as it says what kind of alarm should i get for my r33 2 door

should i just go for the one with the most tacky name, like stinger/hornet/viper?

i want one with remote start and remote central locking,

they have some good "no name brand" ones on ebay for around $200-300 would it be shit and if so how much do these things cost to get installed?

p.s thanks for all your help on the issues with my car everything yas have said has helped me in my quest to customising my beast, from replacing a 50 cent fuse that saved me going to an auto elec to installing a new stereo for my car, CHEERS!

if you are thinking of that one - NO!

there are better ones that will do teh security job PROPERLY not ebay POS!!

autowatch is a start. fire me a PM if you want to know more.

An important thing to remember is that if your insurance policy specifies an australian standards certified immobiliser then make sure the one you buy one that meets the standard otherwise you will not be covered for theft (unless you have a separate A.S. immobiliser as well). Not all alarms; even locally sold ones meet the standards.

sweet as il go get one from a decent shop and ask if it will be cool with my insurance,

one more problem unrelated to this topic

I HAVE BLOWN 3 FUSES FOR STEREO AND CLOCK IN ABOUT 2 WEEKS!!? guy at jaycar said it might be the ground connection, where the hell is the ground connection? he also said it might be that i put it in the wrong way, i tried both ways and it still f**ked up.

for the love of god why cant my car just have no problems for a few weeks without me losing hair about it

and how are you blowing htem? high volume, bumps?

no idea i turn off the car replace the fuse drive off 2 mins later the clock/stereo turns off iv tried it without the stereo on and it does it anyway.

last night i went to a dodgy looking servo got another fuse, it worked and is still working.....until it blows i guess.

i got no idea

I have a Viper Alarm, It is awesome.

Got all the things you want. Remote start and central locking etc etc.

here i made this video of the remote start.

Yep, got all the things a car thief would love, remote start!

Basically, find the module, trigger the remote start and the theif doesnt have to hot wire the car.

If you want to make your car harder to steal REMOVE the remote start module.

Not to mention that remote start is also Illegal and WILL void your insurance.

This topic has been covered a few times before, but for some more information, please check this out.

leave the remote start off it .. IF you MUST have remote start (assuming its an auto) then the austowatch 288 will do it properly at $1k fitted.

if you want a decent alarm that the insuance company likes send me a pm and I'll sell you one.

Turn on your parker lights, and see if that will blow the fuse - If so, run the black wire coming out of the stereo to a proper earth (e.g. under a screw into the metal dash support.) Common problem for lots of cars with people not knowing what they are doing - or 240v elecs that think the green wire means earth.

When I bought my car, a mate recommended that I call Leon from www.securityinmotion.com.au He installed an Autowatch 446lri (read: South African, very paranoid) with built in turbo timer, shock sensor and remote boot release.

He is an absolute champion so go see him and get hooked up.

Cheers Christian.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
