both of those ( I sell them) dont have the diagrams in public use and in the case of quiktrak no one knows what the unit looks like or where it is fitted in the car.

for brant try getting a wiring diagram for them. you can't.

I sell viper also

good stuff as well. built more for the US markets tho.

revhead (r33gtst -do a search on here) has a hf1500-python that he is very happy with. been fitted to the car for 3 years now and zero probelms.

all of the ones I mentioned use rolling code technology.

basically the alarm will slow a professional thief down not stop them. the best alarm can also be the worst and easiest to to disable if not fitted properly- food for thought.

I would still use a clublock.

i agree with Chris Rogers.

brant have one of the top alarm systems (the nemesis i believe). 6 point immobiliser, black wiring, key pad pin protection etc... recommended by majority of the insurance companies.

as for quicktrak i thought that it's a satellite tracking system - insurance companies have this as a step up from the alarm system. i'd get both.

get a prolock. make sure you put it on the same way as on the instructions (key hole facing windscreen not the seat) - it makes it that much harder to remove. plus the visual deterrent factor is handy.

quiktrak is radio based. you are thinking of navtrak.

navtrak can be defeated by pulling into a undercover car park.

quiktrak you can do this and still find the car.

there is a reason most insurance companies reccomend brant..

installation depends on the shop and the car.(the quality depends on the shop!!)most of the alarms I sell (mongoose,viper,python,cyclops and quiktrak) start form $390 and go up from there. in the case of quiktrak that one is 2k fitted with one year monitoring.

howhow,

what model was yours? (curious- I did a customer call to a local autobarn here and was told $500 for a hornet system.)

re the brant alarm. I would ring brant direct in your area. (form memory its $1000ish-I haven't got my books in front of me.)

for timers all alarms can be wired around them - dont let any shop tell you they cant be. 3 minutes is plenty of time after a HARD run. 1 min is normal for most of the cars I have seen/worked on.

Brant Nemesis cost me $1098 installed in melbourne - got some other features put on whilst i was having the alarm installed so it cost me a few hundred $$$ more. The extra features aren't really necessacity items (eg. window-up) but they sure look cool :)

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
