Hi everyone,

Does anyone know whether the Clifford Avantguard 4 alarm/immobiliser complies to australian standards. I ask this because i imported the car with it already installed and wanted to know if it is ok for Justcars.

Also, has anyone had experience with this alarm? is it any good?

Thanks in advance.

Clifford make reasonable security systems and usually comply to UK standards or Thatcham Approved, I am not too sure if they have been put through the Australian Standards Testing procedure however, even if they have all the features of an Australian Standards alarm system ie black wiring, 3 point immobiliser etc does not mean they would be covered by insurance. Being that they are not sold here in Australia (that I know of) I would say they have not been tested for AU Standards. In the past I have had to remove a few Clifford alarms from imports in order to fit an AU Spec immobiliser.

Sorry can't give you a definate answer, only what I have seen in my experience.

    • If there's enough meat in the housing where you want to put the M12 adapter, then do it, but be aware that if/when you f**k that up you'll probably be repairing it before doing anything else. I'd just drill it out and tap ina 1/4" thread. No need for rocket surgery when the next most obvious thing will do. You could throw a 1/4 x 1/8 bush in there and use the same fitting you intended to use.
    • Is the only issue that the oil catch can is getting filled on hard runs? I'd be thinking more about oil control issues rather then the head lifting, especially as you aren't seeing spiking in the coolant pressure.  Do you need restrictors in the head, or better drains from the head? Does the sump need venting to the catch can?
    • Tried to make 1/8npt threads into compressor house of the turbo for my EBC. Threads got fu#ked and ended up with and elongated hole, so I do have good amount and nice threads 90% of the hole but 10% I only had 1-2threads there and rest of it is flush on that side of the hole.. So my idea is to do M12 x 1.25 to AN4 with braided lines instead of 1/8npt to 4mm vacuum silicone hose.  and hopefully get a better thread. M12 is quite big and AN4 is a little bit bigger than 4mm (4.9mm inner diameter braided PTFE hose). but this should work. Thoughts? Otherwise I will weld and adapter onto the turbo.   
    • Looks great, I hope everything is working well after all that time!
