For a long time Cobra was the top of the heap in Car Alarms and still produce some of the best alarms around on the market today. They are not as big on features for idiots but they have good and reliable electrical components with features that will stop your car getting stolen.

I used to work in the industry and was involved with the Melbourne distribution of many car alarms including cobra. We sold many brands and the ones with the least trouble and bets fit, design etc were definatly the cobra system over a number of years.

So would you say it will be worth getting the cobra system or is there another brand that you would recomend.

cheers

I have just installed a Cobra Immobilizer (3 point). I needed to do it so Shannons would insure my car.

The service was good. The installation is neat (a little red light near far right air con vent. And you get two little control mechanisms. You simply out it near the red light in the car and the red light turns off, then you can start your car. The immobilizer turns itself on when you take out your keys.

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
