hey guys i need some advice

well ive been working my ass off and have enough to get a decent alarm. I have about $300-$400 budget i think, and i want a pager alarm with the works.

i was considering the paging alarm systems at jb-hifi but my friend said that those are shit and they don't function properly. My other friend suggested Autobahn pager alarms and i'm interested in them but don't know where i can get them in melbourne.

can anyone suggest other good car alarms with a pager system and maybe an immoboliser or some kind of engine immobolisation? and where i can get it installed. my friend suggested JR in box hill to do installation. he got his done for $50 and it took 3 hours.

Currently I have an alarm on my skyline but its a dodgy japanese one that only senses the doors being openned. (guess they dun need fully functioned alarms in japan cos crime there is so low)

but yeah anyway a 10yo kid could prolli steal my car right now, thats why i'm paranoid about my car. I want to spend my money on alarm first before i do anything about mods cos no point modding if it all gets stolen.

appreciate the help

SKY33 - how does dual stage shock work?

There are 2 adjustments. One to set off the warning tone and one to set off the real alarm. So u set the warning tone to really sensitive so just even a slight bump (or even a really cool dude with his drift wing kitted lancer and massive exhaust pumpin a whole 60Kw) to ur car a 3 beep warning tone will sound. Then u set the real alarm to go off at a more major impact.

Not many car alarms have dual stage shock. Id say it be a worthy investment! I had it on my skyline but thats gone now :). In time ill have a new 'line.

hey chop...if someone wants to take your car, and they know their shiznitz...they will get it...an alarm is a deterent. just make sure it has imobilizer and good sensors on/in it

the most problem you get is people trying to take your stuff out of the car, and not the car itself...keep that in mind(imo)

my advice...shop around

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
