Fella's after an opinion on alarms that are suitable for adelaide vehicles. I realise some of the pager or GPS systems arent set up to work here yet (or never), and would like to know if there are any favourites amongst you all.

Things like costings and where to get installed would also help.

Check out the standards.

Not many come up to scratch.

Here's a link to some requirements which is pretty high from Young and Cool Insurance.

Here is a link to the Immobiliser/Alarm that they recommend.

I looked in to it and they are a very good alarm. Black wire etc etc

The alarm version is around $600.

for me i just got an alarm from autobarn cause a few of my friends got the same one ... i say just go to a reputable shop and ask to see what they have .. .check out the specs to see if it meets your needs ... can vary in price alot ... but i think its also important to park your car in secure places and not to rely solely on the alarm ...

anybody have good or bad things to say about the Boomerang system. Seems like an expensive option, but good to know that the alarm will page you if it goes off (and you are in range) rather than relying on other peoples reaction to a blarring car alarm.

i cannt find any info of tracking systems operating in adelaide

the subscription to these would be a pain in the a$$, but nice piece of mind

have heard stories of tracking boxes being found on the road where a stolen car was once parked..... i suppose not hidden well enough

U would need a GPS based tracking system in that case, Brant does this but would cost just under 2k. Maybe you can find another similar but i doubt it would be cheap. If the tracking system was found out of the car then im thinking the guy had to much time with the car, the tracking system main purpose is to alert someone that it is being stolen/broken into, so you can take action agaist this.

I put a boomerang in with all the options, i believe it is the best investment i have made in the car. I love all the options it gives you, and i wouldn't put anything else in my car's now.

I've got a clifford Alarm Arrow 2 and that isn't certified as it isn't Australian Certified.

So If the car got stolen and I was insured with them they wouldn't cover it.

Also you need to get a place to fill out the certificate they gave you.

I ended up going with Famous Car insurance in WA as they were 1093 with the mods listed FMIC didn't increase the $$ as it doesn't increase performance. :)

And they do fortnightly direct debits. That will come in handy in 2 months when I go to uni. No money.. :) argggg

I've got a boomerang system in the R34.Haven't bothered to find out about all the options yet.It does seem to work well, but I never leave the car anywhere unsecure so it hasn't been set off before(touch wood).The battery does seem to go flat very quickly.

The EVO doen't have an alarm or a stereo.Will have to look into that(when I get it that is)

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi
