hi everyone,

i almost had my car broken into today, someone attempted to break the lock but was distracted, by a mate who lives across the road. My mate said, there have been people looking into my car and walking around it everyday. I have a 3point imoboliser, but i feel tat is not enough, my r33 is my daily driver and i do not want to get a cheap run around car.

What does everyone suggest i do, so i can protect my car from further damage or even theft.

thanks for your input.

Hey mate, what area is this in? ie suburb? To protect your car, you can use visual deterents such as club locks... Alternatively, you can purchase a wheel lock mechanism which bolts around your wheel of the car....

Try park in the garage at home?? If you live with your parents which i assume you do, get them to park infront of your car and park it on the driveway

im not sure, i had nothing valuable showing, its probably casue, my car is there all the time, they know where to find it. Is there such thing as a bigger siren on the alarm so that it will scare them away when the warning beeps go off? What Does my 3point imoboliser do, i have never really cheked that out.

What's with all these attempted thefts in skylines all of a sudden? did all the carjackers have a get together and decide that they'd target our cars now?! ;)

I'm very paranoid about my car now even with the clublock and immobiliser

also, has anyone actually heard of or experienced their car gettin towed away?

Just another thing to be paranoid about! :)

there is one thing u can do. a guys did it in the rs liberty club that i was in before SAU...

When he put his alarm in he installed about 6 sirens all around the car. 2 in the bonnet, 3 inside the car and one in the boot of the car. The ones inside the car were placed 2 under the dash (drivers side) and one under the passangers seat.

this was about a $40k subi so the security had to be good. He left it at a train station one day and caught the train to work, or somewhere. When he got back his window was smashed and the door was unlocked. and one of the shop keepers told him that his alarm had been going off all day. Obvisally he went to the cops and told them what happened they said there wasnt much why could do.

2 days later he got a call from the police saying that there was a guys in hospital that they think broke into his car.

The guy who broke into his car went to hospital 2 days after breaking into his car. Because of the 2 sirens place under the dash on the drivers side, when he was trynig to hot-wire the car both his eardrums burst. If anyone has had their eardrums burst they will know how it feels, it ***n hurts...

So install more sirens. If u cant stop the ***ers deffen them.

P.S. sorry for all the spelling mistakes.

Mustn't have been a smart crook there apleX. You'd think he'd just cut the siren wires, break them off the dash and throw them out of the car before he started trying to hotwire it.

Er, no.

The whole point of putting screamer sirens under/behind the dash is that they are almost impossible to get to especially while going off. The idea is that unlike a siren mounted in the engine bay, you cant just snip the wires or rip off a siren when its mounted behind the dash completely out of reach. Furthermore the best idea is a screamer - try standing near one when its going off let alone being inside a car with it.

that is an idea, but any decent siren has a back-up battery housed within the siren casing so the wires are only for charging the battery and triggering the siren. once it's triggered you can cut all the wires you want it will still be going off.

I think I might also buy a couple of club locks, and modify one so it fits over the clutch, brake,and accelerator and locks them together.

I'm positive I saw something like this (an actual lock made to lock the clutch, brake, and accelerator together) for sale on the uas website years ago... I can't find it anymore though :cheers:

HA!

My old man did a similar thing a few years back cause he was sick of people breaking into his car at the train station just so they could drive it a street away from thier house at 4 in the morning.

It was costing him heaps because they kept breaking the club locks, or in one case bent the steering column because he put it between the wheel and the brake pedal.

Anyway, being an electrician, he figured out a way to wire a really loud tweeter up under the dash that would only sound if the power to the other alarm was cut. So basically, if you were good enough to stick your head under there to cut the wire for the siren in the engine bay, then you were gunna end up with one hell of a headache from the tweeter. :headspin:

Man, I tell ya though, I'm glad I live in quite ol' Newcastle with you lot suddenly getting every 'line in Sydney broken into.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
