best way to keep ur 240 from being stolen?

[BDMs14]

Ok, what about car thieves that have toe trucks and flatbeds???

[DR NISSAN]

I'd take the ignitor chip with me

[thrax]

keep it stock looking
no visible stereo upgrades
no heavy tints which tells people you are hiding something
no rims that are worth more than your car
theft deterrent systems like a "club" to make it time consuming for thieves
park beside more expensive cars or cars that don't do the above, they'll take that one first

[ms!3]

you guys worry too much.

[Jonathan Rivera]

quick release..... with the hub lock.... cant put any steering wheel on it... if they want ur ride bad theyll just tow it....lol

if you pull your ecu very often you will disconnect the wires. they dont have strong connections.

[godrifttoday]

How about u just put ur car on jackstands everyday and with an alarm . Motion sensors. Kill switches ...

That's it right there, plus an alarm and wheel lock (placed on the front wheel). You live in NJ c'mon and btw 240's aren't under the radar here anymore.

[cumbewong]

quick release/lock
killswitches
pedal locks
basic LOUD ASS alarm

there are anti-tilt sensors that you can tie in with most 2-way alarms.

also something that people are doing is.

1. have an old phone that has 911 GPS capability
2. hardwire it to your cars power supply and HIDE the phone
3. if your car is stolen, as the police to trace the number
4. even if thieves disconnect the battery, u may have more hours of phone standby.

i've heard of people using multiple kill switches.... and toggle panel where by only a certain set of toggle positions will allow for ignition.

i wish i had the money to do all i listed above lmao

[SirSilvia]

THIS


that and I am soon to install a starter kill keypad. and before any of you go "hurr hurr that can be bypassed" stfu, If you're not an idiot you'll figure this is a good design and when wired properly, you won't be able to by pass it.

Enter code wrong 4x and it locks the car for 5mins, cannot try to start it again. even if you had a key. I think its 18750 codes available on my specific model, good luck. and with the lockout period, its going to take you about, at most 390.625 hours, or 16 days to go through all the codes.

"hurr hurr, you can snip the wires off the keypad and short them out" you think the company thought of this? plus if you do that, you're only hindering yourself further. the module (which should be wired properly away from the column and hidden amongst the stock wiring) If it doesn't receive the correct code, its not completing the circuit for you.


all and all, if someone wants it bad enough, they'll get it. sad truth

I hate to bump this thread, but someone was scoping out my 14 last night and now I'm super paranoid. I have an old blackberry that I still have in my car, it's deactivated, but any phone should be able to get tracked by 911 as long as it's turned on correct? Anyone have any extra info or links on doing something like this?

[stinky_180]

wont keep it from getting stolen but, this will help track your car if you have no idea where its at:

PocketFinder Family of Personal GPS Locators

my friend helped develop the software for this device.

Anti-theft measure = Sell your 240

[amdnivram]

That was the first thing that popped into my head when I read the thread title.

Fuckin' joke stealer.

[Unknown007]

I'm buying a Tiger soon.=D

You can always pull your engine out!!!

Also you can have you car have sensors so when a person tries to open or touchs the window the car turns on and idles then honks hahaha.........

A huge suggestion is if you tint your windows then it means you got stuff inside.Mine are untinted and you can see my roll bar and everything but if I was a thieve I'd go for the tinted window one.

Maybe depends but yeah just don't be so paranoid it's like when you baby the car then something happens.When you notice people scoping your car keep an eye out or report a car driving by your house frequently.Or put peanut butter under your door handle lol.

[RB24_S14]

I say the quick release steering wheel. Top it off with a Fuel cut and battery kill switch well hidden in your car. Or buy a pitbull and leave him in your car every night lol

Im going to find a GPS locator. Those damn alarms dont work when you need them! Those damn haters always like keying your car or something. im about to buy a survaillance camera.

[RYAN_S-14]

I used to have the ignition switched and an alarm with OEM led light on my JDM S-14.

I pulled down the panel below the steering wheel cut the start wire and ran a switch inside the cig lighter. I then reinstalled everything like it was factory wire loom and all. The alarm i had was basic with a back up battery all hidden like it was factory.

That was the key i think, factory apperience to confuse any prosepcted thiefs into not knowing WTF was stock or aftermarket.

[nismo_kouki]

Move to southern Indiana nothing gets stolen here.....

[jamg]

live on your own island

[fliprayzin240sx]

Alarm with a hidden back up battery and a 160 decibel siren hidden behind the dash and pointed at the driver. You break in, the alarm goes off, ill make sure youre ears will be bleeding before you decide to get out and give up.
