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

      gauge needle removal

      By JC71 · Posted

      I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.

      Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds

      Assuming that they will come off without damage at all.... i would have thought just pull straight up off the spindle with a something or other than can reach underneath. Have you searched for youtube vids of people doing similar on R34s or any other Nissan from the same vintage? They should be the same technique, in all likelihhood.

      Wheel refurb?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Keeping in mind that sandblasting is really aggressive on softer metals like cast alloy, and you can do damage that you might regret. For trash wheels, not a problem. For wheels with value/scarcity issues, etc.... perhaps a less aggressive media is a better choice?
