Brendan..... a nice CCTV setup does wonders...

if you also have a lockup garage... get a security pole put in the ground with a lock....put the pole in behind the car when u get home.....

Your car wont be going anywhere...

I believe an SAFC can be rigged to do the same...you just need the know how to make an easy adapter.........but then of course they would only need another SAFC.

1. Chain the diff to your garage floor.

2. Like the pole idea...just make sure the sercuity pole has a bolt cut defended.....usually have a cover over the lock and lock flange so they can't get the bolt cutter in to cut the lock.

3. multiple locks on garage door (my perference is to not let them near the car...becuase their going to trash it worse if they can get access but can't actually take it.)

4. Cage the car in....a seprate welded and wire cage for the car in teh garage (I know of this been done.)

5. Another suggestion....is have the car stored if its a weekend driver. Plenty of places ofter 24hour access and 24 hour security. I know when i'm going to get the Evo or GTR its going to be possibltly stored at one of these....especailly with carjacks at the garage these day...you drive you car in and out of security and out home in your daily driver.

plus its probably stored under their insurance if they get broken into :D

6. turn the wheels on full lock and run chains to keep it on full lock...that way it can't move forward and out of a garage.

Cool, I think my cas has an SAFC already in it. Have to wait tho to see. (realistically how many carjacking theiving mofos would have a spare SAFC and time to wire in, with them) And if you had a custom quick release plug/interface (no cloured wires) - It would make it more difficult.

What about one of those wheel cage thingys - like the ones they use when you are parked in a no parking area - to imobalise your car ??

I think also with the PowerFC's you can set a rev limit with the hand controller. therefore when you leave your car drop the rev limit to 500 or something and take the handcontroller. sweet as.

And with the Link you can set the fuel to zero. again won't start.

By By,,,,,He's cool,,,he just loves his Mum and his Skyline,,,,,Gotta Laugh,,,,the Rottie next door is scared shutless of him......

The Pole Idea sounds like a good idea,,,,I'll get one when we up-date.

    • So, I've been a little busy on this car. I replaced the bonnet struts which is always satisfying but very confusing that nobody else on the planet seems to do this. Its just my routine first thing I do on any car I buy. The boot struts for both the tailgate and the separately opening glass window was a bastard. And, I found a fair bit of rust in the strut cavity. I filled it with rust converter and cleaned up as much of the dirt as I could. There was so much dirt. One piece of the trim was barely hanging on and so I've left it off. I'll try to get a replacement. You can see how disgusting and dirty it all was in this thread; I had to remove the little clips that hold the struts on the ball. The ones I took off had no clips and it was impossible to get them on with them in place. Fingers crossed they stay put. So, I turned my attention to the headlights, they were in a bad way and likely would stop rego. I took the headlights out and found the adjusters were all just loose. So, I fixed those and unclipped the lenses to clean them up. Couldn't believe how easy it was to take all this apart compared to the E90.   I also cleaned up the stockies which was awesome, these are super cool with lug nut covers. They're in good nic but the tyres are shot. I was going to use these for rego but in the end got a fresh pair of rubber for the 17's on the front of the car instead. The front bar of this car is from a late(r) model one. I don't think it's quite LCI but who knows. I'll need to find out. Anyway, the bar was missing the fog lights and the wiring and plugs were for the original ones so I got new plugs and some cheap fogs. I wasn't sure if missing original equipment would hamper my blue slip attempts. Had a couple of these little fellas helping out. But not Ben who got stuck behind the pool heater .... How embarressment.  I ordered new speed sensors for all corners because I knew one was out. I just got cheapies and will replace them with Bosch items when I can find Bosch items. Again, this was just for rego. Alas, it seems the blue speed sensors are not the same as the grey ones. Back they went and replacements ordered. In the end, with my new scan tool, it was just rear left that was shot. Replaced it and cleared the codes. All good now. Lastly, my aux (thermo) fan is being a bit odd. Its powering up at strange times and NOT powering up when I think it should (100C). While this can be caused by a few things, the most likely (for me) is the ambient temp sensor. Given mine reads -40.0C regardless of the temp, I figured it would be good to replace it. In the end, the sensor wiring was abysmal with (terrible) attempts made by somebody to fix it.   I fixed this all up but the sensor is only attached using pins into the wires. The plug is not there. Despite trying and trying to connect it securely it wouldn't work so a replacement sensor and plug is on the way. Oh, I also ordered a replacement piece of trim for the part missing here at the bottom. Ordered from Latvia for $70 delivered. I took a bit of a leap of faith because I didn't have the exact part number and, as usual, there were eleventy billion pieces of trim that looked to fit. Nailed it. Well, its not totally perfect but I think its more a 28 y/o car problem than a trim problem. And, as of today ..... I have bought the workshop manuals 2nd hand off a guy in tassie. 1000+ pages of E39 goodness, hopefully it helps me with the fan. I also have a new temp switch on the way incase its the problem. Stoked.
    • I don't even know that you want an M2 Competition as a track car. My rule for a track car is only risk as much as you're willing to completely total out. Clean stock C5 Z06 Corvettes out here are cheap. Buying someone else's already ruined track car is even cheaper. Maybe I'm just not that good a driver but even a Fiesta ST on the Nordschleife felt like as much car as I could realistically handle.
    • I've already gone over the cam. A new one is going in. An old one is coming out! The new one is smaller, with less overlap. It has way more lift, but it will be more mild mannered (hopefully, probably very minorly) I'm also measuring for two more mufflers, with the goal of having four mufflers in my car. But that probably will be done by an exhaust shop in a drive in, measure, buy parts, install parts later kind of deal.
    • Mine is not even a GTR and I've been resisting the urge to make it a power monster for the last 25 years. And as a consequence, I have driven it to work nearly every day across that span of time.
    • Since the motor is out, I suggest pop in a nice dirty LS chop cam. MOAR of this please:
