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. :)

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
