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’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
