Hi guys,

If nothing goes wrong, will be taking delivery of my R34 next week. As the car does not come with an alarm/ immobiliser, will need to install one to as per my insurance requirements. Im not looking for something fanciful, just a standard alarm/immobiliser that comply with the Australian Standards. Any advice on what models or price i should be looking at? Most importantly, where can I get it installed at a good price?

Thank you

Cheers

Mate - don't be stingy when it comes to an alarm - sure, if someone wants to steal your car they most likely would... but hey, if a good and reliable alarm; this process will sure as hell be harder and will also give you a chance to keep your car...

I recommend anything from a Viper to a mongoose. You can buy it off ebay and then go to a installer e.g. Autobarn, Strathfields, Gary's Radio and alarms or an auto-eletrician and get it hooked up.

Or, you can go to one of the above places and get the alarm supplied and fitted.

Good luck mate.

sau vic members have access to a specialist alarm installer who offers great price and service

failing that i would recommend some local guys and just ask them some obvious questions

what sorta cars do they work on - how will the alarm protect your car etc

Jump on ebay mate... then call around a few of the shops (that I had mentioned) and ask for some quotes... labour is around $70.00 at most places... so just factor this into the price mate... also, most alarms now offer remote start... not sure if it tickles your fancy, but pretty cool to have.

Good luck.

i wouldnt recommend a remote start type alarm system.

but i rate the mongoose M80 for any skyline.

3 point and black wiring also insurance approved :P

if u live around the east side i can give u a contract who does pro installs certified etc. he'll even come to your house.

No worries mate - an alarm is somewhat an investment on security... don't go cheap on it as it could just save your car from getting stolen... but remember to do your homework as prices vary heaps.

Good luck buddy...

I wouldnt trust the Ebay mongoose alarms.

Heard from a couple of people they are cheap knockoff's and professional alarm installers wont touch them.

Go http://www.stylyn.com/

$500~ for Mongoose M80 + a full day alarm install (removing dash etc)

Professional alarm install which isnt done by a bunch of kids at autobarn lol

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.

      It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

      Blue slip

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
