For me is the Mongoose M80.

Called up Stylyn Audio in VIC

(http://www.stylyn.com/

Stylyn- Focal, MB Quartz, RockFord Fosgate, Alpine, ALARMS etc

268 Dorset Rd, Boronia - (03) 9739 8866)

They quoted me $250 for that specific alarm in my specific car (R32 GTS-T) (including remote central locking). $600 providing the alarm for me.

Still a bit of a shame cause found the alarm cheap here ($250) and this doesn't come with some accessories:

not really... if you have been at it for over 20 yrs you will see some shockers. most think an alarm can be fitted by anyone. it can. whether or not it works and does the intended job properly when fitted poorly is another question.

also do you honestly think that if you lowballed every shop for audio and security that these shops would be around for long. we have overheads and that comes out in what we charge for our jobs.

the short of it. if you have not got a clue on what you are doing - don't attempt it - pay a professional .

Alright so Chris, what's the lowest price as a SAU member that i can get the alarm fitted and installed by Stylyn Auto? (They provide the M80 alarm too). Need this done in a weeks time, thanks.

lol why would you ask another business how much it would cost to get an alarm installed elsewhere. Silly question!!

Edit: Also dont be cheap. Afterall your alarm will be protecting your car which is worth thousands of dollars.

Sid,

they will be cheap - it the nature of the beast to spend $20 securing $20K of car... then they whinge bitch and complain when the insurance company refuses to pay up.

LOL you may think it was a silly question but i thought maybe he remembered some 'special' quotes off the top of his head or something as they seem to know each other. I know it's just a fraction of the price of the car but not everyone is balling with money like you are :(

we do indeed know each other. we make it a practice of keeping pricing to our relevant markets. if you want a price from stylyn call them. that said I may be down there in a few weeks anyway.

I wish! believe it or not this is how I pay for a 30 year old house and feed my kid.

my stags in getting a gps unit fitted with remote start/shut off and all that jazz. i'll let you know what it cost me tomorrow when i pick it up. my last car was pinched so security is a big issue for me, i actually dropped my car off 120km's away to get it fitted by an experienced professional. there are alot of cowboys out there and ive had so many friends have immobiliser problems down the track from poorly fitted systems. It's your wheels bro, do it once, do it right i say :)

Definately well said about done once done proper. Rent-A-Tint (franchise) in Dandenong would do it for $550 and because i'm getting tints there as well i could get it cheaper. If you want more details let me know, could probably try a group buy type thing there if you guys interested :)

doh may have jinxed myself lol. if anyone knows if the nm35 stagea has a single wire to lock all the doors and close the windows (total close wire) and how to locate it you could save me a few bucks. the guys installing the system have said it will save them a few hours if i can find this out for them. Thanks (sorry for hijacking your thead lol) :)

who has the car? westend in armidale?

why did you buy an ebay alarm???

didn't get it off ebay, got it through envy systems (www.envysystems.com.au) , mate of mine bought one and had it fitted to his subi through them and says it's great. He had some kids break into his house and the first he knew of it was when he heard his car start, they'd made it three blocks by the time he shut it down and ll they got away with were a couple of cd's and the boost gauge they ripped off the dash. because of the system he was able to locate and start his car without keys and get it back in the driveway before the cops even arrived, can't argue too much with that i thought.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
