Hey All,

i was wondering about something...

All these cars that get stolen, that we unfortunately read about every day, i was just wondering what type of security did they have?

I just installed Brant NEMESIS Alarm in my car last week, and from all the stuff they told me and I read about the alarm, there is no possible way that anyone can steal it in the time that I will be away from the car....

I guess theres always the quote "If they really want to, they will" but it would be very hard to do it in short time...

I am so paranoid parking at any cinema, and its getting to the point where im also getting paranoid parking at Macquarie centre because i heard that a few Skylines got stolen from there aswell.

I guess ill be taking my dad's applause whenever i wanna catch a flick....its sad that we cant even take our cars to the movies these days.

Saddened,

Goran

Yeah - I share your concerns - However, I'm not so worried about someone knocking off my car , as I have two seperate top of the range alerms installed.

I'm more worried about someone coming up to me with a gun, telling me to hand over the keys. That %hit is deadly. Short of carrying a baseball bat in the car - what do you do ??

There are too many Skylines getting ripped off these days.

If you want a top shelf alarm, theres a place called Into Sound in Bondi Junction that do all my work. They spend a lot of time on installation and are the only place that ive seen that bothers to actually hide the alarm module somewhere where thieves wont even find it.

Plus they can customise it with a few internal sirens etc. My alarm has a piezo screamer under each side of the dash so if a thief tries to put his head under the dash to fiddle with my wiring he will definately go deaf :P

The boss David definately knows his stuff about alarms and he takes pride in his work.

9389 9655, ask for David and tell him that George with the blue 200sx xcuzme sent you and he'll look after you. Give him a call and he'll tell you what your options are...

croat also got his alarm there, and cereal_jacques got his stereo there and as far as i know they're very happy with the work done ;)

Hows it going george... Yeah rac33r go with into sound they do a top job!!! I paid $700 for my alarm system and all seems to be good... i had a few ppl look at it after and all said it was done well. as George said give 'into sound' a call and speak to David cause i am more than sure he can fix you up for a good price.

Goodluck.

NEMESIS rox !

cost me a 1000 big ones, but worth it if you ask me.

Amen to that!!

i liked the one on the skyline, only had one instance where the siren stopped working, but that was it.

i think i'll do the nemesis on the 180.

Fyi, a sti with the nemisis system was stolen from wollongong last night so dont go cheering all around...

When i was playing with the system in my mates wrx with a nemesis i had a look at how it was installed and it was down right shocking, was one of the mobile brant guys.

the nemesis system is good PROVIDING it is installed with time, care and patience, which is something the brant guys dont do since theyre pretty busy. ;)

On my old lancer this mobile guy installed a flashpoint alarm into it in like an hour. A year later im driving along in qld doing 120 on the freeway and the car just turns off, steering, brakes, the lot.

Pull over, nrma/racq has no idea whats going on, then suddenly the car turns on again by itself. Was fine back to sydney then around the city it kept turning on at off.....so i kept getting stranded in the middle of the road. Turned out the guy didnt install it on the right circuits and it fried the alarm :)

The alarm system is half of the solution, and the installation is a very important other half...

David wouldn't even tell ME where he hid the alarm in my 'line......:lol:

I would recommend Into Sound to anyone. They're extremely good at what they do and they're a bunch of really nice guys too.......

Actually, I'm a little scared to go back there because David said he would kill me if i sold my car with the system still in it......

XCUZME,

Damn right...

the Brant guy who installed my Nemesis took 4.5 hours to install...so im hoping he did a good job.

Ive got a few friends with the same alarm and all of them are happy with it, so thats why i went with the same thing, and i know Brant is a pretty popular brand.....

but youre damn right about the alarm being only half the job, and a good installation the other half

What about Quiktrak guys?

As long as the system WORKS, if your car gets stolen there will be less damage than there would have otherwise been + a higher chance of catching the crooks.

And if you get carjacked, you're happier to hand it over because they can track it.

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      The price isn't the issue, it's how hard my fuel pump is to remove now. I fabricated a custom bracket so my pump sits on the very bottom of the tank (I ran the tank down to 5L remaining to test it, works well). But it is a fkn NIGHTMARE to get the pump down into the tank now =/ words can't describe how much I hate fighting with the fuel pump/hanger now. The other issue is reliability, I'm driving down for WTA in a couple of months, I'd be less then impressed if I was half way to Sydney from Brisbane and my pump fails again =/ The other issue I had was my car battery was slowly failing, with low battery voltage my fuel pump couldn't keep up with what the reg was asking from it. I've replaced the battery and my fuel pressure is back to being perfect.  As for the low voltage situation that killed my previous battery, I've got a 150amp alternator sitting on my desk waiting to go in. Fingers crossed that will sort that issue.

      OK so I just bidded $500 on an R33 GTS4 that no one seems to want. Waiting on a call from the agent to see if I won. 32 GTS4 is for sale. I can't deal with the temptation to mod it.

      Might be there for work later in the year. Wouldn't mind catching up with you fellas - can't have too many beers, but will consume copious amounts of takoyaki while executing an asian squat on the side of the road while you blokes sort out your hangovers.

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      By Duncan · Posted

      I know one example is a anecdote not data, but I'm running the same Aeroflow 525 at full voltage through a regular relay, and while I've had other fuel problems including melting the factory fuel hat, the pump itself has been fine for years. Of course, they aren't *that* expensive these days, you could swap in a new one and see if the issue is resolve. I think you had a previous thread about fuel problems, have you been monitoring and logging fuel pressure? Is there anything voltage related (for example does the voltage go up when the pressure goes down)
