Hi rob and welcome to SAU. A few little details. Please ALWAYS use the search function (top right corner of the page) and see if your topic has been covered before. In almost all cases it has. Please DO NOT just make up new topics willy, nilly - we have enough trouble with important information topics being kicked off the front page in no time for the forums to be filled with redundant threads that have been answered before.

So, I suggest you go do a search and check the stickied 'workshop information' thread in the sticked thread section at the top of the SA forum.

i had my alarm installed by GT Autosound......they did an awesome work.....also had dealings with Auto Perfection and loved the service and quality of work from there too mate.....how far down south are you talking and if your willing to drive up a bit north as well :D

or save money....get a viper alarm and you wont regret it.....loads of functions and pretty cheap as well......then get it installed :P

Also one of the easiest alarms to get past if you know what youre doing :D

But in saying that, no alarm is good enough to stop someone from taking your car that knows what theyre doing anyways...

Edited by SkyHi_33
if someone is going to take my car then they are going to do whatever it takes to get it......regardless of what i do mate.....but a viper is a good enough investment for me

Also probably a good idea to not let people know what alarm you have ;P

I know its unlikely that any SAU member will be considering stealing a car but even car crims in lizbef have net access nowadays

-D

Troy you don't even need an alarm to be covered by insurance unless they absolutely made it clear that they wouldn't insure you without one.......if that was the case, they would tell you exactly what to install.

Having said that, best to always air on the side of caution and check with your insurance company as Troy stated....it's only a phone call.

I have no problem whatsoever with a dirty big blue VIPER symbol flashing on my dash window .... and it would seem the crooks do respect it, as I haven't had anyone touch my car (except for one small testing incident) and I park it everywhere. They also don't know it is the black wired version, I have 2 kill switches, and I have 4 of the loudest piezo screamers you have ever heard .... if their ears can take 30-90 seconds of those things going off in their ears while they hotwire the car, then they can have it.

well I've had Just Cars and Shannons and they both require alarms with proper immobilization points for agree coverage on my car

CARSAFE theft stats per car

good old Adelaide, at least they can come first at something..lol

they must meet these regulations

AS/NZS 4601:1999 certified system include:

➜ Automatic immobilisation within 40 seconds

of ignition switch off;

➜ 2 independent points of immobilisation;

➜ Connections enclosed in security housing;

➜ All black security wiring;

➜ Flashing dashboard LED to indicate that the system

is armed; and

➜ Secure owner PIN override.

the alarm is only as good as the install, and the 100% use of it, even when it's in your garage

and there isn't any alarms that can't be cracked by a pro. if they want your car it's gone.

but it will prevent 95% of the other idiots from taking your car

multi layer security is best and common sense, don't leave your car in the hood..lol

YOUR POSTCODE

With 5 or more thefts reported each week, postcode 5108 is one of the highest theft risk locations. We recommend that you read these simple precautions you can take to protect your vehicle from theft.

YOUR CAR

The NISSAN SKYLINE 1998 was not fitted with an immobiliser when it was manufactured and unless it has been fitted with an Australian Standards approved immobiliser since then it is at risk of theft.

New passenger cars sold in Australia are required to have an immobiliser but before 2001 many cars weren't fitted with them. As a result these cars are targets for opportunists to 'hotwire' using something as simple as a screwdriver.

Engine immobilisers provide the most effective barrier available between a thief and your car, as long as you keep your keys safe. Click here for more information.

I am with Just Cars Troy and all they wanted was any alarm with 2 point immobilisation. The original version of my alarm didn't come with black wiring and they didn't give a toss about it when I told them. I even gave them my alarm model number and they looked it up and said it was fine.

so what does an insurance company do when it comes to a pay out if the car is never recovered or burnt to the ground (unable to confirm proper alarm installation if any)........they payout regardless of policy

Well respected insurance companies - such as Shannons - specify a particular standard of alarm system (as per AS/NZS certification) and required documentation to prove installation by an accredited installer - I have both documents noted on my Shannons policy. As for insurance companies such as JC... if one doesn't have anything nice to say, best not to say anything at all.

When I crashed my S15 (my fault) JC were awesome in letting me choose repairer, varying the amount of work done (I added a fg bodykit in leiu of the standard bars they had allowed for). I really can't complain at all.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
