Hi Guys,

Just wondering if any of you have changed a M80 siren? As far as I can tell the replacement Battery Back-up Siren only has 4 wires - I'm thinking of just disconnecting the battery and connecting up the wires appropriately. This looks like a very easy job - but I was wondering is there any tricks that need to be done before hand or afterwards in order for this to go smoothly?

The Auto-Elec wants $50 to do this (but if he is just going to splice the wires and connect them up - it sounds like a 5 minute job) - Don't want to sound like a scrooge but the money will be better kept in my pocket if this is the case. Any advice would be much appreciated :)

Hi mate,

I just had one done for that alarm in one of my cars. Didnt need to disconnect battery and didnt need to do anything special from the looks of it.

Cut wires and reconnect.

If you do want to get it done properly (and cost effective) go and see Daniel from Carbon Car Systems in Sydney.

Hope this helps.

Thanks heaps for the response man!

Unfortunately I'm in Melb so Carbon Car Systems is out :( I called around another few places today - one guy actually wanted $108 in addition to the replacement part price (while that doesn't sound completely excessive, especially if he is going to pull the whole dash out and rewire the whole thing, but from speaking to him and grilling him a bit - I got the feeling he was just going to cut into the old wiring). But you have been a great help and have given me a lot more confidence now - so I'm sure I can do it myself! :) Cheers

      Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
