Cheers from Nathan.

mine stuffs up and wont hold starter for long enough....so takes 2 or 3 times to start up....thats when shes cold....but ok when warm.....

but i think its a hassle more then helpful....just last night when i walked inside, threw the keys down.....then a few mintues later i thought i heard a car sitting in the driveway....the damn car had started

i don't think its very good at all...warming up your car on idle for a long time isn't good for your engine anyway. should warm your car up by driving gently and conservatively till your car reaches nominal operating temp.

Nah i havnt seen one stuff up and pin a kid to a wall, the guy leave it in gear ?

nope neutral safety switch failed. the vehicle usually didnt start if in gear in this case it did.

i have the viper

with remote start

i like it and it is a good peice of gear

Yeah im getting few mixed comments about this alarm, it does seem like a good alarm has remote start and the turbo timer would be useful.

it does not actually have a turbo timer

the instaler can integrate one into it for you

i was told it had one but after it was intalled i was advised the instaler can integrate one into it for you

wtf

oh well

remote start is just a cool gimmick

the secrity fetures are what you want to buy an alarm for ....right?

Nope if i didnt see the remote start or the so called turbo timer i wouldnt have giving it a second look. Is this alarm worth the money ?

no.

look at the 480xv.

How much do those go for ? The VIPER 791XV i can get for $305 on ebay delivered from the states.

EDIT:

When im ready ill go down and check out the situation at a proper store and get them to fit it at the same time, Also heard the Viper alarms arnt Aussie standard approved so thats gay.

get a mongoose m80. auto start are pointless in my opinion and just increase the price. imobilisers, black wiring, sensors and installation should be what your spending your money on.

The whole point of the auto start was because i heard that you have to warm the car up for the turbo before you move, but seems like this isnt the case if you dont thrash it all the way up the street. My intentions were positive but it is just a cool gimmick like that dude said. Just looked at the mongoose m80 its cool cheers man.

not to mention if you buy from ebay its not covered for warranty either.

the one you really need to look at is the 480xv as it IS Oz stds and has two way paging.

chuck the model number into google. its not a DIY alarm

as for the 791 - if you drive a manual car I can steal your car with the alarm engaged!

You dont need to warm a car up, if you drive gently while the car is below normal running temp, you wont have an issue.

As for the remote start, you do realise insurance more than likely wont cover a car fitted with such a device, and it's also against ADR, and makes your car defectable (more defectable).

B.

The other thing to consider is that remote start alarms jsut make the car easier to steal .

Thief finds remote start module, triggers it and car starts..

No need for hot wiring.

It would be like having a guard dog with no teeth.

if you press the brake on my set up it shuts down

    • New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.
    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.
