Hi Guys,

My ride has been taken from me on Thursday 17th April, 2008 around the shire area. It is a White 1995 Skyline GTR with the rego plate BFC-39V. If anyone has any info it would be greatly appreciated. Any parts that are being sold in the area could be from my car.

good alarm sometimes is usually worthless.. if a crook does his research and knows what alarm you're using, then he/maybe she could BYO alarm module & remote, plug and play and drive off...

e.g. like Mongoose, very popular alarm, favoured by alot of imports but

M20, M60 M80 AU/G/XXX all use the same loom. Get the picture?

I used to have a M80 in my car, ripped it out, and wired up a yumcha alarm from eBay.. feel more safe like that.

Insurance is the only way to go, but at 3k per year... its not the most cost effective solution.

well if you get a theif looking at 2 cars. one with alarm, one without what do you think he will chose? there is no real need for thieves to 'research' your alarm because there are plenty of people out there with no alarm to keep them busy. sure if you have a really special car they may go to the effort of disabling your alarm to steal the car, but most will just move on to the next un-armed car. sure it wont stop any determined theif, but the main benefit of a decent alarm is it means you can get insurance. it may not seem cost effective but it's well worth it if your car is stolen. also you say $3000 a year? that is crazy, but even if that is the case if you took up that policy the premium would most likely halve the next year.

also, if a good alarm is so worthless why is it that every "my car got stolen" thread I can think of in the last year none of those cars had alarms? also personally I've had many cars and only even had one stolen, and it just had a basic factory fitted thing. all the others have had reasonable alarms. could be coincidence, but maybe not.

Hmmmm makes me a little skeptical now... I'm getting an M80 installed in my car tomorrow (my 21st today yay!!) for my birthday and from what was said about the looms it makes me wonder about why we bother "wasting" so much money on keeping our pride and joy away from theives with insurance, immobilisers, alarms etc. I hope these people get what's coming to them and learn to keep their hands to themselves, grow up and just leave someone else's sh!t alone

Sorry to hear mate must be heart breaking, imo car alarms are shit they have given me more trouble than they are worth. The best thing i can say is a red diode for the illusion of an alarm a fuel cut switch and car tracking (was a group buy on here) and the fuel cut has saved my mates car heaps of times (a vl commo) so if they cant find the switch it goes no where and if they do the hidden tracking will find it. Best of luck mate finding your car....

Having a good alarm will just slow down the process of the theft.

Eg) in a busy shopping center where cars still go missing. If there is no alarm, someone can just jump in, hot wire and drive off. With a good alarm, it will take him a lot longer to get it started and by that time hopefully walks past or see's whats happening. Also it might require to take the dash out etc.. so mroe time there

Well thats the theory anyway hahah

That's exactly right, if a crook wants your car, they will get it... by any means.. baseball bat, gun, wrench whatever...

Just an alarm will slow down the process.

and yeah, don't get a mongoose alarm, everyone has them!

I'm just telling everyone this to save their Nissans... too often I see people getting their cars stolen and it hurts...

The car was broken into and taken. Not sure if it was driven away or towed away. Either way the car is gone.

depending on where it was parked at the time,,,ask around to see if anyone seen any tilt tray trucks around the area. :)

hope you get it back dude.

      George's R33 GTST build

      By pogman · Posted

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments

      Ah yes but were you responsible? In the time I've had it (just before Christmas) I spun off the track twice and drove into things twice, so four separate incidents.. in two outings. Luckily I have a full OEM GTR front end to put on which is hopefully not a precursor for further, future, more expensive mistakes to come. It is some consolation that anyone who would want to buy my Altia bar would have to paint it anyway, the guards, too. (if they can get over the asymmetry). Hopefully over the weekend I will disassemble and see how badly things are bent. From what it looks like, the headlight has actually just been pushed back and bent the headlight support (which .. somehow... crushed the guard in). I guess the headlight plastic is strong stuff.
