Stolen Indicators

Hi there everyone

Im relatively new to this site and find it difficult to find info and navigate this site so i hope i am not doubling up on a topic already discussed or posting in the wrong area.

I recently purchased and installed some Nisimo clear indicators for my R33 GTS-T skyline and since a few hours ago the only thing that remains is the empty box and wires hanging out of my chasis ;)

Just wondering is this a common thing? Has anyone come up with a solution to make the indicators more difficult to remove (silicone them in/alarm sensor attached?)

I guess what i am asking is it worth upgrading exterior/interior components on your car when bit go "missing" from your driveway in broad daylight? I have been looking into getting new stereo etc... but after this i have to wonder if its worth it. I had an alarm fitted with 3 point immobiliser as soon as i purchased the vehicle, recently tinted the windows and wondering where to go from here since it is so easy for some idiot to damage/take what isnt theirs :P

Would appreciate some feedback,

Sam

I had to same bloody problem! After finally figuring how to remove the stock indicators and putting in the new Nismo ones... damn it, some fag stole my new indicators...

So anyways, just put another pack - and here's one possible way of preventing ttheft.... place some bluetak on the sides in the inside...when putting them in, be sure to push a little... now, it actually is much more steadier and harder to remove...good luck.

If no ones mentioned it:

Did they get stolen from your home, and did you get them delivered there?

If so, consider checking the seller. Not casting aspersions on the person/ company, but it'd be worth checking out.

Hi there thanks for the responses.

As for the question relating to the items being sent yes they were and the car was at home..... although we had some seedy character roaming around selling "car maintenance" servicing that was annoyed at my Dad for not wanting to take him up on the offer.... so who knows :)

As for taping in one side im not sure how you can get access behind the indicators to do that. I think i might give the blue tac a try and see how difficult it is and if its still 2 easy silicone them in coz i figure if some mug steals them from my house if im out anywhere the probablity is much higher and more likely.

Anyway thanks again for the feedback and sorry for the late response..... put modifying my car on hold for a while after the dissapointment of having some tard disrespect my car like that

    • Hi fellow SAU members, I want to put coupe tail lights on my R32 sedan. I have been told it was as easy as changing the boot lid and the tail lights and possibly the rear bar. I have since found out that this is incorrect after buying the lights and boot. The coupe boot dosnt allow the boot to oprn on a sedan and the tail lights won't fit either. Has anyone done this or seen it done and could help me out with some guidance or instructions to get it done.
    • Noice one 👍 I've done a 1:16.300 at Watkins Glen, will keep at it. Still have to knock off half a second at Suzuka in the Roadster
    • Two golds! Struggled to get silver on Gran Valley.
    • Interesting that it has 2 to the USB stick. Are the ones to the USB stick different? Or labelled anything at all? Telstra 4G is Band 28 is the long range one you want, it's 700mHz. I'm trying to do some reading on the Cel-Fi stuff, but I can't find any decent info online that makes me feel comfortable being able to work out the sort of antennas we could get away to swapping it over to. The antennas I'm starting to do some stuff with at work, are a transparent antenna. They're designed to stick onto the window. Which means you wouldn't even have the antenna outside the car. Volkswagen have just started using the exact same types of antennas on some of their new cars (And from the same antenna manufacturer). But, RF stuff is a bit of a dark art some days, and getting it wrong in your car could make for a terrible waste of money trying to swap antennas :S
    • I'm not going to lie Duncan, Saturday and Sunday were pretty rough days. The sort of work I was doing would previously have ended up with me spending about an hour and a half chatting with Neil. Firstly about something I had a question about, and then both of us rambling off on tangents.  I think how Neil did things, and his attitude to getting it done is helping me in part to get this stuff done. Then I can actually do the things I enjoy more easily
