Brant Website

The top of the line is the Nemesis. It's a 6 point immobiliser with alarm and a few extras (some you must pay for). Most people i know with a Brant have had very little problem with it.

I've spoken to brant they are very helpful. Anyway the more people who commit the bigger the discount. Brant already give all Silvia NSW members a discount.

BUT one thing i found is that the 6points of immobilisation it hink only imobilise 3 components. The starter motor, electronics and fuel pump. There are just 2 relays per component. Although I'm not sure about this, this is something that I've been told by many automotive electricians.

yeah thats correct the other 3 points comes from the keypad...

Basically the same alarm system as the ones on the new sti/wrx minus the anti-car jacking feature and uglier keypad.... tried to get the installer to install the car jacking feature on mine but refused due to politics with Subaru.....

the only problem i have with it is the range isn't that great.....

I already got a brant system, its the aa02 tho so its not not the top of the range.

When i had one of the brant guys 2 come over & fix my alarm, he said that i can just upgrade to the Nemesis by getting the missing parts like the keypad etc, & it wouldnt cost 2 much also.

If you guys do decide 2 do a droup buy, please ask about ppl who already have a brant product & wants 2 upgrade to the Nemisis.

Thanks,

Joe.

hahah can anyone say overkill?? hahaha :)

gusy i dont knwo about u.. but alarms are soo ****en easy to bypass weather u got a 1400 one or a 300 dollar one... ask any one who installs em and he will tell u that it will take him hte same time to disable both of them if he wanted too..

i did a bit of research when i was getting mine... adn i couldnt believe how easy the things were to crack.. 2-3 mins and the alarm is disabled.. ure best solution i think would be to do a custom install.. diff coulour wires.. position of main control box in weird places..stuff like that is ure best solution

hey guys check this from the brant website

"

BRANT does not discount - our prices are fair and reflect the cost of experienced trained labour, tried and tested quality products and ongoing after sales service. Normally to discount means cutting corners and offering a little less than we are comfortable with. Our company is built on reputation, word of mouth recommendations and hard earned support from leading insurers and car importers"

i dun think they offer group discounts do they?

and you guys who fitted the AA02...

how much did it cost all up?

mc

Travel time costs us money - if you can arrange two or more vehicles to be fitted with Brant systems on the same day at the same location we are happy to pass the savings on to you by way of an attractive 'multi car' discount. The cars can be your friends, relatives etc - the more cars you book on this basis, the bigger the discount! Talk to us about how much you can save this way.

Any alarm can be by-passed. Just like any computer can be hacked.

But not having one will make things easier for the theives to knock the car off. Sometimes a few seconds can make the difference in someone getting away with the car, and them getting caught red handed.

not sure whether this would work, but...

say you had a S-AFC and disconnected it when your car was parked, is it right to say that the car will not start without the unit?

I know for a fact that the car won't start cause my S-AFC was faulty with the throttle signal and the car wouldn't start.. so if i disconnected the unit.. then I think the car wouldn't start, but they'd have to rewire the ECU and air flow meter signal..

just a thought..

PRANK -  does your alarm have romote engine start or a remote sorta like the boomerang one?  

i recon thats the best idea that way you can get to ur car b4 the theif has a chance to disable it,.. coz theyll be able to disable it no matter what..

this wouldn't work because i have a keypad to start the car..

URMINE, it can be bypassed of course, but it would take them a little while to do it. :(

Brant do give group discounts. If you get the nemesis base model (no extras) its around $1100 retail. If you have two cars it comes down abuot $150 per car. Don't quote me on this cos this is what i was offered a month ago.

The AA02 is already cheaper so a big discount may not be offered HOWEVER, if you buy the AA02 through Autospeed its cheaper than the retail at Brant. AND Brant technicians come to install it anyway. This is what a friend did.

Yes all alarms can be bypassed by they are still deterrants.

christian.. ure keypad ull find is only a "gadget" feature. the key pad should be connected to a control box.. all u do is bypass the control box and any imobiliser/keypad will cease to exist.. litterly less than a 1 minute reconnectioin on a STANDARD installatioin..

im sorry man ure brant will most prob be as easy to bypass as my 350 buck job :(.. mine might even be a bit harder as when i did the installion i hid a couple of wires and a certain control box :(..

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
