Hey guys,

just a couple of quick newbie questions about alarm systems with turbo timers inbuilt, are they any good ? how does the system judge how long the car should remain on for, im assuming its fully automatic ? im planning on getting this alarm system http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...type=osi_widget (i know i know Ebay alarms arent heavily favoured by you guys etc im sorry! besides my car is never far from me - will always be kept in my carport) also can i get an idea of how much such a system would cost to be fully installed into my 33,

thanks alot guys any information would be greatly appreciated as this is my first import and im a big newbie,

P.A

My Autowatch alarm has the inbuilt turbo timer. If your car only runs for 2-3 minutes, it will not use the turbo timer and the engine will shut down immediately. If the car runs for longer, the turbo timer counts down for a preset time (i think mine is set to 90 seconds). This works fine for me, i choose to go for an alarm with the t/timer in it, to reduce the amount of unnecessary wiring + electronics in my car.

you may not have much $$ left after your purchase but I would honestly NOT buy that unit. since you are in adelaide go see adelaide pro sound and get him to sort the car out. it will be done properly AND it will be insurance compliant. that one will last 6 months tops and IF you need a remote where are you going to get one from??

      Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points?

      I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.

      Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?

      So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
