Hey guys, im looking for the best car security alarm & immobiliser system to fit in my GTT R34. Because of my R33 S2 being stolen few weeks ago, im very serious about this security thing now.

I wouldn't mind spending up to about $1000 on this, so please advise me of the best alarm system and where to get it installed for a proper job. I was looking at a M80 Mongoose product, which seemed to of received alot of compliments.

What do you guys put in and who does it for you?

ive actually decided on going for the Mongoose M80G, as ive researched that no one has ever heard of their cars being stolen with a mongoose alarm on it.

It’s not necessarily the alarm... who and how it was installed will have more bearing on how theft proof the car is.

Just get it over and done with and get a QUICKTRAK system installed, with full live monitoring.

Car goes missing, you make a phone call, head office shuts the car down by sending a code to the Quiktrak system and then they call the cops to the exact position of your vehicle.

I'd second quicktrak, at least you're 99.9% guaranteed your car will be found.

Although a thief with a gps and cellphone blocker would make quick work out of that system if they were keen enough.

Howie,

google spread spectrum radio - that will give you some idea how quicktrak works. your idea will slow a few of them down but not that one.

I have $35m of ferries insured with that system with 3 more to go (contract completes 2009.) so its a VERY reliable system.

APS,

i see you are talking to gary. top bloke.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
