Guys.

Just read this on another forum

http://www.search.asic.gov.au/cgi-bin/gns0...t=ACN&srchsrc=1

It appears brant has gone into administration, so you may not be able to get support on your alarm systems.

Sorry thats all the infomation I have.

p.s.. if this is a repost.. keep smart ass remarks to your self. :(

plus plenty of support from insurers. I have heard some stuff cases where their systems were not quite all that. but I guess like all these alarms if you are trained in installing them, it's a piss of cake to disable them. and that's the problem so many people installing Brant alarms. sure they have security licences (or should) but that's no guarantee of their good character.

Thats the case with any alarm mate , if you know what you are doing you can start the car in seconds .

I have a 02 sti with the brant keypad ( a pain in the ass i might add ) . Every time the battery gets low you have to go back to Suabaru to get a master code put in and the good thing about it has to go on a tilt tray . People are paying for the tow track $80- 150 + 45-60 to the suby dealer just for 2 minutes work . They wont give you the master code for obvious reasons .

My battery went flat a few weeks ago and when it wouldnt accept the code i desided it was time to bypass it . It took me about 10 minutes to locate the unit and about 10 minutes to work out how to bypass it . Now that i know how its done i can do it in about 30 seconds , so much for the fantastic brant keypad system .

I may add that the sti has another brant unit in it that is controlled by the subaru key ( a little button on it ) and a third one that comes with the car from japan .

All very easy to bypass with a little know how .

on the topic of easily bypassed, i would say most factory fitted alarms are easy to get around. They would all be installled the same and once a weakness if found the car is fair game. If I was buying a wrx I would not get it with an alarm and have a custom one installed.

I had a Brant in my Soarer - it was the most useless alarm i've used. Had to practically hold the transmitter on the car to lock it, yet on quite a few occasions i'd be walking away from my car (20-50m) and i'd hear my car unlock (no idea how that happened, but i had to walk back to the car to lock it!). Transmitter batteries lasted about 2 months because you had to hold the button down for about 3 seconds to lock/unlock it

No idea about how easy it was to bypass, but it just gave me the shits. Young and Cool insurance required it though. Alot of people i know had gone back several times for replacement modules...

For about $1200 -1300 you can get a tracker , why pay $1 k for an alarm ?

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
