As per title guys, I have an M80G Mongoose alarm. I was wondering how far away the remote will/should work. Without anything in the way - direct line of sight. Some mornings it works from like 20 metres away, other times its like 2 metres.

Im going to change the battery, but just wanted to confirm.

Cheers,

Dan :)

battery time. 100m is typical providing you are NOT near any inteference (IE TV towers.)

Thanks Chris, i thought it must be about battery time!

When I replace the battery can I just swap it straight over, I dont have to re-program the remote do i?

Cheers,

Dan :woot:

Happen to me 2 months back, change the battery and you'll be fine, no need to reprogram. Your local seven eleven should have this battery as its a unique size. I tried bunnings and they didn't have it.

About 50 metres for me. My mate taught me a neat little trick if you need to arm/disarm from far away, stick the remote to your neck and press the button. I managed to get range of about 150m which is from the car park to my desk

thats a known one. you become the antenna for it.

OK, replaced the battery, seemed to slightly imrpove the range for like 2 days. Now its back to its crappy <20m range. What am I doing wrong? Do brands for batteries matter that much? The battery I got wasnt anywhere near its expiry date.....

Help!!

Cheers,

Dan :happy:

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
