I dont know how the second one says "actual Size"...when it depens on what res you got on your pc..hehehe its damn big if you got it on 640x480~ hehe

Nah seriously, i'd go the boomerang. Ive got friends that have them, they are good. Only thing i dont like about it, is you got the cables hanging everywhere cuase the sensor has to be some where open...it looks bad...see how you go.

The Benxon alarm looks like a pretty much copy of the Boomerang.

It has 5 buttons though, must mean easier access to options,

where as the boomerang, there are only 3 buttons hence you

must press them a multitude of times to get to the same feature.

Am i just going around in circles?

The Boomerang overall is a pretty niffy peice of hardware i must

admit. It does have the amplifier box which usually is clipped

to those glare flap things which I think is what OOHSAM was

refering to. It's only one cable about 5mm thick and goes behind

your pillar cover. I'd be suprised if the Benxon alarm didn't have

something simular.

The Boomerangs distance can be shorten drastically by concrete

buildings or buildings in general. This has been tried and proven.

I've seen alarms that state the same figures as the Boomerang

but work no where near as good.

I'm not saying the Boomerang is the best alarm, I know there

are better ones out there but for the functionabilty wise vs others

I've seen and trialed it is still ahead. The cost is the only

drawback. I've only tested the Boomerang so I can't comment on

the other one. Wether you choose to wait or spend more is up to

you.

Just thought i'd put my 2 cents worth with my experiences.

Not wanting to rain on the parade guys but I dont think its a good move to discuss what alarms you all have/are buying especially where you have mentioned the rego of the vehicle concerned on this forum.

Just a thought

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
