So, everyone knows that F & F 3 is coming out several more months, and i was wondering that more than likely, the demand for the S-Chassis (240sx 1989-1998 ) will be on the rise, and so will the crime rate.
I know our S13s and S14s window sill really sucks. It's easy to stick a cloth hanger wire down the glass window, and pop open the lock from the outside.
Is there anything that we 240 owners can do that will help to prevent our cars from being stolen? I know that people can install alarms, but it takes a few seconds to disconnect it from the battery.

 

no there is nothing you can do because 240's are easy to break into and hotwire lol.

 

my tae kwon do skills and keeping my car looking like a pile of shit discourages people from stealing it

 

I remember last year when me, Zilo, Boomer, and ArJay went to HotImportNights in Miami. Zilo told me that keeping my car locked up wont do much. Just bust out the window, hot wire it, and its gone. So Zilo suggested that i take the ignition fuse with me when i left the car in the parkinglot outside. Advance autoparts isnt opened 24 hrs. and buy the time they break into it, they find out that they need to break into another car to get the ignition fuse inorder to get mines.
Pop open the hood, and take the fuse out of the fuse box is alot of work everytime i leave the car. Theres got to be an easier way. Probably a "hidden" switch will work out.

^Yeah, but people wont know your skill unless you put a black belt around the head rest of your 240.

 

Yea, my friends S13 Convertible has a kill switch. The guy that had it before kept it parked for long periods of time, and being a drop top, it asn't all that hard to break into in te first place. A small switch is under the steering wheel. We didn't know thats what it was until he accidentely hit it with his leg, and we couldn't get the car to start. Oh what a night that was...

 

Is there some kind of universal kill switch kit that i can install on my 240?

 

Discount Auto. You have to make sure you can wire it yourself. Shouldn't be that hard. The one on his was just a small toggle switch wired to the ignition, fuses and all...

 

I got a momo wheel with a quick relese so when i get out i pop off my wheel and put it in my bag.

 

Airbags were installed in S14s for a safety reason. Some people like to keep their stock steering wheel.

So just disconnect the power switch from the starter, and relocated it into the cabin and connect it to a switch?
