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..

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 :(..

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      Any recommendations on a decent replacement manifold that doesnt break the bank or require additional mods for the stock turbo setup? I figure if I'm going to pull the manifold off anyway to fix the studs might as well replace it.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      So I checked the turbo out today. Very minimum play at all just enough for the oil to take up when it's running. I did find an exhaust leak at the manifold. 1 stud all the way in the front is missing and the one all the way in the back is broken off. Front has visible signs of an exhaust leak. I'll fix that soon but that's not my problem still.  I also found that the nipple coming off the turbo had the hose capped off and a hose ran from the j-pipe by the bov going to the wastegate. I removed that hose and capped that nipple and put the turbo nipple hose back on the wastegate.  There was a ton of oil residue all through the charge side of the intercooler piping going to the throttle bodg. I'm thinking that's from the pcv. Doesn't seem to be coming from the turbo that was all clean on the pipes side.  Haven't had a chance to check fuel pressure yet, haven't had time been having to pull a lot of doubles at work. I did pick up some carb cleaner to clean the iacv but wanted to make sure I had a fresh gasket in case the old one rips when I pull it off.  I'm waiting on a MAF that was supposed to be here today but delayed to Monday. Have a double Monday and Friday and work all of next weekend so going to try to find some time in the middle of the week to try that out. Did about a 10m trip around the block today and towards the end the issues were coming back. Fingers crossed on this MAF but if not just going to throw a fuel pressure gauge in and see where I'm at.  Did notice today that I can definitely hear the injectors pulsing. Very audible clicking coming from them. Assuming that's normal? Should also mean CAS is functioning somewhat properly. After it warmed up when I started it the intermittent misfires came in again. Did start doing that before it was fully warmed up.

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.
