Just a little FYI.....

I got an alarm put in for a mazda 323 astina, a rhino GT with 4 door auto window lift, back up battery siren and twin immobolisation with all round central locking including tailgate for $450.

The person that i went to see was Brenton from A & I Auto Electrics in Wetherill Park 0415 540 300... if you're out this way that is.

He has been known to do alot of imports in the area, so yeah... Things like turbo timers, boost gauges, boost controllers, microtech add ons, and other fiddly electrical things lol

Daniel from PPI. as recommended by others on the forum.

I do electronics and other nerdy stuff by trade and he hooked it all up and kept it tidy. Good enough to keep another electrical nerd happy, so I'm pretty sure you'd be happy with his work too.

Oh, and he came it did it at my work, so it wasn't a hassle for me.

I'm reviving this thread. I need a new alarm for one of my cars.

I've been a big fan of the black widows and had a few, but i'm feeling frisky and might try something else.

can anyone give me feedback on the mongoose m80 and the autowatch alarms? and also who installed it, and how much did it cost including installation. and what did you think of the install?

If your in the Northern Beaches area, I can highly recommend Druery car stereo.

They did an absolute top job on my stereo (high end system), and Autowatch immobiliser install.

I have the m80 in my car and haven't run into a problem with it yet. Fortunately no one has tried to steal my car so I can't comment on the effectiveness in real life situations but I'm sure it will do the job :ermm:

I had Daniel from PPI install mine and was very happy with his service and I think it cost me all up $680 which included alarm, tilt sensors, the ultrasonic sensors and auto window closing control unit.

As far as I know any sharp tool in the shed could do a killswitch for you. That's just a matter of an open/close circuit on a vital part of the car like the fuel pump, ignition... pretty much anything electronic that would stop your care from starting when the circuit is open.

A good alarm person will install a top alarm such as the m80 mongoose, make sure they mount the control unit in an extremely difficult place to find eg. not in the glove compartment and know what the hell they are doing and be able to run you through everything to do with the alarm.

Daniel came to my house on a Thursday afternoon because he was having difficult fitting me in through the day. Stayed till 10pm to make sure he finished the job and did the m80, tilt sensors, motion sensors, auto window closers and my turbo timer so he knows a good deal of stuff.

hey i know this is an old thread but so many cars gettin stolen and its time for me to get alarm system just wondering how much did ur alarm set you back and this guy your talking about is he a mobile car alarm installer?? did u buy the alarm off him or does he just install them and is he realy good.?

Do it yourself, its easy... and best of all its not a generic installation, i.e. it will be harder for a crook to match up wires because it isn't installed the same way as every other car.

and for God's Sake dont get a mongoose alarm any body...!!!! Everyone has Mongoose this and that, all a crook has to do is BYO mongoose alarm module & remote and away they go!

I highly recommend Allen Jong - Maxi Security - 0419 988 679

Couldnt agree more :thumbsup:

Theres been a few threads about him in the past.. So you can get lots of feedback from there too if you wish..

I recommened him to my friends too and they are really happy with the service!!

what should i look for in an alarm what features

i want the best.

Most important - make sure it has black wiring!!!

Also make sure the install takes more than 3-4 hours. If not, then its a quick job and simply means its been rushed!!

All other features like tilt sensor etc is just up to you if you wish to pay little extra

gosh does that mean another party has mg alarm and module and remote, he can unlock a mg alarm secured car easily??

by the way can someone put the pricing up? its seems that everyone is gd so the next to compare the price and the service offer

Call Tony on 0419 997 020, he's worked on my R33 GTSt, R33 GTR, A31 Cefiro, R34 GTR and couple of other nissans.

I've watched him installing the units everytime and the standard of work is second to none, very professional.

Tell him that John with a black Skyline sent you. :)

    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU. 
    • Any idea where I can get genuine MAF apart from used ones? I can't find any only for GTRs and unfortunately that price is not in my budget 🤣 I might gap my plugs down and put my splitfires in, they were only in for a year or so before I started the rebuild
