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.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      Coolant leak?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
