just wanting to know what a good cheap security system would be and how much ...?

depends on what you want

they can range anywhere from $100 (not including installation), You can give mongoose a call (not sure on how much they charge for their alarms), or JB hifi, wow sight sound, autobarn, supercheap.

you want one that atleast conforms to insurance standards, so i'd be speaking to your insurance company to see what they require to be covered, then go to the shops and tell them what your insurance company require.

i got a 2nd hand mongoose m800 if y'all want it... its all there, ive painstakingly followed each wire to its connection and removed it, damn pain in the rear end to remove, buggered if i know how to wire it up again.... but its all there, worked great, immobilised, worked with the central locking, made a beep beep noise, flashed the indicators, made a noise if battery going flat..

pm me if anyone wants it, going cheap.

dont bother with a "cheap" security system... either spend the money or dont put anything on it... because if someone really wanted to steal your skyline they will... thats my advise

Is it multi colored wiring?

location please. budget?

To be honest i only want to spend $100-$150 fitted, lees if i can get away with it, just needs to be a general deterent, comply with insurance requirements and make the central locking on my 91 fairlane daily remote.

i have a Quick release boss kit for my steering wheel (almost definately illegal), id like to see someone steal my car in a hurry, freakin near on impossible, unless they bring 1 with them,,,

when I lived in LA my G/F bro had a steering wheel that came off, we came out to see some crips pushing the lowrider down the street with vicegrips for the steering wheel... so dont think that will stop anyone for more then 5 seconds.

buy a big dog to ride shotgun..lol

really you need to budget a bit for security , if not how can you expect to afford to drive one at all ??? I know budgets are tight but do it right or pay for it twice ?? or worse it gets nicked without insurance due to a lack of a few hundred dollar alarm on it. common sense really ???

raise that budget to about $300-$350 and you will actually get something worth having on your car and installed properly. for $100-$150 I wouldn't bother. may as well put that money on number 3 in race number 7 at caufield..... at least if you win then you can afford an alarm.

seriously, $100 is like 1 weeks worth of fuel. catch the bus/train/lifts for 2 weeks or so then you have your alarm money. :P

Is it multi colored wiring?

its got coloured wiring for about 2 inches into a plug, then its all black baby!

and its in your price range!

2 remotes... all components, hell, ive even got the box!

location please. budget?

lol, I was going to bump Audio Express.

$500 or so dollars and you get an alarm installed that goes off if someone farts in the general direction. :P

there's not really such a thing. you will find that 90% of the shops you vist won't really give a rats when they sell you the thing and the installers won't either.

when doing an alarm it is the install that is the most important bit.

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
