do any of you guys have any knowledge of how to install a fuel cutoff switch ( or something to that nature) or know of any websites that have tutorials? i want to protect my 91 240sx and cant afford a sweet car alarm so any info would be appreciated.

could pull the fuel pump fuse, or place a switch in line with the accessory power and/ or ignition wire (or for that matter, trace the fuel pump power line and place a switch on that).

Yea find the line that connects to the fuel pump. I know there has to be a way to run a switch with only runing one wire from the pump wire.

-----------I I----------fuel pump
I I not this
IswitchI

--------------------I-------------fuel pump
I
I This
switch

this would really save on the wiring.

is there away to have it so nothing turns on when you turn the key just opens a batter lock type thing then one has to manual hit the switchs to turn everything on.
is there a benefit to this?? power saving?? weight reduction??

Could tap the ground wire and run a new ground from wherever you mount the switch.

could hide a starter button that connects the starter signal wire from the key and have to press the button and turn the key....
