Guys,

I need an alarm with GSM SMS with both function and messages (ie: you can send commands to the car via SMS and get general messages from it - ie: "help, some dic just broke in to me" haha)

So far all i can work out is that this type of thing is really just a module/addon to an existing alarm? I am pretty dumb when it comes to this stuff.

In saying that - I need something that has an immob, alarm, door openers (no boot), GSM SMS + a remote control to stick on a keyring (stuff sending a text each time i need to open my door haha)

It would be going on a GSTS R33 2 door manual. There isnt a turbo timer and i dont plan on installing one.

Can someone give me any suggestions and prices (with install) or better still, a place around melb that contains workers who do not have their heads up their backsides - melb seems to contain most of these loons.

I live in Melb and please dont tell me to go to Autobarn - i got the reply of "What do you mean a GSM SMS capable alarm, there is no such thing" - god damn I hope he isnt right haha.

Cheers,

Steve.

Edit: While I am at it, will the below alarm do all that I need. Im assuming I will have to pay extra for it to be tapped into the cent' locking? and of corse, install.

From my researching most alarm installers will put a decent alarm with a decent gsm module. ie. Mongoose alarm with mongoose gsm sender. This setup would end up costing around $1000~.

With $1000~ id prefer the quiktrak, which is on special for $999 incl installation but a $400~ yearly monitoring fee has to be paid.

The only one i could find is the rhino gsm alarm floating around ebay. Although i cant find a reputable installer as most decent installers only stick to their alarms.

From researching about the rhino, it has a normal alarm keypad and can also be controlled via sms, if you lock your keys inside car etc.

If you get the rhino please keep us updated with it as i would like to see it :)

Cheers

other than the rhino ram they are separate modules. last one I did PROPERLY was $1500. QT would be a better option as they can shut the car down IF it goes missing where legally you cannot.

There is a module compatible with the Autowatch 456RLi

Alarm Cost = $600 installed

GSM Module = +another $700 installed and configured.

I think this allows for 2-way messages.

eg Module sends message if alarm is triggered

Module can receive message and wind windows down

rhino ram has 4 or so aux outputs to do w/e u want, also shares the password feature you speak of, what do you mean by *tamperd* with.

the CATE is an entirely separate unit so if you find the alarm you wont find it. in the case of the Rhino item find the unit pop the card out and its gone.

comes back to installation in reality.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
