Have a Look at black wire based ones most brand are just as good as each other, you usally pay for the brand in that price range, a major part is where the alarm installer installs the unit etc from the thief if they get into the car. Hard to define a brand cos eac have there pro's and con's what features would u want?? eg. like auto start etc :)

if i had a GTR i sure as hell would be spending more than $500 on my alarm, but im sure u have reasons 4 it, and pls dont tell me its cause u just dont wanna spend to much!!!

mongoose are good and u can prolly get a decent one for around $500, also brands like flashpoint, cobra, pirahna and viper are good.....actually anything that sounds like an animal that could kill ya pretty quick is a safe bet.

make sure u get black wired and try for at least 3point immob.

and play dealers and installers off against each other as they will usually drop their prices considerably to beat their competitors, that and the fact that they are grossly overpriced to begin with.

good luck mate

Personaly im going for a Boomerang, which costs $1000

The Brant Nemisis is also in that range. Quiktrak is $2k installed then $300 a year, but I have been told doesn't work well in car parks/underground and is only a 3 point immobiliser so can leave you vulnerable to parts theft.

According to Brant, all of these alarms will be upgradable with a tracking module when it becomes available (at the moment there is only some vague "watch out for this feature" statement on their website).

They range from $350 - over $1000 "but this includes install". Now, lots of people like to do their own but its a job you dont need to do, I have personally watched them do several and the guy is good at what he does, havent had any probs with thier system, I would go for thier base alarm with key pad (six digit security code imobilisation) its about the $500 mark..

If you go for a boom-and- bang (Boomerang) it needs to be set up properly and I have heard of many issues with them, ask amaru, there biggest point is the remote start and pager, which is great if you want your car to jump into another car or a curb? or you want dick heads to be paging u everytime they walk past your car.

I have a mate also with a talking alarm, it scares the shit out of people and has the keep away form me affect.. they seam to work well, how ever they go off all the time...

If you get a cheep alarm you open your self to all kinds of trouble, such as having to re-do the job cause its failing, get one that just goes off all the time for no reason, or one that just dont work..

I would once again recommend brant, they do it for you, they warant both the alarm and the install, and they are not that highly priced, and they will go to just about anywhere..

PLUS if you organise more than one car you can get discounts for it.. if people in canberra wanna organise a few to get them let me know and I will organise something as I am planning to get one done myself.

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Yea, that is what I was getting at in my ramblings too. The nismo one actually is a 1.5 way and a 1 way. They don't do a *2* way because a true *2* way would have equal ramp angles. Or is that a true 1.5 way? Realistically I think a "1.5 way" does not actually exist. A diff can either lock in two directions or one. It also doesn't help that a LOT of people in Australia speak about 1.5 way diffs are referring to their 1 way diff.

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.
