ive found having a really bright paint job helps too :thumbsup:

i'd look at buying something like a quicktrack alarm with a brant key code (you have to enter a code every time you start your car), make sure you get the latest one though as the older ones stuff up when your battery goes flat.

quicktrack charge around $1/day for their services. its definately worth it.

You may aswell make it hard for them while your at it... and it'll deter other would-be theives...

oh it's not hard for a "real theif", i do, however, agree with detering "would-be" thieves. but i'd probably just go with what your insurance want.... and watch were you park it etc...

its not about if he wants your car or not... its about wether or not he's willing to go through all of the work of disabling your 3 point immobilizer, then disabling your alarm, finding your kill switch then ripping out your ignition... most theives are theives for the fact that theyre too lazy to do anything else.. why would they want to go through all that trouble? they'll just move onto the next car.

this topic reminds me of an article in a WHEELS magazine someone told me about. it was about an alarm company that offered keys to a ferrari to the first person that could break into it with their alarm installed within a certain amount of time. the who's who if crims came and tried to get into it with no luck. then there was another guy who walked around the car, walked up to the front of it and started kicking really hard into the front bumper... he eventually kicked it hard enough for the airbags to come out and the doors to automatically unlock.

The easiest way to steal ANY car is with a tow truck. So make sure to park where other cars have no easy access to get to from the front or behind.

As for my car I got:

Mongoose alarm

3 point immobliser

Club lock

My brother bought a cheap SUpercheap auto alarm and then edited it himself... he fitted a house alarm speaker onto it and other neat stuff... now it sounds like a cop car lol

hehehehe thats why i got my alarm/immob--MANY MANY SENSORS... so that if my car is tilted, rocked, or if someone touches it etc my alarm goes ballistic---mine is very very sensitive...it even goes off if its too windy but i would prefer it going off then getting stolen!

Another neat feature mentioned previously is the removable Steering Wheel - an almost immediate a visble deterrent.

But yeah, immobiliser, alarm and kill switch as a minimum.

Oh and sticker that says

"This car protected by Smith & Wesson" ;-)

i recon a good imobalizer is far more important than a alarm, had my car broken into once and if it wasnt for the imobalizer my baby would have been history.

close- a WELL installed immobilser is better than an alarm. though an Immobilser with GSM paging is still a better idea.

With the price of alarm's these day's, you'd be stupid to not buy an alarm with at least a 2 point imobiliser.

true - it still comes down to the installation of it though. poorly fitted alarm - taken in a few minutes, well fitted its still there with a broken window.

      Yeah, hard to find and a pain in the ass to change with the transverse engine. I’ve worked on a GTiR before and it’s not a job I’d ever want to do again. theres a company in South Africa that makes RS3 gearbox adaptors for the AWD SR20 including gearbox mounts, so I could modernise it and go a dual clutch with paddles. For now tho, it ticks all the boxes. Super cheap, can throw the kids and their junk in the back, and SR20 that I can turbo cheaply, a CVT that’s not a dog’s breakfast like the V35, and has 80% interchangeable parts with stuff I can source from the wreckers cheaply…. But it’s still unique. I love the wagon back of the Autech version. It’s cheap enough that I can buy another stock manual FWD Primera with SR20VE, swap the gearbox to the N15 pulsar short gear ratio box, swap out the brakes to the R32 ones I pulled off my 32, register it on club plates and take it racing. $1300 shipping from NZ. Heaps of parts and aftermarket builders for transverse SR20’s in NZ.

      Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.
