Hi everyone,

I'm going to have a R34 these days and currently looking for a good alarm for it.

It has to have these functions:

1. remote engine start

2. turbo timer function

3. automatic window closing when I turn off the car (maybe optional...)

4. everything else a reliable alrm should have...... (have to...)

5. not more than $500 include install (have to...)

I was told mongoose M80 meet almost of them, also autowatch is good as well. Is there anyone can give me suggestions???

BTW I'm in SA.

Thanx for helping me guys!

Mongoose M80 are really good alarms i have one in my R33 Installed myself and i have a window lift modual and added on to it and a pager module added onto it aswell and never had any problems, the New ones now come with turbo timer built into it so that saves you some cash on haveing to by an aftermarket turbo timer, and as for remote start its not really recomended cause they an cause all kinda of problems with you insurence and saftey i have heard some story's of people getting hit by a car that has remote start in it. But deffiently look into a Mongoose M80-au or the M80-MU (i think its mu its the one with microwave sensors in it), if you get it with window lift module you will probs be looking at the $700 Fitted mark as the alarm itself comes in at about $599 fitted with the window module at around $100 addon and and thigns like that

Hi mate, thanx for u reply! I have heard M60 before as well, do u know any differents between M60 and M80?

i havnt delt much with the m60's but if you goto www.mongoose.com.au it will give you all the info on them and functions they do and do not do. from memory i think the m60 only has 2 points of immobilisation were the m80 has 3.

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
