it got stolen from a side st like 50m off norton st in leichart ... it was like in full view i dont know man :)

no i had just a shitty alarm...  

do any of u guys got ne good security tips i can take on .. even prices ?

Are you the person in one of the streets off Allen St in Leichhardt? If so, nice to see another Skyline owner in Leichhardt :)

LW.

quiktrack or brandt.

get yourself a good 3 point immobiliser and if you want to be abit more extravagant, get yourself onto a global tracking system such as quiktrack (however you spell it).

if they steal it after that, good luck to them. thats what insurance is for.

PLEASE your will help would be appreciated thanks :rofl:

Really glad to hear you got it back...but my only advice would be to not park near Norton Street if you can help it. :D

I once parked my Mum's car with my bike in the back, covered with a blanket. Came back ten minutes later and caught a little bastard pulling it out. I'm almost sorry I shouted from a distance, which gave him time to run...

Try a Brant or Autowatch alarm/immobiliser. Anything that insurance companies like...

Isn't even talking about these locations endangering your car further?

If i was a would be thief reading these forums (and I wouldn't even have to sign up to do so.. prankkk).. and I know your car is reguarly parked on xx street.

Just saying. Be careful what you say on here sometimes.

Predator, i agree with you trhere you can never be too careful. (maybe you should have to sign up to view the forums?). Anyway why not get a Boomerang Alaram System, it's got a pager thingy.

If you just want a 3 point immobiliser, forget Brant. They are over priced. You can pay about half as much for a similar 3 point immobiliser from Incar Options in Wetherill Park. If you want a 6 point immobiliser then you will probably have to get a Brant, but expect to pay around $1k for the privilege.

I don't think any thief is going to bother trying to get through even a 3 point immobiliser. If it's going to take more than 5 minutes to hotwire he will just tow it. If it's parked in a garage and the thief *knows* you're on holidays for a few days then even a 6 point one won't save the car.

Like the guys here said, get yourself a good alarm and immobiliser combo and try to park it off the street if possible.

I have also purchased a club lock for my car.... its another detterant that will probably make the car next to yours that doesnt have one look more appealing for a thief that wants to get the job done quickly. The company that manufactires them also usually has some kind of payment (5k I think) guarantee if your car gets stolen. Not bad for a 50 - 150 buck investment.

im surprised most of us here who are insured havent got atleast a 3 point immobiliser? i know that they wouldnt insure me unless i had quiktrack installed, another friend wouldnt insured if they didnt have a brant immobiliser installed.

jimx, what are the 6 points of immobilisation?

Franks, I have no idea. I rang up Brant and they quoted me around $800 for their 3 point one, and $1100 for their 6 point "Nemesis".

my mate recently got a Brant. He enquired about the Nemesis but the installer said that it's overpriced and using "old technology" - the paging system is a little iffy. If anything you'd get it because it is a 6 point immobiliser.

I'm trying to find a Mannix alarm installer as I'm told they're one of the leading alarms in the US.

good to hear you got your car back luck one dude, i had my car broken into about 2 years ago at my works car park i had the brant 3 pt imobalizer (needed it 4 shannons insurance) and it stopped the theives so i recon its pretty good i paid 700 od for it but this was with an alarm aswell i think it was just 450 for the imobalizer.

got a ignition barrel from a wreckers just off newbridge rd just before the bridge to liverpool $75 cant remember what there called or if they still exist,like someone previosly said youll find everthing at just jap. good luck with it

    • I know this thread is quite old, but I found it, it helped me, but I also wanted to add my experience and troubleshooting finds to the chat for others. I have not been able to open the rear hatch of my 97 Stagea for several months. Figured it had just really sealed itself up over the winter and I would just get to it eventually. Well that day was yesterday. Some time ago, I noticed my battery was going flat all the time. It was frustrating. Then one quiet night in the garage, I could hear and ever so slight humming / grinding noise coming from the back of the car. It was like a really quiet popping sound or something like sand in a very low speed blender. I took off the panels in the back and noticed the noise coming from the auto close motor, so I unplugged it and the noise stopped. And the auto close was disabled. Well, fast forward to yesterday, I tried all the tricks with power and fuse and lock and unlock and I still could open the damn hatch. So I took off the panels from the inside and found the auto lock had engaged and was stuck in close position. When plugging and unplugging the fuse, I could hear the relay clicking. So I plugged the autoclose motor back in, and the damn thing let go. And immediately started making that grinding sound again. This time, instead of just unplugging the motor, I pulled the fuse, thus depowering the relay entirely. I don't have the autoclose feature now, but at least I can open the boot and not have my battery being sucked dead all the time. Not sure what caused the motor to latch when it was unplugged from the system, but I am pretty sure it won't cause any more problems now.  If anyone has a lead on a new motor, please let me know. It's a cool feature that I would like to get back.  Hope this helps.
    • Lolololol maybe, man I hate this car. Lapsed judgement a respray and a new motor, when I should have just scrapped the lot when I had the chance. Farken.
    • So you reckon a few sweety something's whispered in her window and she'll behave for me? 😛
    • One of the first things i do when i buy a car is to change the in cabin filter, because no one ever does. There seems to be conflicting statements on the internet, does anyone know if a 97 r33 actually has one?
    • Thankyou! I'll add a pic of my Z for good measure! 😛
