I got my windows done at Solar Tint: http://www.solartint.com.au/ They have a lifetime warranty and did a good job...nice guys too! they have a place in Melbourne, see the website for info...

as for alarms, I have a Brant (along with many other members of this forum!). They are fitted by Suburu in the factory for lots of their cars, including WRX & STI's.....you can get lots of different ones depending on what you need, but I just got the basic one which was only around $600. They fit them all over Aus including Melb..

see http://www.brant.com.au/

hey aZn_RoMeO,

what i found with the brant car alarm, is that it provided a "piece of mind" that none of the other car alarms that i could find did.... pretty much the only way that they can steal this car and the company has said this as well is if someone has a forklift thing and physically lifts the car from wherever u left it onto a flat-tray truck and then move the car away - but even then they will have a hell of a job to either get the car started or workout how the alarm functions as it's all in black wiring (so what u say - i can get this from strathfield or wherever) but if any wires are cut the car is dead - 6 point engine protection - it's got ultrasonics + incar sensors, passive rearming (it really is as well!!!) and if the battery is disconnected as i found out last week then the only way to stop the siren's is to enter the master code into the pinpad ( + along with all the normal features of a car alarm).

here are the features from their website on the nemesis:

Features –

Remote codehopping operation + BRANTS famous PIN code entry system

Six (6) engine immobilisers

Dual siren system (one self powered siren outside – one inside)

Ultrasonic movement detectors + 2 stage impact shock sensors

Keyless entry

Electric window operation (option)

Remote panic

Passive immobilisation

Auto rearm in case of accidental switch off

False alarm lockout

Detects intrusion via doors, boot/hatch, bonnet, windows, sunroof + immobilises the engine in 6 places.

And much more…

look, i'm in no-way affiliated with them, and personally the cost that are associated with it are pretty high, but for me it way the peace of mind factor of making theft of my precious skyline 0% (as close as possible to it anyway) - i think the costs are something around the $1000 - $1100 mark for the nemesis - but if u think u don't need all that protection, then go for one of the simplier models, (and i think, but don't quote me on this, that these can be upgraded by adding extra components later to make a nemesis model).

i hope this helps, but if your in melbourne give angi a call and have a chat to her, very good and always willing to help even after i bought the alarm - otherwise i'm pretty sure there is an outlet in every state....

ok firstly - u can get the auto features added to the alarm like i did but they are extra - i think the auto windows up feature was something like 148 dollars for both windows - the nemesis itself was 1098 installed

haha, angi - that's the name of the company that does the installation in melbourne and the person who runs it is called funnily enough angi - but if u wanted to get in contact with the sydney one these are their contact info.

the nemesis model, there is no problems with turbo timers, cause within the keypad control there is a feature which can be turned on/off for turbo timer feature - as far as i know there is no auto start feature but as i've read from other people with it on the forums it's a novelty thing and lasts about a week - bit like my auto feature for the windows i guess (forget i got it installed and almost always put the windows up myself!!!) yeah it's A.N.G.I. technologies, lolz

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
