$2500 of modifications?????

[WazR32GTSt]

tint is for looks mate...i was trying to say don't worry about performance mode just yet. get your car smelling like a shag (bacause you just shagged some nice cuttie in it!) and then later on go faster. the chicks don't care how fast it goes.

on the alarm subject...i dunno mine is only 2-point immobilizer so i can't really talk about 7-point!

[bryanlee38]

i dunno, some people say 2 points systems will do, what do 7 point systems do, one cost a mere $200 the other over a $1000 .... worth spending the money i agree so ur car doesnt get flogged, but yeah .... Wat do u think ?

[WazR32GTSt]

i paid 300 fitted from hi-f supermarket its a zylux (same as code apparently but no name attached)

it has sound sensor so goes off it you hit/break the windows. alarm attached to boot/bonnet/doors

has back-up battery so if you etach the car battery then it will go off and you need the key to turn it off.

also remote central attached to that.

that was suffiient for me, but i'm not too paranoid as i don't have $2k work of goodies inside. if i get broken into i will break the arms and legs of everyone within a 1km radius - that's my fix for any problems!

[bryanlee38]

yeah! violence is absolutely the way to go!. lol. soooo tru. yeah $300 that sounds alright. Well I think there's way way sufficent, but I'm keen on that microwave detection thingy, where u get a blinker even when someone touches ur car. The minute i see the blinker go off .... I'll be there with my baseball bat ready to swing... hehehehhehe .... sounds good dude. but those generic brand alarm system reliable?

[WazR32GTSt]

well its actually made by code which is a v.good brand but its their second brand that they make so its the same electronices apparently but different gizmo's (ie doesn't have the fancy sh1t that code stuff has). This one actually gives a warning beep if you lift the handle or hit the car - it has a shock sensor and you can get them to make it as sensitive as you want. i made it so that if i'm parked and someone with a 5" exhaust hoons part the alarm doesn't go off, but if there is soneone who hits the car with a trolley or tries to key the car then it goez bezzerk! sufficient for a student who is lacking $$$ and needs something.

if you have hi-fi supermarket up there in brizzie then check them out and wait for a sale (i did - got $150 off inc installation!). i don't think the car needs to turn into a robot and rape the would-be robber just because they were 5m away and had an indecent thought about stealing the car. there's got to be a limit.

[bryanlee38]

yeah true tru .... nice. that wat i want. I wanna know if someone touches my car .... for the obviously wrong reason. I never knew u could change the sensitivity of it. I hate cars where alarms go off when ppl just accidentally tap it. BUt i presume if someone touched ur skyline, u wouldnt be too happy. no one would be lol. I"M A PARNOID ONE .... lol cool thanks for the advice, dont think we do have hi-fi supermarket, we have JB-HI FI.... they r pretty large too. THe sercurity u said u have is 2 point? .... i thought it 2 point was less sophisticated then that???

[WazR32GTSt]

2 point is just the immobilizer which is one component of the alarm. you may even be able to upgrade that part of it...i dunno.

jb hi fi is a bit more expensive than hi-fi and i don't think they stock many cheaper items - only those over 500 or those that are that sh1t that you don't want it.

[bryanlee38]

tru, kool. thanks for the info

A guy I work with put a $2500 alarm in a celica. Theives used a truck to steal the car. He got it back 2 days later, only thing missing was the alarm- only thing of value in the car! Don't spend all your money on an alarm!

[akeenan]

just buy a decent alarm eg: maybe minumum 3 point imob, one with shock sensors and alarm on all openings/breakages etc. I still use my club lock even though i have a pretty decent alarm. Remember if a thief really wants your car and they know what they are doing these little things like alarms and club locks only act as a deterant. Hopefully they will steal the car next to you or steal your neighbours car instead.

the seven point car alarm that KamikazeR33 is refering to is really a six point, i don't think he can count??? (it's cool i work with him), it's the Brant Nemesis model car alarm, it's worth $1098 installed or so i hope on Monday when it get's installed on my monster :-)

It features:

Remote codehopping operation + BRANTS famous PIN code entry system

Six (6) engine immobilisers

Dual siren system (one self powered siren outside – one inside)

Ultrasonic movement detectors + 2 stage impact shock sensors

Keyless entry

Electric window operation (option)

Remote panic

Passive immobilisation

Auto rearm in case of accidental switch off

False alarm lockout

Detects intrusion via doors, boot/hatch, bonnet, windows, sunroof + immobilises the engine in 6 places.

And much more…

then there's all the options u can put on if u got the $$$, pager system etc....

hope this helps

Just order the parts from jaycar (that's all they use) and install it yourself to save a lot of money..

[bryanlee38]

tru, i personally dont think a 7 point immobiliser is necessary - turning my skyline into a robot prison, however the thought of losing it is like ...... erh invest the 1k and then everything SHOULD be alrite. but yeah me no insurance too

[KamikazeR33]

just remember that it has a pad to put ur pin into b4 u start the car....

ive heard of stories where ppl break into houses while ppl r asleep, take their keys and drive away.... now wif a pad that u gotta put ya pin into... they wont get very far drivin it unless they know the code

btw adrian u told me it was 7 point

anyways 6 is still good enough

[akeenan]

however if they really want the car they could use violence of some sort and try and get the code out of you. however what if what if....you know what i mean?

[KamikazeR33]

yeah

but the only thing that comes into play for me is "peace of mind" so i can leave my car just bout anywhere and its not gonna get taken unless a truck takes her away

[rev210]

take out the ignition fuse

[Guest Boxhead]

any good theif would carry i set of fuses with him, and do the research on the particular car they want to steal if there serious about it

[DREMEN]

I would go.....

- Bleed valve (

- And the rest on alarm (7 point)
