So i just got my first skyline

It has no remote central locking and no alarm system. While i'm at it, i'd like remote start.

I've noticed a huge difference price wise between the main brands (e.g. viper etc) and other no name brands on ebay, but the specs seem to be the same.

Has anyone had any experience in the cheaper alarms? I dont need a state of the art alarm but i dont want to have somthing installed that gives up after a few weeks.

any thoughts?

cheers,

Viper #1

also with the amount of threads of cars getting stolen

dont buy a cheapo if you value your car

really? so you are happy with an alarm that only drops the starter?

autowatch for me thanks. drops 3 ckts requires a proper installer to fit the thing and its oz stds - something the viper is not.

all comes down to who installs it, no matter what alarm system it is the install is the main issue because you get lazy installers who dont solder and leave wires exposed so be carefull who you take it to.

I've also been looking at the ebay ones compared to ones in autobarn. The ebay ones (for $45) have the same specs - sometimes more - than the ones in the stores. Might just buy a cheapo one and see how it performs, not a huge loss if it packs in on me, car is always locked away so can always get a expensive one.

cheers,

remote start is highly illegal in Australia (ADR rules suck)and a defect

so is the turbo timer function of some car alarms

and check your insurance, cause some won't cover you unless it is an AUSTRALIAN approved model

some shops won't install ebay crap, and a how about a warranty ?? shop local, buy local for support reasons

don't try to install it yourself

a guide for approved car alarms and other info

Another option is GPS tracking systems, I fit them for www.intellitrac.com.au, basic tracking systems starting from $299 fitted might be an option for use. If you need more info feel free to pm me

Hi guys,

I'm the Australian Government and we don't want anyone to have unique or interesting cars, because, you know, only hoons drive nice cars.

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
