Hey guys, Wanting to get my car alarm installed, im on the gold coast, i dont really have the time to take the car to a workshop at the moment nor do i really trust them.

there was a user on here that had his own business and that was based in brisbane, i cant remember his name nor any threads he has posted in... but he came out to you...

would like to try and find this user again OR do any of you suggest someone that i can talk to about installing this?

Thanks

CJ

Yeh i was in touch with him last night, looks like ill have to try and take the car up to him though. :D

It's a ball ache but it will be worth it ;) when some ghetto rat tries to take it and fails it will make it all worth it:)

yeh its acually working out alright, big day for the car tho lol.

6am - guy comming to do gaurd rolling

7.45am - wheel alignment and full setup

10am - powertune and connecting up some extra goodies now that iv run the motor in

4pm - over to chris's to stay there the night

lol. problem is im now stuck in brissy without a way home haha

There's this thing called a train, apparently you can catch it and it'll take you from Brisbane to the Gold Coast and other various locations. Crazy I know, exactly what I thought.

haha anyway on a serious note, I was chattin to Chris not long ago and I'd have to do the same thing and drop it up there, can't wait till i finish uni so I can go full time and have enough money! When's the car going up, and how much?

Also how much to get the guards rolled? my fronts need it bad!

well.... he quoted me 400-600 for the install. but the car didnt make it to him tongiht.

My new clutch was slipping so i couldnt even get the car power tuned....

so in my frustration i ordered a new twin plate clutch and bought a new car! :@

wondered what happened today. I gto the phone call mid arvo and folllowed most of it. now it makes more sense.

to those asking for costs : best not to. I work on a car by car basis and as EVLWOG (hi laurie!) will tell you with his I seriously DID NOT FK around with it when I did it.

hehe!!

anyone else will take too long to get into it let alone find things in that car.. see ya late thurs.

thanks for the compliment. (the R33 will be done the same way.)

I realise this thread is a bit old now, but I still wanted to add my 2c.

I just had an alarm installed in my R32 GTST by Chris at Audio Express, I can't express how happy I am with the job done.

Not only did he install my alarm PROPERLY, he also managed to fix the reception on my stereo, ripped out the "baby turbo timer" that came with the car, since the alarm now handles this, tidied up the god-awful install job that was done on my e-Boost 2 controller, removed a bunch of wiring that went to nothing (last owner must have decided to remove whatever it was, but left the switches/wiring behind), he re-used some existing components from a previous alarm after testing them to be sure they worked fine (saving me money) and even tightened up the after market shifter nob that I had been too lazy to fix.

On top of all of that, each time I called him with some random question about the system, etc, he was always happy to provide answers.

So a big +1 to Chris at Audio Express, I can't recommend him highly enough.

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
