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...

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
