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

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
