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

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
