Hi ppls

I know alarms is a very popular topic and all, and yes, I have done a search on the forum for alarms and read the posts about em, but I don't seem to find much mention of an alarm that offers:

>= 3 immobilisation pts

remote start

ability to add aftermarket turbo timer

Those are pretty much the only features (apart from the usual alarm stuff) that I am looking for

- I heard Brandt may be able to pop a TT on, but some say there are problems

- I know Cobra alarms allow TTs but no remote start

- Boomerang has a remote start and TT, but no provisions for an aftermarket one, and apparently only 1 immob pt (WTF?)

Can anyone help identify any alarms which provide those features?

Thanks

kW

You could try AUTOWATCH. Its called the 288RLI. They have remote start but have two immobilser circuits with and extra auxillary immobiliser circuit which you'll need an extra relay for. Autowatch also have other alarms which have 3 immobiliser circuits but no remote start. Its not Australian though, its South African. Very good quality from what ive used.

in regards to two-three point immobilisation - it is just a matter of intercepting vital circuits with a relay to cut their function (ie starter, fuel pump, ignition circuit etc)

you can use a single immobiliser cut out point to run more than one relay (given the current of the relays combined doesn't exceed the maximu for the alarm output)

hence it is possible to use a two output point immobiliser to cut out say four points

so u reckon that 2 point immobs only uses single output?

what u think about 3 point immobs then? u think they only use a single output point too?

Tony - which remote start systems have 1st gear lockouts? What is that anyway? Will this prevent the car from being put into 1st gear when the car is off (hence preventing disaster when u try to look cool to the chicks and start the car and the car starts getting jiggy wit it)?

I've been told that the 3rd immobiliser, used to cut out the fuel pump has caused problems in the past when cars break down which is why most manufacturers don't make them any more. Not sure exactly what the problem is. I only got the 3rd one for insurance reasons.

I assume most remote start systems have the option of the gear lockout. The viper does but it doesn't fit in the Skyline. All it does is stops the remote start from working if it is in gear.

i think the alarm systems with more than one cut out point have separate output wires from the control unit.

this way if one relay gets traced and shorted the other would still need to be located. usually though i think you would have the relays near the control unit and if they find that you're stuffed anyway

Think about it people, how many of you have turbo timers? And if you don't then im sure you sit and let it idle to cool down for a few mins depending on how hard you've been driving it right? Then why exactly would it be in gear when you go to use your remote starter? Personally i don't have a starter, and really dont have any need for one.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
