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. :)

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
