Hey guys

Ok i have bought a new alarm security system off the net and I was wondering if anyone knew of a reasonably priced joint that would install it for me.

My old man checked out 3 places today and the prices for installation were.... 800bucks!!!! $550 and $350.. geez talk about one extreme to the other.

By the way, the place that said 550 dollars will not however install the remote start since i have a manual etc...

I'll keep looking around but if there is anyone out there that could recommend me a reliable and hopefully more affordable place that would be sweet!!

Thanks

btw somewhere on the southside would be best

Out of interest, does this alarm have coloured wiring and external relays? 90 percent of the internet bought alarms do, and these are NOT a valid alarm for insurance. Insurance specifies 2 stage immobilisation, internal relays and all black wiring.

Just a heads up before you blow a lot of money getting an alarm installed, only to find your insurance voided if you ever need to claim a theft etc.

refer to the thread below regarding stereo installs. You will find that most reputable installers will not install remote start to a manual car. And also as per Krawlers advice above as well. If its not black wiring, might affect your insurance claim.

Yeap so i have found out about the remote start to a manual car... The place that will do it for 350, which is the cheapest so far will do it and they will also include some safeguard that will disable the remote start if it is accidently in gear. I'm not too sure how it all works.

thanks

Always had great results with Mongoose. Had a total of 4 cars that have been installed with a Mongoose alarm (2 x work vans, 1 x VL, 1 x Skyline) and its worked a treat every time. Recently the siren failed on 1 of the work vans, and they came out to me and replaced it free.

All Mongoose alarms are to australian & international standards + meet insurance requirements, even the bottom of the line stuff. Be wary of Viper and Black Widow etc, as only the higher end stuff meets insurance requirements. Had a brand alarm in my laser when I first got it, which is basically identical to the majority of the ones you see for sale on ebay etc. External relays, coloured wires, etc. Remote start too. Even with the alarm armed, you could just unplug the alarm module from its loom and happily start the car etc with no siren going off. Way to go awesome alarm!

Chris Rogers (SoundOff) reccomends QuickTrack sat tracking over any others, mainly due to far more coverage than other networks. I've never used it myself though.

I just installed a alarm system which I happened to buy off ebay as well. It had remote start as well. I know you can purchase a module from Autobarn to stop your car starting in gear which hooks up to your alarm.

I was quoted similar prices as yourself, so I installed the alarm my self into my GTR R33. Everything works perfectly - remote start, doors locking,unlocking, etc.

If you need some advice or help in a DIY install, I should be able to help.

Sry to drag this thread up again...but I just bought an alarm (yeah off ebay lol). I checked around and it's the same one they sell in Strathfield for $300 but got it for $165, has black wiring, 2 point etc...no remote start which I don't care about anyway. Strathfield loosely quoted about $150 to install it with a lifetime guarantee on the install. Still checking around but that seems pretty good to me.

I think $150 is a good price to install an alarm. When I bought mine through ebay :Oops: they wanted like $350.00 to install.

No way I'm paying that since I only purchased the alarm for $170.00

I installed it myself but I did get a Car Alarm installer to install the drivers door lock actuator which locks the door when you press the alarm keypad. This was done for $60.00 - not too bad I think

It took a while to install but took my time and I had remote starting so took a little longer, but its perfect now.

You should also note that any decent installer will, however, hook up a remote start to a manual vehicle if the vehicle's turbo timer is on. IE. The remote start is wired through the turbo timer so that if the timer is on, the remote start works. If the timer is off, then the remote start won't work. Reason being that if your timer was on the last time you turned the car off, then it should naturally be in neutral. (of course there are ways that this can be different so I don't need every idiot telling me how you can get around this)

Advance Radio at slacks creek will do the install for you and they are usually pretty cheap too. They can also set up the remote start for you. They also make and sell the remote start modules.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By Duncan · Posted

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By S1_C34 · Posted

      I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.

      Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.

      Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
