Yes, saving money for an alarm as we speak. Probly one like Pauly's, im hooked on the idea of starting the car and it heating up inside before i go out and get into it. and the quick release steering wheel is the best idea i think, definatly go one of these when i have some extra money. At the moment i have 4 workmates that have eyes on my car most of the time anyways (they like looking at it) and the hidden car park video camera's that we have so its pretty safe at the moment, but ya never know i guess.

not that im one of them, but some people cant afford to save any money, let alone 8 hung for an alarm, when insurance, rego, fuel, maintenance...etc etc is enough already..when i was an apprentice no that long ago, was hard to scratch a dime together. easier said than done...also, its all well and good to say, dont buy the car if you cant alarm it...but hey...when you want something really bad...youll scrape every dime together just to afford repayments etc. hell, some people have mortgages, kids, even 1 or 2 girlfriends. cant afford shit. lol

im just sayin....its hard for some people...as long as your aware of the risks.

hmmm spend 800bux on an alarm or risk 20g car being stolen and never recovered pretty simple choice

there are also choices the alarm doesnt have to cost $800 shop smart ppls

A high quality Austraian Standard popular branded(Mongoose, Viper, Cyclops, Black Widow etc) alarm system with minimum 3 point immobilizer, black wiring etc can be had for bout half of that... its once you start getting additional features it starts to get up to $800 and over.

did u get the one i linked you to pauly

Vu @ autobahn the basic viper installed is

$900.00

The one at autobarn for $900 is remote start... mate of mine got an basic Australian standard Viper alarm with window wind up for $500something fitted at Tonkins.

Today tonight yes, but it wont hold in court. Unlike america entrapment is against the law here go figure....

Bait cars are not entrapment.

Entrapment would be saying to a junkie 'Steal the stereo from that car and I'll give you $100', and then arresting him when he breaks into the car.

I was slightly right, but ^ is partly wrong as well :

ENTRAPMENT - A person is 'entrapped' when he is induced or persuaded by law enforcement officers or their agents to commit a crime that he had no previous intent to commit; and the law as a matter of policy forbids conviction in such a case.

However, there is no entrapment where a person is ready and willing to break the law and the Government agents merely provide what appears to be a favorable opportunity for the person to commit the crime. For example, it is not entrapment for a Government agent to pretend to be someone else and to offer, either directly or through an informer or other decoy, to engage in an unlawful transaction with the person. So, a person would not be a victim of entrapment if the person was ready, willing and able to commit the crime charged in the indictment whenever opportunity was afforded, and that Government officers or their agents did no more than offer an opportunity.

HOWEVER :)

On the other hand, if the evidence leaves a reasonable doubt whether the person had any intent to commit the crime except for inducement or persuasion on the part of some Government officer or agent, then the person is not guilty.

Always comes down to reasonable doubt...

all vipers to my knowledge come remote start but dont quote me i know they have some cheapie models

yeah madaz I did, thanks. everything came a.o.k.

yeah i wouldn't of linked if he was dodge, great value though

Damn that's bad. I just got my alarm, have to get it installed

:)

if you need the name of a competent installer PM me or Pauly im sure was happy with his installer i paid $180 for my install

are you fkn serious? your saving money NOW to get an alarm? This is why so many skylines lately have been stolen. NO ALARM!! Sad that it takes shit like this for people to realise. They arent that expensive.

Well i've just spent $800 for tyres, only had a job 4 weeks and only just got my car back on the road, only had it 6 months, an alarm was on the list but unfortunatly i needed new tyres first, so dont say s**t til you actually know the circumstances! And yes, I've wanted a GTR since i was 16, as soon as i saw this one i wanted it, but yes, i realize that i should have thought about all those other things that come with owning a car, but yeah, didnt think i was going to get fired as i was a manager at the time.

And as ryanrb25 said its hard but im getting money together and would actually cost more to catch public transport to work everyday. But yeh i know the risks, as i said, theres alot of eyes on my car during the day and its locked away at night, but yeh, it will soon be alarmed.

haha check out my sig... its my job

3 Point immobiliser is essential.

IMHO, don't bother with the extra features offered with alarms... In my experience they just end up being massive headaches (poor quality sensors result in cr4p performance and false alarms/angryness)... As long as the alarm goes off with entry or large shock I'd be happy.

I personally wouldn't even consider a remote start option... Added cost for decreased security?

In terms of where to get alarms: I would suggest to avoid car toys (I have only had bad and very bad experiences with them... and the alarm was very substandard and expensive)

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
