the impression the reason why OEMs are going with solutions like relatively thin "right-sized" cylinder walls with technologies like PTWA and open deck is because they care a lot about whatever marginal knock margin benefits they get from that vs the structural rigidity benefits of a closed deck block and thicker cylinder walls. I also see some weird stuff like plastic inserts in the water jacket around the cylinders to try and equalize cylinder wall temperatures. re: the PRP blocks and heads at the end of the day it's hard to know what is and isn't going to work there, just have to see what the initial buyers say about it.

      Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?

      https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild.

      Yeah very valid point. I am waiting for one of the other tuners to come back from vacation so he can help me a bit when the cat is installed again. In the meantime I am going to finish up my polishing and ceramic coating that I have started myself.    N45 Dr Beasley product is highly recommended for a paint primer / polisher. Using this EXO Gtechniq also for the ceramic but next time might use the light serum before hand also. Looks great.
