If your really paranoid then get your self a tracking system, thats the only way to keep an eye on your car 24x7. A black wired alarm is a good idea, but they could tow the car away.

Having multiple sirens on the car is a top idea, spend the time to install them and put one outside the car. Make sure your alarm has a tilt sensor so if its on the back of a tow truck the alarms will be going postal!

Ur lucky, I'm from Brissy and was working in Parra for 3 months. parked at the corner of the Malsonic club almost everyday, thinking that it was safe cause it was off the main road (george street). One week before coming back to Brissy, I came back to the car to find the front-mount, boost controller (bleed value), air filter and blow-off valve gone. The alarm was triggered but no one cared, they didn't touched the inside of the car but managed to pop the bonnet and take what they wanted.

So f**ken pissed, had to pay for towing to Green Valley $150.00 and $1000 to replace everything.

Be very careful around that area!!!

Thankgod I'm back here

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.

hahaha..thats class..

ive been reading alot about getting black wires for alarms...how bout installing a whole bunch of fake wires to make taking it that much harder, theyll end up tracing some wires to a dead end ...thus spending more time in the car becoming deaf...

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Yuck. But it's kinda the same principle, moving timing around to make car run bad but sound good.... I went for a more spirited tuning drive to iron out a few things. Car no longer stalls, and it loved to dip RPM low when you clutch in. After tuning this (and the 4-5 tables that HPTuners/LS1 OEM ECU wants for idle air correction) it's now behaving somewhat normal. All expected because there's a new TB, new Intake manifold and that new TB which is 102mm vs 78... has an entirely different IAC passage which is smaller because ????? Unfortunately at this point I went to make further fine tuning changes to avoid it flaring up, you know... _tuning_ the HPTuners dongle died. Well to be more accurate - The USB cable died in a fashion that anyone who has ever charged a phone will recognize. After the app demanding I resync it 50 or so times (which all 'succeeded' but all failed) the device does not want to sync and I've logged a ticket with support to see if it's fixable. US Support said it was a 'storage issue' but after removing the SD card inside it and formatting it/fixing it the issue does persist. Unfortunately usually the fix is "Turn in your old dongle and pay $700 for the upgraded one" it's cheaper because I get some free licence credits I unfortunately don't need. However I'm 10 minutes down the road from HP Tuners AUS/VCM so at least I won't need to post it, and logged a new ticket for support over here. Definitely drives different. My SOTP dyno believes it's probably making 310-320kw instead of the 280 before.  It scrambles for traction a little now whereas it previously different. It drives like a bigger cam car up top even though the cam is smaller, likely due to the cam not being advanced 6 degrees. The timing is deliberately low and the fuel is very rich so who knows if this will improve on the dyno. It may, imperceptably. Also funny is removing the pineapples definitely makes the car squat more and axle tramp less. So this behavior of having more top end, squatting more, and scrabbling for traction more makes me think = more power. But I could have just been sitting on the threshold of that kind of behavior before. Time will tell if my butt dyno is calibrated right. I need the exhaust leaks fixed before dyno tune for obvious AFR related reasons - I repositioned the pipes but I'm not confident it's fully sealed even if it is better. At least the car does drive around while I cannot tweak/tune it for now. And I have aircon again. medium success!

      I need more than help to finish my R33

      Don't use that manifold. Please don't use that manifold. Sunk cost fallacy is not worth the later pain. None of these will be relevant to the change that will come from the different turbo and manifold. As in, the effect of the exhaust will be nil, regardless of what else is changed. And all the cam and fuel system stuff is not changing either way, so has no effect. The turbo and manifold (and to a small extent the wastegate)....big change.

      Just wanted to say thank you for your input   my man (lead mechanic by trade) and I have done a heap of work as you can imagine just to make the hot side work with the dump pipe, stupid massive intake on turbo, trying to get the waste gate on was not fun.  I’m kinda getting to the point where I don’t know if I try and make this work and not throw all this cash and time away or do I scrap the lot and start again? the Apexi I’ve got was tuned for a few slight differences:   Tomei pon cams (mine are stock neo) Turbo smart 38mm external waste gate (mines 45mm replumbed) with stainless screamer pipe  3inch turbo back exhaust with high flow cat Sard 800cc top feed injectors Sard adjustable fuel pressure reg

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.
