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 :)

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
