I still think that getting a good 2400W inverter and pumping 240v out of the steering wheel and grounded through the gear stick, after the alarm has been activated of course...!

that'll make sure they get a fking good jolt right through the heart! certainly wont be trying to steal another car anytime soon...

Gah.....can you imagine cleaning up the mess after? Car would smell like burnt flesh for quite a while! :P

why not just use an electric fence device instead packs a hell of a punch if you get one for big animals.

And you can get a good one that runs on two D size torch batteries, so only 3 volt supply, we have one and it kicks hard.

Just set it up and turn it on from the boot or something.

Actually I have a Braille battery isolator in the boot, this thing has a remote control, so point and press for on/off. So you could use something like that for the electric fence unit.

Mount in boot, run wires to front of car and attach to steering wheel/door handle/seat/gear knob etc, in boot hook power to unit through Braille isolator to battery, use remote to turn off and on.........uumm very doable. Need a 12v unit though, but a lot of them are, usually see them with a car battery hooked up and a solar panel out in the paddock somewhere.

Hey everyone. I saw these pricks as well!

Last week, my mate and I were taking out the rubbish at work when we saw these little sods pull up next to his car, had a look, then onto mine. We started to walk over, but surprize, surprize, they took off quick smart.

We are parked on a very busy road, so they have no problems being out in public.

Lucky for me I have a pager alarm, so if these little sods come back i will know.

BTW, the timing was amazing as i barely even drive my car during the week. Lucky me gets to take the Mrs car, a brand new XR5.

Lets hope they all get hit by a bus...

You'd definately need some way to turn it on/off at will, the number of times people working on my car have set the alarm off...well you wouldn't want to eletrocute them in the process!!

Hey everyone. I saw these pricks as well!

Was it the same car? White N14 Nissan Pulsar SSS? Loud exhaust?

Maybe it's not stolen then, if they're still driving it around... surely you wouldnt be dumb enough to drive a stolen car around for days and days :)

Pity we dont have a numberplate!

I'm not even going to mention what shops I do and dont go to... but lets just say I wont be going to Erindale anytime soon :D I would have thought that carpark would be alright given there's roads going around all of it (ie there's no "dark corner" type of thing).

No carpark is safe, we should all know and understand this. Considering my last skyline was flogged from the top floor of Tuggeranong Hyperdome, which is the staff/long stay carpark, which is behind a SECOND boomgate mid afternoon, while it was parked out in the open within clear site of mall entrances....

Good work mate, didnt happen to actually get the plates did ya? If it was the same guys, the shits clearly aren't too bothered that they've come close to being busted once already, maybe this stakeout isn't such a bad idea after all....at least to get their number plate when you chase the shits off

Didn't see any P plates on it. It's funny, i know the first thing you have to do in that situation is get the number plates but when i saw what was happening i sprinted for my car and there was not much thought involved. I seriously doubt that if that was their own car that they wouldn't at least have stolen plates on it, but if they are stupid enough to be driving around in their own car with their own plates then i hope like hell the idiots get caught.

Glad to hear that at least people are keeping their eyes out, you can't be too careful. I still have no idea whether they were already trolling the car park looking for cars to break into, or if perhaps they saw me on the road, followed me in and waited for me to leave.

    • The max they would go for me is 50.
    • That cannot have been a fun set of drilling. The stock "baffle" looks identical to rb26, I just cut fuel cell foam to fit the full length under the baffle.
    • I understand your sarcastic exasperation. But to be fair - the baffles do indeed fit OEM cam covers. They did omit to say that you need to do a bunch of stuff. But they do fit them.
    • Got started on the modification to make these splash plates fit over the long weekend. First the surprisingly time consuming task of swapping all the cam cap bolts to Tomei cam cap studs. I did the method of removing one bolt at a time, applying loctite to the stud, double nutting to torque as the manual described. Then carefully unlocking the nuts without disrupting the torque of the stud (and going back to re-torque a few times when it slipped). Finally applying the nut and torquing to spec. Repeat x28 Next up I went about removing the stock cam cover baffle so I could ensure it was fully clean after drilling for stud clearance.  As the blind rivets holding the baffle on were domed I used a punch to mark the center then used 4mm drill bit to carefully drill out the rivet without going too far part the baffle. As seen in other thread here is what is inside the stock baffles I decided on M4x6mm bolts to bolt the baffle plate back on with. I used a 3.3mm drill bit with some tape to mark the depth at ~8mm. Next was to tap the threads using a cheap bunnings kit M4x0.7. With the baffle removed I also drilled out the spot welds holding in the baffle plate oil returns. Unsure whether this was the best option or if I should have cut holes in the Hypertune splash plates to allow the oil drains to still function... time will tell. I then removed the the Hypertune splash plates so I could rest the cam cover on top and use a dab of grease to mark where the studs impacted the oem cam cover baffle. The most obvious spot was on the hump from the stock mesh is held. Using this hole as an anchor I bolted the oem baffle plate back into the cam cover and lined up the Hypertune splash plate. Marked the rest of the holes for the studs and drill those out too. Total 32 holes drilled and 12 threads tapped on the passenger side cam cover alone for this bolt on part that totally clears all OEM cam covers.. Drivers side next as well as some E85 safe fuel foam to fill the space behind the behind cam cover baffle plates. oh and some lock nuts for the splash plates of course.
