What the best car alarm system for R33 GTST?

[howhow82]

Felt quite sad now. Juz came back from autobarn. Pay AUD1250 for a viper 790xv. Not suppose to make the decision in a rush. Less function than boomerang.... Sad sad......

Brant have a good one, with 6 or 7 immobiliser points and a keypad pin number entry system.

[Chris Rogers]

quicktrack or brant.

[howhow82]

how about viper? izzit good?

[Chris Rogers]

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.

[Chris Rogers]

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.

Is there any chance for those ppl to decode it or should i say break the code? do u reckon i still need to use the steering lock?

[Chris Rogers]

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.

[Chris Rogers]

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..

[Leon.T]

do not get the NEmesis if your in melb....

[Evil]

I have a Mongoose alarm in my car and it is quite good. With pager alarms they seem ok but if someone wants your car they will tow it away. The tracking alrams seem ok as well.

[CroatianR33]

For a very good alarm + installation how much do you guys think it would cost???

[howhow82]

For your information, i just paid AUD 1350 for Viper alarm system because i didn't realize that it don't come with turbo timer, so need to pay for the turbo timer as well. Shit autobarn...

[howhow82]

At the same time, how long would u ppl set on ur turbo timer? i mean the duration b4 it switch off. Do u guys reckon 3 mins. is good enough?

[P1E]

How much for the Brant Nemesis?

[Chris Rogers]

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

[howhow82]

the model that i unstalled is Viper 790xv include an autobarn turbo timer.
