Any suggestions to what is a good mongoose alarm system?

and also is it worth tying it in with the stock central locking (so you can use the oem remote) or do you think its easier to get it re-done?

Highly recommend Cyclops.

Australian Brand and well priced

The P375B is great value for money.

not too bad and good for those on a budget. still sell the odd one myself.

as for best - how deep are your pockets?? (or how paranoid are you??)

I got a viper 2 way and I hate it I leave my car for like 2 days and it struggles to start up.

that has nothing to do with your alarm in 99% of the cases,but weak battery/bad connections or poor tune on the car

Directed Electronics(viper,python,and a few other big names) has lifetime warranties on parts if professionally installed, but batteries inside siren can fail after a 3-4 years , quicker if you run the main car battery flat a few times

best alarm is ADR compliant for insurance reasons , and used 100% of the time even in your garage, as a multi layered security approach.

and installed by someone who knows how "pro" to hide it, and wire properly

and common sense on when and where you leave your car.

viper used to be good, but these days, along with the rest of the DEI gear, it seems fairly average quality wise. probably the best bang for buck tho.

quality is best/features IMO (lifetime warranty on hardware if pro installed, great tech support ) but not a Australian approved device without adding some extra bits.

don't forget they make a lot of different levels of alarms

Viper,Python,etc

to tell you the truth car theft here is really bad compared to the USA, shocking bad to be exact.

flaming mongrels , in USA you have guns and "make my day" laws and judges who throw crims in the prison for doing it !!!...lol so crims might think twice before toying with your pride and joy

Mongoose M80G mate, I got mine installed the other day.

Brought it for $279 as it was on special and my mate that worked with auto electrical for more then 20 years and he installed for me. All i gave him was cartoon off beer :D

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
