Hi guys, I'm shopping for an upgrade to my alarm/immobiliser system from the one that was installed on my car when I bought it & would appreciate a few opinions of different places & systems people have had put in their car.

As far as places are concerned:

Strathfield is OUT, crap alarms & installation

Tonkins I'm doubtfull is much better & same goes for AutoBahn.

Complete Audio is only mediocre (Had my stereo system fitted there, not impressed)

I have also looked at:

Adelaide Pro Sound (Seems like a good installer)

autowatch systems

Tisonics (Not quite as sure about the install, but the product does look good)

Own brand

Ming (Don't seem too concerned about the customer)

steal stopper

Opinions for other places as well as these would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

i got my special alarm from interstate, then got a private guy here 2 install it. he was real good,knows all about them, and the alarm blew up so i went bk 2 him n he repaired it at no extra cost.

JOHN - 0405 702 292, tell him vange with the white line gave u his number. he should rem me.

he also would be able to tell u and get u the alarm u need or he suggests.

I second george @ adelaide pro sound. My alarm was a massive install... george, the team at aps made sure that everything was in working order, they spent the entire weekend on it and didn't charge an arm and a leg. Even got some interstate support in the form of chris rodger's the r34 specialist to finish off the remote start...

I've only got great words about george... tell them andy (that's me) sent you :D

I got a friend to install my alarm for me. very well installed. You have your choice of where to hide your alarm unit. Didn't spend a fortune.... or at least cheaper than Adelaide Pro Sound I should say ;). (can use the extra money to get other modules for alarm).

PM me if you are interested.

Thanks for the info so far guys.

Did like what I saw with george & his systems, biggest thing for me is as soon as you want to option up the autowatch system the dollars start stacking up big time.

Will look into the others too, but still keep him in mind.

I supplied my ebay car alarm to Graham West Workshops, and they called a bloke in. Was pretty cheap, think around $220 to wire up the full black-wired car alarm, the electronic boost controller and the Apexi SITC, oh and the direct wire feed to the new 040 fuel pump.

Ok, just a couple more comments on the systems I have seen:

The Tisonics one has a digital tilt sensor option for preventing wheel theft. It calibrates itself each time the car is armed to prevent false triggering. I very much like the idea of this feature to prevent anyone floggin my rims. Any other systems that have this feature would be of great interest.

George at Adelaide Prosound's greatest claim when I saw him the second time was that he's 'never had a car stolen or towed away'. Can anyone vouch for this? It's a big claim, but if he can set them up that good however well there has to be something going for him on the installation side of things.

Ok guys went to GT Autosound today & had a bit of a chat with the guys there, very professional from a sales perspective & they seem to really know what they're doing too.

The car's been booked in for surgery there next week. Thanks for your help everyone :O

I didn't actually get the name of the guy, but I'd say he was the boss. I ended up going for the autowatch system, I'd already seen it & liked it, so when he recommended it too I went for it.

He offered it at a good price & could do other parts in the job that appealed to me. Will let you know how it goes, but sounds good :O

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
