Hi all,

Just wondering peoples oppinions on car alarms ive had the mongoose m80 before and hated it and i hear about alarms shitting themself every now and then ones that have heaps of features like pager and all that. I was thinking of hidden fuel cut switch, imobilizer and tracking (the one that was on group buy a while back). Any feed back would be good and/or a recommended person to do the job.

Cheers.

went broke well over two years ago. a couple of sydney people bought it and were operating it out of a garage for a while but last I heard it was all over. the local guys lost $100k or better each and there were 5 of them doing it.

Ehhh??? I had a Brant car alarm fitted to one of my cars only 4 months ago and they did a bloody excellent job for a company that is out of business...

I think you may find that you are wrong there.

They still have a website up as well (www.brant.com.au) if you wish to confirm.

I highly recommend them. Great products, great service, and they can come to you if you wish (I had it fitted while at work)

Lol some say that Brant is sh*t and some highly recommend them...zzz..... What to choose ? And hi Chris , should i go for Autowatch Alarm or just get an aftermarket alarm ??? What do you reckon? I prefer both security and also need to be compliant with insurer .... Any helps would be appreciated !!

as someone who used to fit for brant years ago I can honestly say I have fitted better more reliable alarms over the years than that thing. teh remotes were crap the electronics weren't much better.

autowatch is my preference for security though I do sell Viper and mongoose as well for those that want it.

I get pissed off when i hear Brant.

i called them when i needed an alarm to be fitted in my previous skyline.

i asked whoever it was that picked up the phone, if they had a basic alarm or immobiliser.

He then asked my budget and i said $300? Then guy started laughing and said i would never get an alarm from that much.

He just hung up the phone. Sounded so unprofessional.

BTW, i did not know they only sell very expensive alarms. i thought they might also have basic ones like every other company does.

I would also suggest Autowatch.

have used them in most of our cars back home (south africa) and i think they are made there lol

was surprised to find them here.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
