My R33 had an attempted break in

[MR R33]

hi everyone,

i almost had my car broken into today, someone attempted to break the lock but was distracted, by a mate who lives across the road. My mate said, there have been people looking into my car and walking around it everyday. I have a 3point imoboliser, but i feel tat is not enough, my r33 is my daily driver and i do not want to get a cheap run around car.

What does everyone suggest i do, so i can protect my car from further damage or even theft.

thanks for your input.

well since u are obviously either there or someone is , get a big dog preferably a red nose pity and tie it up just around ur wheel.. that should scare most ppl.

Or u could try finding these lil turds doin this and do something about it .

Quicktrak it!

Hey mate, what area is this in? ie suburb? To protect your car, you can use visual deterents such as club locks... Alternatively, you can purchase a wheel lock mechanism which bolts around your wheel of the car....

Try park in the garage at home?? If you live with your parents which i assume you do, get them to park infront of your car and park it on the driveway

[MR R33]

what i am worried about, is that someone may pick it up on a truck and tow it, becasue they wont be able to by pass the alarm.

[silver gts-t]

also make sure nothing visible valuable is showing, or find a new parking spot. one where there's always people walking by.

i dont think they will tow it. if they wanted in like that, y would they break the lock and make u more cautious?

[MR R33]

im not sure, i had nothing valuable showing, its probably casue, my car is there all the time, they know where to find it. Is there such thing as a bigger siren on the alarm so that it will scare them away when the warning beeps go off? What Does my 3point imoboliser do, i have never really cheked that out.

[POOMBAH]

What's with all these attempted thefts in skylines all of a sudden? did all the carjackers have a get together and decide that they'd target our cars now?!

I'm very paranoid about my car now even with the clublock and immobiliser

also, has anyone actually heard of or experienced their car gettin towed away?

Just another thing to be paranoid about!

[silver gts-t]

prob ignition fuel and some thing else i cant remember.

is your alarm wiring black? if so there not going to be able to start it in minutes, may take them a while.

and if he was that skilled they would have opened you car at least already

[ApleX]

there is one thing u can do. a guys did it in the rs liberty club that i was in before SAU...

When he put his alarm in he installed about 6 sirens all around the car. 2 in the bonnet, 3 inside the car and one in the boot of the car. The ones inside the car were placed 2 under the dash (drivers side) and one under the passangers seat.

this was about a $40k subi so the security had to be good. He left it at a train station one day and caught the train to work, or somewhere. When he got back his window was smashed and the door was unlocked. and one of the shop keepers told him that his alarm had been going off all day. Obvisally he went to the cops and told them what happened they said there wasnt much why could do.

2 days later he got a call from the police saying that there was a guys in hospital that they think broke into his car.

The guy who broke into his car went to hospital 2 days after breaking into his car. Because of the 2 sirens place under the dash on the drivers side, when he was trynig to hot-wire the car both his eardrums burst. If anyone has had their eardrums burst they will know how it feels, it ***n hurts...

So install more sirens. If u cant stop the ***ers deffen them.

P.S. sorry for all the spelling mistakes.

sorry to hear dave.

I reckon the most important thing to do is stop parking there coz they obviously have their eye on it and will more than likely be back!

Mustn't have been a smart crook there apleX. You'd think he'd just cut the siren wires, break them off the dash and throw them out of the car before he started trying to hotwire it.

Er, no.

The whole point of putting screamer sirens under/behind the dash is that they are almost impossible to get to especially while going off. The idea is that unlike a siren mounted in the engine bay, you cant just snip the wires or rip off a siren when its mounted behind the dash completely out of reach. Furthermore the best idea is a screamer - try standing near one when its going off let alone being inside a car with it.

that is an idea, but any decent siren has a back-up battery housed within the siren casing so the wires are only for charging the battery and triggering the siren. once it's triggered you can cut all the wires you want it will still be going off.

im gonna get me 2 jaycar screamer sirens

[wilch]

I think I might also buy a couple of club locks, and modify one so it fits over the clutch, brake,and accelerator and locks them together.

I'm positive I saw something like this (an actual lock made to lock the clutch, brake, and accelerator together) for sale on the uas website years ago... I can't find it anymore though

[ApleX]

are sirens hard to install ?

HA!

My old man did a similar thing a few years back cause he was sick of people breaking into his car at the train station just so they could drive it a street away from thier house at 4 in the morning.

It was costing him heaps because they kept breaking the club locks, or in one case bent the steering column because he put it between the wheel and the brake pedal.

Anyway, being an electrician, he figured out a way to wire a really loud tweeter up under the dash that would only sound if the power to the other alarm was cut. So basically, if you were good enough to stick your head under there to cut the wire for the siren in the engine bay, then you were gunna end up with one hell of a headache from the tweeter. :headspin:

Man, I tell ya though, I'm glad I live in quite ol' Newcastle with you lot suddenly getting every 'line in Sydney broken into.
