Its worth paying $$ for a good install, your alarm is only as good as the install.

Cant help you out on installation in ballarat. Goodluck though!!

Hi undertoe,

Firstly, dont take your car to Rock, lock and Roll or Autobahn. They will wreck your car. I have seen to many jobs come out of their workshops over the years and had to redo from scratch many of them costing the customer ( you) more money.

I have had many dealings with one particular alarm installer in Ballarat, and although the company he works for may not be held in high regard, i can assure you that in my ten years in this industry he would have to be one of the best alarm installers I have seen.

The company is Strathfield, they are located in the bridge mall with an off site work shop.

The guy you actually want to work on your car is SIMON. The sales person to deal with is ANDREW, the store manager.

As said, Strathfield generally dont have the best rep for installs, and the Melbourne metro stores are very rough on cars. Don't bring your car to melbourne for an instal.

But, having said that, i know these guys in Ballarat and they are very good.

Store details.

Bridge Mall Ballarat

Andrew Huie - Manager

Simon Hatcher - Installer

I would also recommend that you look at the Black Widow BW10000. This is an insurance approved alarm with twin point immobiliser in the module, 1 external, black wiring, and is reliable as hell.

Please note that I do not work for either Strathfield or Black Widow. I have simply had dealings with these individuals for the last few years ( approx 4) and have found them and the black widow product to be excellent.

And when it comes to alarms, dont be tight, it is after all, the only thing between your pride and joy and a thief.

Good luck

as has been stated - dont skimp in getting it done properly. $50 install can (and will) be removed on 30sec or less. pay the money.

FRX026,

we need to have a chat :down:

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
