Hiya all,

Just placed my deposit on a skyline. (Nice !!! My first skyline)

Came upon this forum through a fren and many of the discussions here realli helped in helping mi make decisions. (ThanKs)

OKie .. I have been offered $6** to put up a autowatch alarm system 446. I believe this dosen come with the turbo timer option. Was then told that the 446 will not work with other TTs and i would have to wait for the TT to shut down before i can arm the arlam?? (Pretty stupid rite)

I was then offered the autowatch 456 which comes with the TT incorparated but it cost $9**. How much are u guys paying for a alarm system like this?? How much would it cost to install a 446 and a HKS TT if i were to do it separately. Should i just go for the 456 and have everything incorparated? Anyone who has used the aboved mentioned systems and could kindly PM mi contacts for installation.

Thanks

Jay

i haf a cyclops alarm system. it doesnt haf the turbo timer option.

My installer simply hooked my alarm up to my accesories which allows me to arm my alarm but also keeps my accessories runnin til the engine stops. ie. air-con still runs.

This is not the perfect solution, but its not the worse.

everything works as it all should. Had the TT for over 6 months now and nothing has fkd up.

I'm not familiar with all the autowatch product lines but it sounds expensive? I paid less than $600 for my 160RLi almost 3 years ago, including motion and shock sensors, integrating my Pivot Turbo Timer, central locking hookup and one of the cleanest installs I've ever seen. I get out the car, still running on TT, arm it and walk away. Haven't had any problems.

Not sure how the 160RLi compares to the 446 or 456 you mention though.

Okie guys ..

Here is it.

Brant AA02A with Blitz TT ($900 plus)

or

Auto watch 456 ($660 plus)

or

Auto watch 456 with TT option. ($900 plus)

Anyone can comment on the diff between a Brant and a Auto watch secuitry system?

I read somewhere in the threads that its possible for auto watch to be used with aftermarket TTs? Anyone can advice?

Read some good and bad reviews bout Brant systems too.. How is it compared to Auto watch?

Tks

      Chris' R34 GTT Series 2

      Sorry for resurrecting an oldish thread Not much has happened in the past year since the last update. The car did another 1000 miles or so and failed the MOT for the first time in October (failed on tyres which had been advised for a couple of years) In October the car got put up for sale and was removed in November due to no interest, being so close to christmas it was to be expected. The roads were dry in February so I decided to tax it early and get the new tyres fitted.   Fast forward to April, I got someone in to give the car a good clean after sitting for the winter.                                 The car got re-advertised and today (Saturday 3rd May) the car sold. The new owner is planning a GTR conversion at some point and a respray in the same pearl white. It's bitter sweet, it's a shame to have the car sit there for half the year and then only do 1000 miles. The kids are growing too quick and space in the back is getting limited. It's been a great 6.5 years of ownership

      And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.

      No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.

      2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.
