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)

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
