I know a lot of you guys would have alarms on your cars, but what extra steps do you take to try and prevent people from driving away with your car???? Like pulling something off the engine or installing a kill switch somewhere on the car. I have an alarm, imobaliser, club lock but still feel like i need something more....

I was away for 3 weeks recently and left my car parked unattended. I'm guessing you have a s2 r33 so dunno how this would work, i have a s1, with external ignitor so i took that off and put cling wrap over the plugs (to stop moisture getting in) - only 4 screws hold it in place. They cant drive the car off unless they have a replacement one handy hehe.... can still push/tow it tho if they are really enthusiastic.

The measures you have are all deterents and preventative measures...if they really want your car, they will get to it by hook or by crook if they can't start it they'll take it away on a flatbed.. One of the things I am very particular about is where I park. Choose your spots well and you should be fine. I'd drive around a carpark for half an hour if I have to jst to find the spot I want (close to shopping center entrances, where there are heaps of passers by etc...). And never park out on the road overnight if you can help it. Oh and hidden kill switch helps if you want to go that extra mile. :)

As all of the above are great ideas, most dont have good toilet training...

Trick is to make your car the least or less unattrative to steal.

So HIDE EVERYTHING. Cds, amps, anything and everything. Even loose change. Do not have anything visible, turbo timers etc as well. Steering wheel cover for a sports wheel. That will stop the smash and grab, or the 'this is easy to nick' people.

Park it where its hard to get. Multi level carpark for instance, no flat bed is getting in there is it. Park next to walls, means only one side of the car can get damaged by another car.

A good alarm also helps. Better yet, get your own wheel clamps. And put a parking ticket on the window. Whos going to steal that!

Alarm & Immobiliser

Kill Switch or 2

Park in visible spot

Park in between two concrete pilons or by a wall

Turn the wheels full lock if gone for a long time*

Steering Lock when exiting car; make it lock up

Club lock

Removable Steering Wheel

Chain in Wheel/s

* If they were to hit your car with a flat bed; the full lock would slow them down a bit (hopefully long enough for someone to realize what's going on)

direct wire to battery, and pull the extra 30v fuse...... no power to fuel pump = car wont start !

:wave:

edit: a local ezipark car park here in adelaidew had a car totally stripped clean late last year... was parked in an area the camera couldnt see.......................... they reckon it would have taken hrs to strip it. Doors, seats, wheels, electronics, etc etc etc

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!

      I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...

      Water leaking into the rear trunk

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.
