How To Find A Stolen Car

[azzafreddy]

i have a friend that lives in maroochydore, qld and he's yellow 1993' rb25det was stolen a while ago, not sure if asking on here is any help but its worth a try, is there anything i can do to possibly track down the car? it was a professional job a few cars got done in his street the same night.

Three reasons to steal a car.

# Joy ride

# Sell for parts

# Re-birth

Only 1 of those usually results in getting the car back. Guess which one. The answer is no, you can't do sh*t and odds are if it was a 'professional job' then he won't be seeing his car ever again.

[azzafreddy]

yeah, cheers mate, thats what i thought but it was worth a try hes pretty cut up about it.

Get another nice car, lay and wait with a gun.

[Mandingo]

Or invest in a nice shed

or just make sure you have good insurance, that way you can at least get another car

[Kujotk]

insurance is high on imports, but really they are also one of the most stollen cars so full comp insurance FTW!!!!

+1 for insurance so long as it's 'Agreed Value' Comprehensive & all mods and updated rims noted.

Insurance companies tend to screw the policy holder if he/she only has 'Market Value'

insurance is always a good thing, there is also many way to stop it from happening in the first place, which is the best way i think.

[mad082]

if it was a professional job then they will take the car no matter what you do. haven't you seen gone in 60 seconds? LOL

[andyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy]

i had someone try and steal my car once but they weren't very good at it cos it was still there in the morning with nothing taken just a broken window lol

[MikeRWK]

lol musta been a kid or something, after working around cars for a while i realize they're really easy to steal.Not that i'd steal a car as i've always had my own so theres no need, i had a sunfire with PASSLOCK and installed an ignition from an older car that didnt have it but theres a way to bypass it with a resistor, well i had to use a multimeter first but when i put that on it did something to it and bypassed it lol.The theft light just flashed all the time after that.

[azzafreddy]

gone in 60 seconds, best movie in the world , my mate is pretty aware that theres a very little chance of getting it back, i told him id just ask and see what other people say incase there was like a special investigator or something we could go to, but if it's been used for parts or something like that it could be on 50 different r33's around the world lol. im pretty sure the most professional person could not steal my car right now, they would have a fulty immobiliser, most of the turbo side pulled appart, electrical wires unplugged everywhere under the hood, it has no oil or coolant & on ramps with the front spoiler removed, ha.

Very true.

If they really want the car they will get it no matter what security you have.

Thats right. Security systems only stop amatuers.

to have more of a chance of someone not stealing ya car try,

Parking next to kerb and turning the wheels fullock into the kerb till the steering lock pops.

If you park your car out the front of your house try park it under a street light

If you park you car out side your house and its a daily, work out how much fuel u need to get to work each day, say it be 15L, Put 15-20L of fuel in each morning, instead of filling up at the start of the week, that why the dicks will

have to get fuel once they take off in ya car, or they will run out near by your house.

Always have a kill switch, even no they are stupid easy to get past, have a ignition kill switch and a fuel pump kill switch put em in random spots, anything to slow them down abit,

Alarm well thats the same as the switch its goin to slow em down....

Steering lock, they easy to, but i still like to put one on.

Other people ive seen with those biggass yellow Wheel locks that rap around your rear wheel, a bitch to put on everynite, but hey... they work.

Flame me as much as u want, i still think doin all these things would make it harder for somone to steel your car, i dont care what anyone says.

[azzafreddy]

it took me and my dad 45 mins a really low car reailer & allot of sweat & tears to get my lowered skyline onto a car trainer not to mention i cracked the center muffler doing it, it also made a hell of a noise with chains and what not, im sure id hear it happen.

[bozodos]

think tow truck.

meh, club lock, alarm, immobiliser, even take the coil pack loom off or the coilpacks if you're that paranoid, if they still take it they are likely pros and have been sussing it out for a while.

I've heard of people having D shackles set into concrete floors so that chains can be put through the wheels (have seen pics of this done in a garage which housed a VL Group A lol).
