What theft countermeasures are?

Mr. Abe purchased and installed the GT2530 twin turbo kit from the many HKS full turbine kits that use such turbines. The engine itself was also tuned along with the turbine replacement. Without making any major changes, the N1 engine was used as the base for the head tuning and upgraded to a high camshaft to increase power through higher efficiency.

More than 27 years have already passed since this tuning was carried out. During that time, the engine has experienced engine blowouts and has been taken care of by the tuning shop on each occasion. He has asked HKS Technical Factory to take care of his car as a reliable doctor who will continue to look after it.

Also, the number of thefts of R32 GT-Rs has been increasing recently, and when we asked Mr. Abe if he was doing anything about it, he told us the following story.

“I install tire locks and steering locks to buy time in case of theft. I also have COCO-SECOM installed. Recently, it seems to be particularly important to be able to use GPS to track the vehicle if it is stolen. This is because, thanks to the widespread use of anti-theft GPS systems, it seems that in many cases, robbers do not take stolen goods directly to their hideouts, but leave them in a nearby parking lot and see if they come back for them. So, even if they do steal it, it is often possible to track them down and rescue them with GPS in the meantime.”

As for plans;

“As for future plans, I’m basically maintaining the status quo, but as I’m approaching retirement, I’m thinking of finishing up with a crunchy tuned GT-R with a big single turbine specification, which I’ve always wanted to do.”

He knows that there is no place on the street where he can step on the gas pedal as hard as he can, but he would like to experience the acceleration that only a tuned car can provide again. Owners who were into tuning in the past may return to the highest speed tuning and awaken to the fastest driving experience.
