Was browsing the internet for secuirty options for the Z due to the fact it is an easy steal stock. Heard and been through enough to know that.

Turns out that there is a lock picking and jimmy window kit made specifically for the Z32 and early nissans, the Z specifically is on the cover for 2 volumes of tutorials on how to get into cars. It used to be sold through dealers, but now is for sale online to anyone.

My point, if you do not have aftermarket security you are a pretty big target. If you ever see the twin turbo swap video that circles the internet, that car is shown one week after being stolen with a shaved key (not even with the complicated kit I mentioned above) the car was in a pursuit and hit a wall totaling the entire Z in Cali. The Z locks are cheap, bad, and the older they get the more worn they become.

Make sure your aftermarket secuirty system is not just shut off with the turn of a key like the OEM one. My Z has been saved a few times from my investment.

I have a lot of tips for securing the Z includingtilt sensors for wheel jackers and tow trucks from chop shopsinfrared dual motion sensor for inside and outter perimeter (nice with Ts)glass break sensorGPS tracking, which can be as low as 9.95 a month

if your system doesn't have all of this, it may not be up to the high standard needed. What price do you put on your Z?

My other car was recently ripped off for the second time, no word this time because it was towed off and I probably won't see it again
