This is really driving me paranoid , hearing about all these skylines

going missing in the west...

All you can do is have insurance & pray your car don't go missing...

And be Vigilant...

sorry for bein lazy n multi quoting but those are my exact thoughts.

neway, living n the west, off a half ass busy road, i gained a some skill, call it whatever, to keep my ears well operating while im snoozing..(thats just built up paranoia stacking ontop of each other) my ears get accustomed to certain tones of exhausts from other imports, including other holdens n such. i can tell 90% of the time if a certain ute or van/rb/turbo/import with exhaust/holdens w/5,5.7&6 / w/ or w/out xhaust&stractrs, if they're living around the area or just visiting. yeah i know.. its pure utter madness really.

more than ready for it when that slight confrontation ever occurs though. gunna take some bullets to drop this kid.

nuff jabber,

sorry to hear that brother, ill keep my eyes and ears out.

Alarm, alarm, alarm!!!

Boys we need to take a bit of responsibility ourselves as you do have to realise that our cars are highly attractive to lowlife peasant fu<kwits so you gotta put an alarm on it!

I'm even going so far as to put 2 GPS trackers in mine. 1 in the front, 1 in the back so if they're smart enough to find one hopefully they think that's it! You can get them off Ebay for about $100 for a really good one that has live tracking via computer or smart phone.

A $400 alarm (with immobilser) and $200 worth of GPS trackers are a small price to pay to protect our highly sought after cars IMO.

I'm so paranoid about mine that I even check to make sure no one's following me when I turn off the main road!

Then like Novus above I've got a 4 foot negotiator bar and massive Maglight just inside the door to beat the shit out of anyone that still thinks it's worth trying!

I'll keep an eye out too but don't like your chances.....

yeah my alarm goes off if someone looks at it strange, get a good install and decent alarm.

i put in a tilt sensor for like another $50 also in case they just try to tow truck it.

alarm is just a deterrent. If they really want it they'll take it, remember the GTR that got put on the flatbed at Airport West shopping center. I will keep an eye out on way to work from Hillside to city mate and when I'm out at water gardens etc.

This is making me sad, i always garage my skyline but i have no alarm fitted or anything fitted yet, i will be buying a gps tracker by the looks of it as too many nissans are being taken in the west :/ my first 2 skylines got stolen, my first skyline got recovered (dumped at a lake) and the theifs never got caught, the cops have an idea of who it is but can't 100% confirm. and my 2nd skyline have't heard anything.. got taken on the side of the street in front of my mates house, with blown clutch and had immobiliser..

because my skyline is in the garage my honda will have to stay outside... but who steals a honda..

I don't get why people don't have an alarm, decently installed... Stops all of this for less than $400!

If it's installed correctly rather than "generically", you have to put it on a flat bed to steal it basically. More than just a deterrent if done right

    • 15000? ish? Something like that anyway. It wasn;t so much a wear as a tear that then spread. Might have lasted a lot longer if not bothered by just one incident, whatever it was. I took a punt. They are really comfortable and do a good job of holding. My daughter HATED it when I first put them in, and probably still does now. She has sensory issues and hates the way they are all up your business. I'm 197cm and 95kg. Not fat or particularly wide, and the XL size seat is the rigth fit. If I was any fatter it would start to get too snug. Any skinnier and you'd possibly want the smaller width.
    • Mrs rs focus came factory with recaro cs  sportsters in it and they a pain in the ass to get in and out of with the really high bolsters, once you were in them they were one of the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in
    • The NA 2.5 has very little torque. You won't feel much. Those trannies are also a million years old now and it could well be f**ked. First generation electronically controlled autos will often refuse to kick down, ete, etc, depending on what's wrong with them.
    • Yes, but no but yes but no. Those "it's fine up to 500HP" rules and everything else like it were all determined back when the cars were 10 years old. As they are now 30 years old.....what do you reckon the chances of something shitting the bed are? I'd say they are much higher now than they used to be. You might be lucky. You might be unlucky. Spin the wheel and find out. Yeah, nah. It's actually exactly the opposite. Making boost early and having heaps of torque able to be generated right in the middle of the rev range will do more to damage an engine than having to rev it high to make the power. Think about the load on the conrods, bearings, etc, to make 400HP at 4000 rpm, vs 400 HP at 6500 rpm. So someone has already "let the Nissan out" which is how we describe the increased chance of a fiddled with engine to have had something done wrongly. Many more engines that have been opened die than stock ones do - even if you into consideration how they are treated wrt power levels and the like. Again, not saying that yours will definitely have been put back together by a moron. But the possibility does exist. It's still a lottery. Spin the wheel. What weakspots?
