Something that has come to light during the recent week, R34's are currently being targeted by thieves.

I'd urge everyone to re-evaluate any alarm system their cars have and put in place any effective means of keeping the car secure.

You should all assume that your keys are available and have been copied, this is the general idea of what security measures are required in the future.

Good luck!!!

QLD specific in my case, but it still pays to be aware who could possibly have a copy of your keys and intimate details of your car, remember in everyones case, someone has had your car before you get hold of it.

I gota admit, I thought I was over protective of my car by a long way. Seems not. Its rarely out of my sight, or someone I knows site. Always locked, everything always covered. Parked away from other cars so they dont run in to it, open doors on to it, but not so far away that anyone can break in without been seen. I always put the factory steering lock on too. Seats back over amps. Rug over cds etc. Steering wheel cover just to cover up its a sports steering wheel. Anything to make my car just that little bit less attractive over the car next to it.

I think my mechanic is the only one who could steal my car. Trick is, he would do his arse if he did :thumbsup:

The Best Way to stop some one is put a good set of locks on your car.

I swear by these locks, I have had them on most of the cars that I have owned.

Click the lock to see the latest Solex Range of locks.

:lock:

all sets of the locks come with 4 keys 2 normal use one with a light in it & a emergency/master key, the master key is only for the 1 set of locks, each set of locks is different. Trust me I have had about 5 cars with them still on lol & ended up keeping the emergency key once or twice.

Well its really easy to code normal locks, hell I could do a standard lock with my eyes closed.

(another thing that could of been done is all the locks have a similar lock profile but vary enought to stop one secondary key being used on another lock, meaning the master Primary key will cover the whole 200 locks, I thinks thats right lol)

But the solex locks are another story all together.

Whats the key look like on the end????

lol thats why adrian the locks you must have at work drop a pin in the middle of the lock allowing the key to push the full set of code tags out of the way that the only way I can think it would work as for the normal ones there solid centers & there for single set coding :)

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again? 
    • I haven’t yet cut the chassis, maybe I switch to a reverse flow. I’ve got the Intercooler mounted as I already had it but not cut yet. Might have to speak to an engineer 
    • Yes that’s another issue, I always have a front mount, plus will be turbo plus intake will big hasstle. I’ve been told if it looks stock they’re fine with it by a couple others who have done it ahahaha.    I know @Kinkstaah said the stock gtt airbox is limiting but I might just have to do that to avoid a defect so it atleast looks legit. Or an enclosed pod so it’s hidden away and feed air from the snorkel and below Intercooler holes like kinstaah mentioned. Hmm what to do
