An old computer technician told me what he used to do in Melbourne to stop theft.

Only if your car is auto.

Using the wire that prevents you to start your car in reverse. set a key activated switch up to it in series to all other gears.

So you turn the key when you leave your car and take the key with you.

Obviously hide it in a good hiding place.

And yeah car won't start.

Nifty old trick.

32GT-R, Gunmetal Grey

XEF500, stolen early march, from the street out where i live. Tow job, i didn't even hear the alarm, or exhaust note. I did also find the wheels off me car, police wouldn't do shit. And what can one asian guy do right?

I'll dig up the vin number if anyone's interested.

I just started a topic in the qld section for this, heres some basic info from my thread.

Ok so basic rundown list for anti theft should go...

  • Full comp insurance
  • 3 point immobiliser/alarm
  • Steering wheel club lock
  • GPS tracker

I'm pretty sure your insurance premium should be down aswell with a decent alarm/ immobiliser setup. Not sure about the other deterrents.

Budget method:

  • Killswitches
  • Remove ecu upon exiting
  • Remove steering wheel ditto

I reckon everyone should have a gps tracker though, if they decide to use a truck to 'pick up'

add this to budget methods

sounds nifty.

Also if you have a Pfc you can adjust your rev limit to 200, then remove the hand controller when you leave.

I remember hearing somewhere that if you have a good system some insurance mobs will lower your premium.... I'd imagine its one of those things you'd have to bully them about though.

Justcar require you have an adr approved alarm system.

    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.
    • Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.
    • Ok so no 4cyl clutch... Yeah it is a factory manual. So if iam correct i need clutch and flywheel too? I can use something that suits something like R32 GTST?   EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224291042776 Is this ok?   EDIT2: i maybe forget to mention this(dk how important it is) but the trans will be behind RB25DET NEO(iam doing swap) It will be there for a little while. Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..
    • You're probably right about that one. Thanks for your suggestions, I hope I don't need a new 3rd brake light. Although wiring issues might arguably be worse. Right now I'm in the midst of a turbo removal because of my oil leak, other problems are going to have to wait for now.
    • Hell, I know that much. So far I just put it off as "part of the deal".
