Hey guys & girls

Looking for a good place in Perth to install a Mongoose M80G alarm and know what they are doing with it.

Had some stories where things went wrong when not done properly with this system. Any recommendations is much appreciated!

Cheers

Amon

without name dropping a certain car stereo place assed mine up, twice, and still didnt get it right. wherever you go, check they have soldered the wires not just wound them, and make sure you dont have meters of wire just left hidden under stuff. personally from my experience, id avoid places that are basically car stereo places as they are generally 16yo's who dont really know wtf their doing

Yerp I've been caught out by a business before.

They installed the alarm. 3 weeks later it kept going off. Their installer looked at it and said he didn't know how to fix it. And that was it. Brilliant. Stuck with an alarm that goes off for funsies.

Ended up going to Action Alarms in Osborne Park (No sure where they are now?) and they put a whole new system in. Best alarm ever.

I have used them twice. They did my R34 GT-T, came to my house and wired up the alarm including built in turbo timer. Then when I imported my Mitsubishi Legnum VR-4 they came to the compliance workshop and fitted the whole thing.

Excellent product and customer service.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
