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

    • Did and sync timing with light 
    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.
