okay, things you need to know.

viper is overpriced for not being not australian standard, and therefore, not going to do anything for your insurance. if you have one fitted and your car gets stolen, then tough luck, they're not an approved alarm. They have a coloured wiring harness, would take someone about 2 seconds to find the right wire to cut off and disable the system.

i do believe however, that they have an australian standards one coming out.

i sell these alarms because people for some reason ask for them. we fitted one with remote start to a supra probably 12 months ago, the car was sold a month later into brisbane, then stolen, because remote start makes it even easier to steal.

you need to buy a mongoose M80S. they have three point immobilization, all black wiring harness, turbo timer interface, a siren and you can add things like window wind up modules and boot release solenoids. cheap as chips, australian standards approved, very good quality, insurance approved, widely sold. Just make sure a professional installs it, not your mates dad who is an auto electrician, because they'll make a mess of it. get someone who fits them regularly to install it for you, dont skimp on fitting.

and dont get microwave or ultra sonic sensors, just a gimmick and a waste of money, they dont work.

wow...

didnt think my topic would get this much attention...

see your local autobarn. lifetime fitting warranty, hard to beat.

ive read alot about alarms with turbo timers...

how does that work? for instance the m80g?

does it basically have the turbo timer unit that is wired through the alarm?

but do you have controll over that turbo timer?

am looking for the new 2009 m60g

I have had a Viper in my GTR for almost 10 years now... Damm battery in remote requires changing every few years... They are awesome!!!

Perfect installation is very very important, pay extra for a perfect job.

paid 1000 for my viper with pager and window wind up.

didnt care needed it, just get it installed by a pro in melbournes north recommend JB Epping.

Good to deal with and even after a month took it back with a small prob fixed for free so there good to deal with.

just make sure they dont install the valet button near ur feet!!

My mate drove my car and her has smaller feet than me and snapped it so i had to get a new button, not a major pain but still CBF came into it quick.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
