pay a little extra and get a tracker instead , no one takes any notice of sirens going these days , an alarm provides no protection at all , its the imobiliser that provides some protection especialy one thats well fitted and hard to find .

a tracker if its self monitored it costs almost nothing after instalation and gives you the best protection ,you can imobilise the car at any time with any phone and you know if anyone is tempering with it ,it calls you .

i dont know anyone in melbourne but i have a ezitrak in mine and i do the monitoring myself ( it rings my phone ) so it costs nothing , i have a vodafone sim in it and only pay if i do any calls , if someone steals it and i have to track it it costs 1 cent per second for the call .

you can buy this unit here for just under $1000 , i fitted it myself but you can have it fitted here all up $1250 .

it uses gps to track the car so it works everywhere unless its underground it will call you if anyone tempers with it and it will tell you what they are doing ( like door open , battery cut and so on ) it will then give you the location and if moving the direction and the speed and if you have your laptop with you and the software you can actualy see your car moving on the map with street names . you have the option of imobilising the car at any time from your phone .

a forum member that fits these things was booked by the police for doing 85 k in a 60 k zone , when he got home he recalled the log in his computer and it clearly showed that he was only doing 58 k . so he is going to go to court if he has to to prove that he wasnt speeding . thats another way you may benefit from the tracker , dont waste your money on alarms they are useless . a top of the range alarm will set you back say $800 for a little more fit a tracker .

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
