Do be aware with some alarms your insurance company won't cover you.

When Shopping around for insurance all alarms (bar shannons which didn't seem to care) must be an aussy approved black wire alarm with a minimun 3point immobiliser.

Definitely get an alarm with a hit/knock sensor what ever they are called. :P

I believe it was Just Cars that required a black wire alarm, minimum 3 point immobiliser and the alarm was self locking.

My alarm is all of the above + a heap more.

I always leave self locking disabled as initially I locked my self out of the car too many times. Its so easy done.

Basically what one needs as a minimum:

Black wire

3 point immobiliser

Self Arming

I also feel a hit is a must, without one what stops a theif breaking a window jumping in the drivers seat while the immobiliser is bypassed? Without it your only defence/notification of the person gaining entry to the car is if they go in through the door.

I was very lucky recently to find my car parked out the front with my old mans new Navara right next to it. The old mans Navara had the lock stuffed as some one tried to gain entry. His car has an alarm but no hit sensor; the door lock and door was manged.

They also tied what looked like speaker wire from the letter box to the tap so across the driveway.

Luckly for what ever reason the thiefs didn't even bother with my car?!?

Alarms are only usefuls in deterring 'smash and grab' style thieves that are just trying to get head units, cash, whatever they can see in your car for a hundred bucks to buy crack

for a pro thief smashing a window will usually just set off a warning beep if it does go off then it prolly takes them all of 10 sec to disable it... nobody is going to risk themselves to save your car when they hear an alarm. I dont know how but most of the cars stolen lately have had immobilisers so they have a way around them to

My opinion is you need to spend most on immobilisers and more than one kill switch, have a pager alarm like me

my 2 cents

Guy's, dont waste your money on this viper alarm, it is not an alarm but more of a gimmik/toy.

Search the Car Alarm & Audio thread for more information.

One reason:

Most alarms have NO (normally open) relays, and the when the immobilier is disarmed, it charges the relay to allow the car to start. The 791 has NC (normally closed) relays. So cut the one single power wire to the alarm module, and the 3 point immobiliser would be more useful as a paperweight.

thats not too hard lol just get a relay thats normally open..... and pager alarms are the bomb for sure

Relays are internal to the alarm. Why stuff around with a coloured-wire alarm, trying to bring it up to standard - just buy a decent well built secure alarm to start with, with a brand name you can trust. If i was to go for a paging alarm, id definatly go GSM (sms), the RF signal ones like this viper have a range which isnt much better than line of sight.

I'll probly get something like my brother has on his car, if anything moves inside the car with the doors closed the alarm goes off, you open the doors and the alarm goes off, only thing he needs is a kill switch, but he never leaves it anywhere, only a commo so doesnt really matter anyways, these days ppl are after imports i think, but still.

I've seen one when your alarms going off for longer then acouple of minutes (open door, smashed window etc..) your phone rings - comes up saying 'car alarm ringing' or sumthing, anyone heard of these?

+ im going to put in acouple of surveillance camera's.

im thinking internal screamer is good idea even if the open door and alarm is going off to sit in car and disarm the rest of it there ears will bleed withing 30 secs

Good idea to deter them from sitting in your car ripping ur audio gear out! My last alarm installer suggested an extra internal screemer for my calais. Just make sure you tuck it away somewhere!

    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
