I wanted to know what all you wonderful 4th gen mAxImA owners do on a DAILY basis to prevent THEFT !!!?? I want some more/different ideas. I personally have 2 clubs (brake club & classic steering wheel club) Pager alarm w/ Hella Air Horns, shock sensor, glass sensor, and starter cut off. I also have a fuel cut off in a remote area. Sometimes putting the clubs on is a pain in the butt, but i guess it's saving me a big future headache. Also, my baby is protected by a new state of the art security system !!!!! **see below** lol
Let me know what you guys use as a security method !!!






UNDER CONSTRUCTION !!

 

I take my starter and fuel pump fuse with me everywhere I go

 

you keep the dog locked in the car at all times

I lock my doors, set the alarm.
There is a write up on how to put the fuel pump fuse on a switch.

-Theft insurance will cover you better than anything else, its gets stolen you get a check for another one.

 

He probably shats all over ..

 

that would stop people from stealing the car

 

LoL. On a daily basis i park the car in the garage w/ the dog inside the garage but outside the car. lol.. The insurance will not cover everything, they will not cover your aftermarket parts unless you report them w/ receipts but your insurance will go up. Also, i know my car is in perfect shape so therefore i dont want to take a chance getting another mAx and im sure as hell not getting that slow @ss new generation mAx !!!

 

the unbreakable autolock, as if it even matters. all those alarms are BS. the real proffesional thifes are the owners of the tow truck companies. they tow your car and have all the time in the world to do anything.

 

do what i do, leave the windows done when i park

i have no airbags and shiet, so ppl already think someone just broke into my car

 

move away from jersey. ha, ha.

 

The club .........

 

My car came (used but I believe dealer installed) with that immobilizer key that you remove so the car won't start. I hardly ever use it....I figure, if they want it that badly, they'll take it regardless

 

The best security? Drive it. Its a lot harder for a theif to steal a moving car than a stopped one. LOL

Seriously, wire an ignition cut-off that kills the engine after 30 seconds of illegal driving. Nothing like the look on the thief's face when he finds out his getaway's gonna be on foot.

 

lol your car looks bone stock and you are worried more than any of us here !


please link me !

 

I think if I can't have it no one will. Explosive wired to a mercury trip switch attached to the tire.... lol

 

98MikeXimaSE... you have one of the nicest looking 4th gens ever...
I wanna touch it...
<.<
>.>

 

Actually, at one point my car had front and rear impact sensors, glass breakage sensor, interior and exterior microwave motion sensor, solonoide driven hood and rear trunk lock attach to aftermarket arm command. Worked well never had any problems. Oh and a starter kill wired in the engine bay(no jumping allowed). Sweeet

 

At one point my car had 0 miles, no cracks on the windshield .. now it has

 

If I went anywhere really bad I would pull the fuel pump fuse so they couldn't get the whole car. Haven't had to do that yet (hopefully ever).

It is true though, if a theif really wants something, and if they have the way/materials, they will.

 

Don't tint the windows, don't put on huge rims, don't put on loud exhausts, don't do anything that attracts too much attention. Be happy with a plain maxima. That's the best security.

 

You guys need one of these bad boys.

 

I removed most of my aftermarket parts and a majority of the alarm addons everything, for the most part it's bone stock... even put the original radio back in...

 

Paint it primer grey, pull off the side door moulding, put on 15" steel rims (painted black), and put a coat hanger in the attennae hole...

 

My first day on this forum!
A week ago today, my beautiful maxima was stolen. I had the CLUB on it, a lot of good that did me! and alarm activated. A few days ago, the car was recovered in Brooklyn. They broke the window, stole my lights (I have original stock lights, not HID), and get this - stole my leather interior. Yup, the power leather seats. On top of that, they replaced MY seats with cloth interior, included power seats, thank you very much. They took nothing else.

I would highly recommend you get as much security including engine cutoff type devices onto your cars as soon as possible. If they want your car, they will try to take it even if it has visible security.

Because it's a '96 but I only had 70K miles on it, the insurance is saying it's a total loss cause it will cost too much to repair. I know that my car was in superb condition and always super well maintained and would like to keep it. However, every body shop or mechanic I talk to says I should not.

My questions:-Anyone ever re-build their cars after stolen?
-Do you think it's worth it? Should I at least get the engine and trans checked out?
-Do you think the tow truck guys who picked up my car took some parts?
-If I have to buy a new car, what should I get????
-I will miss my car too much so am having a hard time letting it go. would love to hear what you all think I should do?

 

I have comprehensive coverage and I don't lose sleep at night.

 

I leave my car unlocked and windows down on the street. I accually wouldn't mind if someone took my car. Then they would have to deal with my tranny problem, not me.

 

thanks.... no touching allowed tho


guys what happend to link to write up of fuel pump fuse put on a switch?

 

Alittle piece of advise. if you park somewhere that it is unable to be lifted on the tow truck from the front of the car and you turn the steering wheel all the way toward the curb or wall, they cannot tow it as it will not go on the tow truck. Also, when they try to lift it the shock sensor will be triggered and my pager alarm will notify me. trust me, ive done alot of investigating
and alot of "catching people in the act of trying to steal my car".
Its not pretty when i catch em !!! Guys, if you love your car take care of it and protect it. if you dont care about it, #1 you shouldnt be apart of the org and also, i hope you find a car in your life that steals your heart.. lol..

 

get a wheel boot, put it on the back wheels.

 

Agreed...... some drunk spanish dude(not trying to be offensive) approached me at the car wash and started talking to me about how easy it is to steal maximas no matter what security is on the car exept for the wheel boot. he said he purchased three seperate wheel boots to PRACTICE on and he could not get it off, and even if he could it would take too long.

 

by the way current security....multi lock, 3 clubs (steering wheel plus the cover, the one for the clutch, and i have one on the gas), alarm, plus hood lock with kill switches all over the place. sigh, BK forever baby!

 

NICE !!! Someone's finally understanding what i have to go through

 

yo, when i hit bumps in the road it sounds like a freakin sword fight with all that security s**t in my trunk. but that's life in n.y. kid.

 

hahahaha, funny kill switch story. wake up in the morning. oh **** wheres dads car? run outside, its about 35 feet down the road with the door open i was like hahahaha someone's pissed. just do a kill switch. it makes it not worth the effort for the casual theif to take it

 

Thats true, i got the 2 clubs on the floor of the passenger side and on top of that, i have my agx's in the tightest setting.. MAD NOISE !!!

 

I just bought an '04 Max and it sure does feel faster than my previous '99 SE.

 

i'll be willing to give it to your max anyday !! Ive taken so many newer maximas in the tolls on th parkway !! THEY LOOK PRETTY BUT ARE SO MUCH HEAVIER !!

 

i think being a large black guy tends to keep people away from my car

 

where is this kill switch how-to

 

I saw it in the general section a month or so back, you'll need to search for it more than likely.

the best safety feature for my car

 

When was this? before or after the mods?
