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)

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
