How Often Are Skylines Stolen?

[NIS.26L]

my car has a EZI TRAK alarm which is far better than quik track, i disable the car with my mobile and i can turn the car off my self if i get car jacked, quick track wont do it unless they get the ok from the police and the police decide if its safe to do so,so the theif is doing over 60kmh bad luck, i can set my speed alert when my car is getting some thing do to it eg paint shop,mechenic,i can get exact gobal postioning all though my moblie,the car rings me when it detects the door being opened or if its getting towed ect etc.check them out there web site is www.ezitrak.com.au

Great idea, turn the car off at over 60kph. Kill the guy stealing your car, kill an innocent family and go to jail.

There is a reason quiktrack won't do it without the cops and thats because it is bloody dangerous.

Why do you say that ? If the car is still in gear ( it would be when moving) and you switch it off you still have vacium assistance for your brakes and you still have assistance on your steering ( don't forget the engine is still turning, its just not firing so it will came to a stop ). Unless the car is an auto you don't have any problem at all, different story with autos though.

I have that in my cars as well , I would't be without it.

The best security system I have seen is from (and correct me if I am wrong) Robocop where the seat electricutes the theif.

Fry fcuker!!

So if you had a choice to make, running the risk of your car being stolen or the freak 1000:1 posabliaty of the the guy killing himself you would let him go? and how are the cops going to make it safer to turn the car off we dont live in america were cops sent out a whole police station to surround the the guy stealing your car

I don't give a shit if the guy stealing the car dies.

It is the family that is driving on the other side of the road that he crashes into... Are you willing to risk the lives of possibly 5 people just to get your car back quicker? If you have a GPS monitoring system you are GOING to get it back... no point endangering the lives of others.

If you were directly involved in the deaths of kids parents, parents kids, boyfriends, sisters, girlfriends (directly as in you turn the car off, yes, that is directly) how would you feel? Once it has happened was it worth it? Was it worth getting your now smashed car back a little bit quicker?

Fair call i would feel realy sh*t and it would be a hard thing to deal with, i hope i dont have to make the decision,i guess i would try the cops for help, but i can get a status report before i turn the car off which tells me the current speed of the car.

[Midol]

It would also depend on which roads they were on (GPS will find that out) and the time of day. Since you own a GTR I'll assume it is a manual so the risks are lower for you

Guess I would possibly make the call without the police authorising it if I felt in the situation it was safe but I'd make sure I only did it if I thought it was a last resort (safety pending) or he was going to injure someone/damage the car...

where i am, the first year skylines were legal, 1/2 of them that came in were either broken into, vandalised or stolen and burnt. right now about 1/4 of them have something of those 3 happen to them throughout the year (mine had an attempted break-in and 2 vandalisms on all seperate occasions). so it gives me reason to protect it.

on my car i have:

1) window edge thingers... the plastic bits at the top so rain doesnt get in with a slightly open window. that stops a lot of attempted thefts because they can slide anything into the car.

2) 2 way pager alarm that's so sensitive, bird crap can set it off.

3) a switch that's wired up to my fuel pump... i flick the switch, the fuel pump can't operate. the switch is also hidden so only myself, my fiance and my mechanic know where it is

4) next year will bring in a removable steering wheel but for the past while has been "the club".

obsessive? yes. Justified? yes.
