there is pretty much only 1 thing you need. insurance for an appropriate value. on top of that by all means have a decent alarm and immobiliser. anything else just takes up your time and effort. I don't want to live my life fcking around because people steal cars. If I want to go to the shopping centre, I will part wherever I want to park. if the car gets stolen sure it's sad, but you ring the police, then ring your insurer and wait for either the car or the cheque to turn up. and yes I have been hit by car theft, and yes it was insured and I got a full payout for pretty much exactly the value of the car.

Yes it sounds simple, but if happens twice or three times the payout from insurer will get harder to get and who would want to insure you after that anyway? :worship:

I think the point of shopping center carparks just stay away or use other car when going there you have to take some care where you park plus it's not that simple when you get attached to some hard work and mods being done to the car.

My 2 cents worth

Take out an agreed value insurance policy. Prepare to pay a higher premium but not by much.

exactly Kris! and I get your point donutdavid. I have a shitload of mods on my car. shitloads I tell you. easily counted in the 10s of thousands, but I list every mod on my policy, and I have agreed value. and when you are negotiating that value treat it as though you are selling the car. So I have to ask myself, is my payout amount a figure I would accept if I were selling the car today? if the answer is no then you need to negotiate a higher insured amount.

I'm not saying be reckless with how and where you park etc. but I refuse to let car stealing cock smokers dictate how I live my life. If I want to take the GTR down to the shops then I will. no point owning the GTR if I can't drive it when and where I want to.

ok,long story short $1835 a year full comprehensive $2600 excess

Just car gives back $10000 less excess.

3rd party fire and theft $686 (i just payed) after excess get back close to $7000

14days after the car goes missing,they start the paperwork for payment.

both on agreed insurnace value.

EDIT: the guy on the phone said back in 04" agreed value on my car was $5000

now its $10000.

Yeah, it doesn't work so well when you have fines that are 6 months over due because you don't know about them, you drive a modified import, and a friendly Highway patrol officer decides to run a random check while following you down the freeway.......

works well for me as the people at our old address send it to our current address

Or just buy a POS Audi or some other Euro trash taxi :ph34r:

*Awaits "At least my car runs on all cylinders" comeback ;)

what can i say mate.. you read my mind... that swift i had ran on 3 cyl, maybe we could transplant that motor into your nugget and you could have 6 again?

To anyone that wants a switch or screamer feel free to PM me, im already doing 2-3 this weekend, ill even invoice you + warrant it under my ABN :P

Buy a motorbike instead of a 31! cheap insurance + rego + running costs!

ANOTHER ONE:

You can unplug your crank angle sensor which is located behind your fans at the front of the motor. In doing this, even with the key, the car will only be able to crank but not kick over. When you want to start it up then just plug it back up. Perfect for when going on holidays or long term trips.

Cool another one I can go and unplug

The best lesson my dad ever taught me was if you can't afford to lose it you shouldn't use it :ermm:

Even the best protected car can be stolen (first hand experience speaking here) so if you don’t own it (or have spent too much on it) comprehensive insurance is a must.

      Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.

      Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.

      Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
