I unfortunately have to park my car out in the open in a couple of dodgy ares of brisbane once or twice a week so am interested in beefing up security, especially a tilt sensor and contact/perimeter warning. Might even look at getting some of the cool new features on various alarm systems such as the Viper HD and iphone app.

only thing is, I have no idea of any aussie experience with alarms and integration with the car. Anyone done this locally or have advice?

someone in states has this system on order but not yet installed...

Dude call these guy's out, they post on here a bit and used to have ALOT of custom GTR stuff on their site.

They have done alot of custom stuff with GTR's reverse camera setup's, GPS navigation etc. They specialize it looks in alot of alarm systems I'm sure they would know how to fit alarms to GTR's or hook you up with someone who can.

I'm not sure if I will get an alarm or not for the GTR, perhaps if I could get one that remote starts from like 200 metres away, that shit is fun I used to have that on my RX7 series 7 big loud pipe at the back. Used to remote start the car when people were walking past they would freak out like "Hey nobody's in the car wtf" LOL priceless. Good for warming up the car since the GTR needs a bit of a warmup.

Love the idea of Iphone app for an alarm have to check that out. Good luck

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
