is that peter at fivedock, i thought he was really good over the phone and sounded quite professional, however the bloke who installed my alarm was not, he cut corners and even told he had somewhere else he would rather be. i rang peter back and he sent the guy out to finsh the job properlly. i have had no issues with the actual alarm, works fine. if i had to pick an alarm again i would brobably go with brant but tell peter to send his best installer

i had to go out there once when i first got my GT-R, they were quite helpful

got that 'indicator code' for over-riding the alarm fob if it dies, then found a card the previous owner had got in the wheel well a few weeks later. lol

they are kinda rushed though

Ive got a Brant alarm in my 32... Im pulling it out in favour of a Flashpoint because the Brant is crap, it has drained the battery twice, the aerial has never worked properly(you have to be right next to the car for the remote work) and the immobiliser crapped out on me recently, so I had to bypass it to be able to drive the car and the microwave sensor's are useless, they arent adjustable and they go off with the slightest hint of a breeze or movement.

It wasnt a bad install either because I had a close friend who is a qualified auto elec install it and he said that it is just a crap alarm system.

Thats just my two cents though... I might have got one from a bad batch or something.

Had a bit to do with brant alarms and some of the components are of a very cheap quaility. Alot of the time the relays in these fail.

apart from the fact that they are no longer a "big company" id steer clear. they still come out to repair/replace the units but.

I have one in my 33 GTR. Was fitted by previous owner, hav'nt had any problems with the install but has the usual Brant issues, like you have to be practically in the car for the remote to work and poor quality key fob. However its one of only 3 alarms Shannons will insure on and as such i will be keeping it until I can afford something better. Judging by the way skylines are getting knocked off in S.A i.e a couple a week, its doing a great job for me so far.
