I am after a car alarm with basic features for around the $400 mark fitted. can someone recommend a place to get a decent alarm fitted, Most of the places I call are monkeys that don't even know the features of the alarms they sell.

Give Nick a call (Belconnen area, does work for JB HiFi)

0403 270 951.

He did my stereo in my Dark Blue R33 last week, quality work and he knows his stuff when it comes to alarms.

I mentioned the topic to him, he suggested that for the Skylines, you'd want a Mongoose M80 something, roughly ~600 installed.

BDL in Belconnen did mine, good price, very good install, the alarm combo and the central they put in it has always worked great.

I don't know the name of the fellow that installed it, but he was an american

i personally would go to newcastle pro sound :D I got my alarm installed there sooooooo much cheaper than any quote in canberra but then again even if you don't feel like going to newcastle get a price in canberra then ring them and ask them if they can beat it particually on mongoose systems... i will almost gaurantee they will beat it...

bahahaa ;)

get the one that slaps beau in the head and makes him throw up.. :)
Ive herd nothing but good things from them a little pricy though

According to Chris Rogers, BDL is talking out their ass about Noise in the Electrics..

BDL is the shop i went to (in belconnen).

i've had M80's in both my skyline and stagea, and also done all my own stereo install in both cars, ripped everything out and reinstalled. never had an issue with noise. might be your speakers are earthing on the door internals if they're wider speakers, as i did have this problem for a day until i fixed it.

BDL is the place to go for install, belco guys did a good job for me at the right price. you have to pay for service, not just the unit. you can pay joe blogs down the road to install it for a case of beer, but what's stopping him getting a copy of your frequency, making his own remote and yoinking your car one night with not a sound?

Yep:yoinking. It's a technical term amongst car theives;mainly those who answer to "Snake" and have a gig appearing on family cartoons...LOL!

Me,I had my alarm with many features fitted by AudioTech in Scollay Street in Tuggeranong-no hassles,good price,and awesome backup service for any dumb questions I asked! I think it's personal as to who someone considers good,bad or otherwise. Shop around,stick with brand names you've heard of,and go from there...

    • 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.
