Fark... i've got the perfect guy for you...

Just cant remember the blokes name.... ill find out and get back to ya.

He did some work on the mrs car and was so dirt cheap i couldnt believe it.

Great work aswell

ROSSCO!!!!! Where are you!!!!

There are NO GOOD AUTO ELECTRICIANS when it comes to Car security and alarms.

A guy that rebuils alternators is not the best person to take your car to for this.

Take your car to a place that specialises in the brand/type of alarm you have and have it fixed correctly.

Remember, that device might be the only thing between your car and a thief one day so go it done right.

As for resonably priced, honestly when it comes to securing your car, spend a few extra dollars, it could be worth it one night.

Yeah I'll try and find what type it is tomorrow. It was on the car when i got it. Your right frx o26 not worth cutting corners. I took it somwhere and i should of given them the alarm key coz the battery went flat. In end the central locking doesnt work and the alarm is so quiet someone breaking in would laugh. So tomorrow gunna sus out exactly what happened and find out what type it is.

Im here mate.

The guys name is Wayne

He owns / Runs an Auto Elect business in Clayton.

Fair load of rubbish in that statement.

Let me explain my point of view.

1 - Auto Elecs do not do any type of alarm install training

2 - Auto Elecs do not understand security products as it is something they see on an ad hok basis

3 - Auto Elecs whilst being able to wire the alarm so it will work, install them in the most obvious places and make the security system virtually an easy steal for a thief.

My point of view comes from 11 years or so in the Car Audio and Security industry both here in Australia and oversea's. I can honestly say that i have never seen a good instal from an Auto Electrician, and while most will not admit they do not like doing alarms and sound systems, they do it anyway, to a very poor standard.

My comments were aimed at having the person's car secured. Surely you must agree that taking your vehicle to someone that is specially trained and is comfortable with installing alarms and security devices would be better than taking it to someone who only does an alarm "when they have to".

The other point that I would like to bring up is in relation to insurance.

In my current posistion I have had to provide insurance company's a report on stolen/ recovered cars before a payout is made to the owners. One of the point's that must be met for an insurance claim to be valid ( by the company's i consult to) is that the alarm be installed by a person that is certified in that brand. In cases where the instalation is substandard or the installer was not trained in that brand, the claim has been denied, meaning the owner receives nothing. ( but they saved a couple of bucks getting the alarm done)

So I repeat my original statement.

There are NO GOOD AUTO ELECTRICIANS when it comes to Car security and alarms.

Thanks purple I'll keep him in mind. I didnt want to sound tight, but i just wanted to find a good auto elec that charges normal rates.

Yeah, you really cant go past wayne then. Tell him ross the accountant reccommended him to you. He will laugh :P

Yeah i figured that when he replied, when you wrote Rossco i asumed it was me, coz there aint that many out there. Anyway thanks a lot guys. I'll tell him that, cheers. Frx026, what your saying is 100% right but my alarm is already installed just need to find out why the module isnt getting the remotes signal. (not battery) The auto elec should sus it out. If not hopefully tell me the brand, its not marked anywhere (for obvoise reasons i guees) and it looks like i have to prof read before i send lol

    • Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020
    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now. 
    • You sir, big win tonight. Precision never supplied compressor maps in the past and Idk when they started, but it seems they only offer for a few of the older gen2's which is exactly what I have. I punched in some numbers and seem to have gone with the wrong turbo. 600-700whp isn't in the most efficient area and is close to the choke line. 800whp is well off the map. Punching the numbers into a 68mm gen2 turbo map is bang on in the center. Here I was thinking going smaller would shift the power band down, but in reality it would just make it so much worst due to my rev limit. I would have never thought. 
    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣
