was wondering what a decent alarm + immobilior is for the r33 series 2,

preferably something available on ebay!

thanks.

Do you mean something cheap (no warranty) on ebay, that you can install yourself?

A good alarm and professional install is something that should not be skimped on, not when it comes to protecting ya baby!

I'm not going to bother....

actually I will.

I have a fellow flying me to ADL to do his. now if you want to spend nix on security for it then I would like your address pls. I need a donor 33 for the wreck I have here in brissy and yours sounds like it will fit the bill.

FFS spend the money on security. I had a kid come in a few days back that drove a jap S15 with NO INSURANCE at all . only reason he put an alarm on it was someone ALMOST succeeded in getting a parts car by cracking the column.

if you haven't go the money to :

- insure the car

-maintain the car

- secure the car

then in reality you probably shouldn't have it.

make sense..

I installed a mongoose M80AU in my r33 gtr last weekend. Yeah it got it off ebay but they are a reputable brand, and are locally supported. I installed the power window controller as well so it winds up the windows and locks the doors when you press the lock button on the remote.

Has turbo timer support as well.

It came with ultrasonic sensors, 2 stage shock sensor, bonnet switch sensor, battery backup siren, and a lot of wire. I was lucky that the previous owner of my car had left the drivers side central locking solenoid installed from the alarm they had removed from the car.

I dont recommended wiring this in for the feint hearted. I can wire in ecu's faster than this took. The time consuming part is locating the various factory circuits to splice into without a circuit diagram. And removing the interior without braking anything so I can run cable to the boot for power, imobilizers etc. Its a good time to re-wire a stereo at the same time, as i did.

Cheers,

Ian

any recommended suppliers/fitters on the gold coast (or brisbane if i have to)

another quick question - i don't have a remote button/key for my car (95 R33 GTS-t) - so a M80AU will provide this for me?

Take a trip northside for the day and get Chris to do it. At least speak to him about it first.

My alarm that he installed provides the remote locking, I'm sure he can fill in the details.

All you need is one door solenoid for the drivers side. It will use the factory one on the passenger side. The M80AU will fire these solenoids just fine, as it interfaces to the drivers side door controls for the central locking.

Yes defiantly have a pro do this unless your very good at electronics/wiring.

you are better off going to a specialised workshop, having a proper fitment with a product sold in australia with warranty.

You got the car, and if you wanna keep it safe it will cost you a few bucks.

And for Qld fitters see Chris.

also the mongoose alarms on ebay are seconds and have NO warranty regardless who fits them. they need to be sold (new) from a dealer for it to apply.

refer to my previous statements if you do not understand why a proper installation costs $$..

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
