Don't have a 240sx : \ but I am going to focus on security, some of the places I have to go are pretty shady neighborhoods, and I have heard of 3 stolen 240's in the last 2 months, a base model S14 and two S13 coupes

An alarm with an ignition/fuel kill and starter disable is probably the best we can do for a reasonable price. A Lo-jack costs more than the car.

An alarm that simply makes noise is a joke.

A "club" is a deterrent but it actually takes only about 5 seconds to hack through the steeringwheel since it is not solid metal.

A hidden kill switch can be very effective, but without an alarm or something making noise, you are inviting them to stay and search as long as they want for the switch.

A removable steeringwheel is worthless anytime you don't take it off. And how frequently will you take it with you to a ballgame, movie or mall? You only have to be lazy once to lose the car.

It wierd though cuz it only works the first time after i connect my battery. after that, it nevers goes off agian.

Plus it has power locks but i guess the motor is sticky and i have to push it like 5 times in order to open the door.

alarm should be easy to get rid of just pull the cover off under yoru dash search for the brain and unplug it. There are afew instance where the alarm may be spliced into the starter wire, so you'd just cut it out and solder the starter wire back together. If you guys need any help with pulling it out just email me.

I want the one that batman has. At the push of a button, the entinre car gets encased in bullet-proof steel plates.

Or a remote control that would drive the car to the olice station with the crooks inside.

Best I've seen though is a fuel cutoff after 2 minutes if a certain passwode is not entered on a numberpad.
