Looks like I'll have a M35 Stagea in my driveway later this week or early the week after. First thing's first, it'll need an alarm.

I believe the M35's have keyless entry, so I really want an alarm that will integrate with the standard keys - I don't want to have to unlock the car with my keys and then disarm the alarm with a keyfob or something like that.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a quality system and installer in SA?

Thanks

I know Ryan (bigkevracer) just had one put in at Auto Perfection and i will probably follow suit as he has now done one so know whats involved.

He opted for a stand alone unit due to the cost factor if you had to replace a stock key or if one failed.

Yep, Auto Perfection did an ok job, and the alarm fob unlocks and disarms the alarm.

Dunc got his done at GT Autosound. I was going to go this way but George wanted to fix the standard alarm and fit an upgrade, and I was convinced by reading on here that the standard one would continue to cause me issues.

You probably have the dealer option alarm, with a sensor on the left hand side dash near the a pillar. Thats what was in mine.

Doubt youd have an immobiliser unless it was fitted at compliance, mine didnt have one. Wasnt included in the factory alarm upgrade.

Now it does though :thumbsup:

Are the factory alarms worthless then? Just cause trouble?

I don't think the factory alarms are totally worthless, it's just that they seem to have been mostly installed without the best work practices. If, at the first sign of trouble, you replace the crimp on connectors with soldered joints you may find it lasts the life of the car. I never had a problem with mine so far, but the sensors (I've got two) tend to be a bit sensitive so leaving the window or sunroof cracked is out of the question (except if you use the black tape mod lol).

But if you've got security concerns then there are better devices to be sure. But one button entry is nice to have.

I have one button entry, its just a different button.

I have a feeing youre right Leon, probably be fine if you replace the scotch locks with solder. But with mine playing up I didnt want to stuff around with it.

Im not sure if you can get something to work with the standard key if you rip out the factory alarm, but the point was made to me how many keys will you have? Probably one, and theyre at least $110 each...

Correct, George ripped out my Jap-spec alarm/immobiliser, and fitted a new unit. It has a little fob, and Ive had new keys cut that dont have any buttons - so no unnecessary bulk. I should be back on Thursday/Friday if you wanted to check it out :thumbsup:

I may well do that, thanks Dunc!

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
