Umm viper is a pretty good off the shelf alarm system, comes with imobiliser, actuators, remote keyless entry, boot release and all that jazz, around 300 bucks, should be sweet :)

It's not about the alarm it's about the job. Go ahead and buy a top shelf DEI product. I can guarantee you I will be through it and driving off in less than 3 minutes.

These are certainly Oz stds and Shannon's etc will accept it as a valid unit. DEI products for the most part are more convenience than security.

See how many other people want you to come down to melbourne

There is an old post in this section of the forum that's worth a read!!

Long story short, there are a few different brands out there that aren't too bad, do the job, and have all of the bells and whistles with them, like viper, mongoose, etc.

Unless your car is a transformer, and can defend itself from the scum out there, an alarm will only do so much.. At the end of the day, it all comes down to how much attention you bring to yourself and your car.. Don't park it on the street, and if you do, try park somewhere close by and/or where there are cameras/people watching.. Don't rev the hell out of your car, or crank your stereo in the area you are about to park in.. Be smart about it..

Agreed. However I have a fellow in MLB that was carjacked. Hit the anti hijack switch on the way out and car was saved. Did all the preventative things. Already had one car stolen.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
