avoiding theft

[skyphun]

hey people's just moving into a skyline but i thought i'd go hard and well lets say finance is nearly through on the GTR r34.

If anyone has ideas on how to avoid theft i'd like to know I realise no one lives in a crimeless area, so what can i do to protect the new baby?

Some have mentioned sensor light etc I'm interested to know does anyone park thier gtr somewhere other than home? Best alarms? etc

Open to ideas

QuickTrack or similiar is about the best protection, as well as an alarm that meets AUS and International specs. Mongoose make about the only range in which every alarm meets those specs (3 stage immobilisation, all black wiring, internal relays only, etc) I think. Vipers upper spec stuff does, but not their cheap gear.

Mongoose are great, I recommend them. At work we sell heaps and they make quality anti-theft equipment. Not all that $$$ either.

Australian made as well!

mongoose are pretty good, but the alarms really....hmm..cheesy

ive thought about a battery switch hidden in a place where no one will find it..has anyone done that? does it work, or does it muck up electrics ect

[EvilElmo]

Disconnecting your battery will **** up your headunit wont it? Make you enter security codes etc?

Not 100% sure on this though.

ur ecu would be reset everytime... and if you got an aftermarket tuned, you wouldnt want to go get ur car tuned after everytime u park up

I saw this thing a guy got from jaycar. It was like a little remote sensor. You could put it anywhere. it came with a pager like thing which went off when motion was detected on the remote sensor. Kinda good if you can't see your GT-R because the sensor will notify you when there is movement that should't be there.

yeah i noticed that once...walked past a nice s15 and the blinkers flashed. gave me a bit of a fright too, but the alarm didnt go off...neat little system..

Internal horn. Best ever!

I have heard of people jigging the lock and lieing in the car until you disabled the alarm, alot of people just look at the car, if there is no-one around, turn it off then look at it for a few minutes in case someone returns. Then they sit up and shimmy the lock and away with your car.

Internal horn stops that, if its hella fkn loud in the car, he aint gonna lie in it.

[racsov500]

haha! thats a good idea!

[Dee 33]

earmuffs? earplugs? Damn it would need to be extremely loud to combat them...

dirty great chain and and locks, find the nearest telegraph pole and there you have it One on the best things I saw was a fuel lock off - physical tap that could be locked off with a special key.

Only problem is the old tilt tray truck....

I dont think I'd ever trust my cars wellbeing to something as simple as a single switch for the battery (not to mention the electronic parts that will shat having no constant power feed to maintain settings)....

3 stage immobilisation is much better, especially when coupled with QuickTrack or similiar in case they use a tilt tray. Internal siren is a good idea, but I've yet to see one that is loud enough to actually stop you fiddling in there. I've been in a car with apparently "THE LOUDEST LEGALLY AVAILABLE SIREN!!!" advertised on the packet... I was in there long enough to pinch it. I would have disconnected the siren too, cept the owner was next to me and I doubt he would have appreciated me doing that

Get an ultrasonic sensor if you want the coolness of a warning chirp when someone goes near the car. It has 2 fields, an interior and exterior field. If someone triggers the exterior field it chirps and alarm, but if they trigger the interior field the alarm goes off.

And get a pager too, so if you are out of hearing distance of the alarm you still get a notification.

internal kill switch hooked up to ignition coil distribotor etc
