Mongoose is crap had one already, gave me nothing but problems, had to get it taken back out and fitted an Autowatch alarm (456rli) with anti-hijacking and works brilliantly

really??

I have been a dealer for them for the past 3 years nd have had ZERO problems with them. yours sounds like an install problem as the units do not stuff up. ( also stop pushing autowatch, we already know its a good product.)

www.mongoose.com.au and look under dealers. or ring the hornsby office and ask.

Pretty sure both BDL at Fyshwick and Braddon Car stereo both do Mongoose stuff.

As for nothing ever going wrong with them, I had a Mongoose fitted less than 18 months and one of the remote keyfobs decided to "stick" on and kept randomly locking and unlocking the doors. Don't see how that one could be an "install problem".

I was also told that a turbo timer could be added to it later on. When I went back "later on" I was told that it couldn't be done but they would be happy to install a better system that could for like another $500+.

Not in the habit of bagging a business on here, PM me if you want to know where it was done.

Yup ^^ Total bullshit isnt it. I went back yesterday to get my turbo timer installed... its already wired, all they have to do is stuff around with the modual! Wanted $120 for it, what a rip off:) I'll deal with it myself for that price.

if you have a 60 or an 80 buit within the last two years it will take a time. in teh case of a 60 you need to fiddle with the module . the 80 needs option 13 turned on. remotes are a warranty item so if one stuffs up take it back to the dealer. what I meant buy zero problems was teh main unit.

JD33 ( shop would be nice- that way I can keep people clear of it.)

Guys, you walked into the trap yourself by saying "ill be back once i have a turbo timer". Make them put in writting that they'll do it for free when you come back. Its not rocket science, not all businesses are out there to soley serve the customer.

Yeah either BDL belconnen or fyshwich stock them.

Does anyone know if the sensitivity of the Mongoose alarms can be adjusted?

It goes off way too easy.

I swear if an ant farts within 10 feet of it, it would go off. Annoying as hell.

What type of sensors do you have on it? most of the sensors can be addjust with ease, a matter of turning a screw on the sensor.

I got a mongoose 60 series fitted roughly 12 months ago and no probs. Recently bought a

timer and rang the guy who fitted it to see if it can be done. He said no worries. Anyway spent

an hour on it as he had to remove the dash to connect all the functions that the Greddy timer

comes with. On the alarm module he just flicked a switch for the timer. He also upped the

sensativity by turning it with a small screw driver. So now when the car turns off about ten seconds

later beps once and all done. By the way he charged me $80 to fit the timer ( that was come to me ).

Also a friend with a R33 has the same one as does my dad, all fitted by the same guy. Alarm is normally

$300 supply and fit, but for the R33 was $350 as he had to fit a central locking motor to one door

so both would open with the pager. His details are Mode auto electrical. Peter Bevc 0418369634.

Cant say enough about this guy as he is polite does good work and the best thing of all, He comes

to you. :)

PS: sorry JD this guy is in Vic.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
