Checked recent Posts/threads and theirs nothing useful to help me so ill start a new thread!

Ive read in past threads not to trust brant security anymore as one of their installers is stuffing up...

Im really interested in Viper and Clifford Alarms, and was wondering what would be the best company to get it installed through?

I need it urgently as my insurance states i need to get an immobiliser alarm by wednesday of this week to be covered :)

Im looking to spend maximum $850...has anyone had a viper or clifford installed? and if so where did you get it installed, or if anyone knows of where i can get this type of syystem installed would be greatly appreciated

Also Remote ignition start, how come they say you cant have it for Automatic Transmission, yet some people say you can have it for manual

Thanks in advance :(

tim... it doesnt matter what alarm u have in ur car, if they want something from it or the car itself they will get it.

get any half decent alarm... dont go spending a fortune on an alarm.

get danny from autotrust to do it for ya... and if you're real nice to him you can wake him up at 3am for after sales service when your battery dies and you can't do a rolling start of the car. :P He's on the forums and he does a top notch job, even goes out of the way to make sure everything is neat n tidy and inconspicuous under the bonnet and behind the kick plates.

Just don't mention roosters or vortexes around him...

he did my viper couple of years back and I've never had any problems with the alarm cept for when i trigger valet mode by mistake when i have the door open.

and if you're real nice to him you can wake him up at 3am for after sales service when your battery dies and you can't do a rolling start of the car.

lmao oh what a funny night that was...

Yea thanks for your help guys

And u have a point nark but i sleep easier knowing i have sensors on every inch of my car :P just in case some lil toss is trying to get :) i can get outside in time...

Im definately going to go with danny at auto trust, after receiving some other quotes :)

Go to any freeway car audio store, there one in dande and 1 of my friends works at the malvern one. They can install those alarms

are you talking about ricki? Ever since he has become the manager of the Malvern store, he has become the biggest f*cken arrogant tosspot...to the point where I think Im gonna have a word with Michael about it

    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
