It can be done. Chris Rodgers from Audio Express ran a demonstration night recently (and has another one coming up soon, check the events section) and he managed to get a car started and moving in about 90 seconds while the alarm/imobiliser was active and he was talking to a mate on the phone. The quality of the instalation is what makes the most difference in how secure a car can be.

how they steal it with alarm/ immobiliser.......BASTARDS

VERY easily.

shame you are not in brissy - I could use a few more R34 bits :P

I have a club exec looking over his shoulder now after I hot wired his and tossed it into reverse. he wasnt expecting it either as he was talking to someone else and the look I am told it 'WTF just happened my car just moved and I'm not in it.'

if I was anyone else I would have taken a R32 GTR for a thrash and stripped the sh1t out of it on once I got bored..

fairly fresh rego on teh 33 as well by the look of it.

Hi fellas just thought I'd update you guys got a call from coomera CIB apparently they caught the f**kwit/f**kwits that stole my car. Though the car hasn't been recovered as he reckons it "broke down" on the highway and a mate picked him up..... They caught him for other stolen cars apparently and he just fessed up to stealing my car? Anyway that's one lessthief out there,although for how long?..... Ps well done to police my opinion of them has slightly improved...

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣

      I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia.

      Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.

      R33 fuel setup

      I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).

      As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
