Guys, im sure all of you are well aware of the news in regards to all these skylines that have been getting stolen > Frankly its getting me a little paranoid even if i still do have full insurance....

I was reading in auto salon magazine a new security device called "Car smoke Security system" wanted to know what you think about this system and if anyone has it installed in there car, and is it a defect??????

I'm also looking to buy a clublock

looking for a good brand ????

Any feed back would be great!!

Lol guys, I think he was hoping for a serious reply.

I have a 3 point immobiliser but I think one of them in addition to a club lock should be plenty unless you're leaving the car in a place where theives would have the time to remove/replace a stearing wheel or tow it away.

I refuse to leave my car in vulnerable places.

Those new snap off steering wheel kits, any one know much about them???

It is, silly as it sounds a boss kit that you can snap off and take the wheel with you, thus making the car hard to steer for would be joyriders.

I saw them in speed last month I think.

one good thing rearly mentioned is a main power key. it goes inline to your starter from your battery (it is the same big red plastic key that you see on the race cars). you can fit this underbonnet and take it with you. Another thing I haven't seen in years is an actual fuel line lock - same idea as the red power key, but goes into the fuel line.

basically use as meany methods as you can :P

Coming from SA I can tell you that no matter what you put in your car they can steal it if they really want it. It's only going to deter them but if they want it it's gone.

Get a 9mm para, trunk monkey and a **** off big dog. That should help.

But seriously I know of guys that can steal cars with tracking units and still get away with them. If you drive it to an airport apparently all the radars around there block out the tracker. i know of other ways but I'm not gonna give anyone ideas.

In SA they test out all of this latest and greatest equipment and 99.9% of it will be stolen.

Thats BS at least for most tracking systems if not all.

so if you know them why dont you turn them in?

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
