and depending on which autowatch unit you are looking it it will conform to aust stds. the mannix item I have seen branded under 3-4 names and have fitted several. work fine for the intended application. autowatch would be my pick.

yep, I got an Autowatch system installed a few weeks ago. The installer will give you a certificate to say that it complies... for your insurance agency.

I got the 2nd from the top alarm/immobiliser. It's pretty good, except the installer was having some issues with the remote distance. (A case of positioning the transmit wire a bit better).

Cost me $550, http://www.autowatch.com.au/product.asp 446Premium, with the 4-button remote. Other brands had big, ugly remotes... this one has a built-in turbo timer, "car finder" feature, and I had the guy put a solenoid in the boot so the dual-stage unlock will pop the boot for me. (very handy when you're coming back to the car with a bunch of shopping)

The guy who did it for me is from "Security In Motion", but just call Autowatch if you're interested, and ask for a local installer to you.

    • I mean down here I get absolutely nothing, and I'm driving around with a V8 version. I say "absolutely nothing" but the actual instances I can remember on one hand, and funnily enough were all in Sydney, not Melbourne. Specifically one very insistent guy hanging out of his window, pointing to the engine bay, then giving me an exaggerated thumbs up. That and one guy a decade ago who was an American who had clearly just seen his first R34 ever in person, and seemed surprised when I was like "Oh dude you'll see them everywhere" but this was 2010. But 99.99% of the time it gets no looks from absolutely anyone, ever.  BIG CAVEAT: SEDAN
    • It never really happened in Australia until more recently. They first started coming in in the 90s and most people wondered what these weird looking cars were, and that's about. There was a little bit of fanboi stupidity after F&F. But more recently, now that you seldom see a Skyline on the road (because they have either all been drifted into trees or stashed in sheds and never driven), I'm getting regular instances of massive thumbs up and smiles, a few guys wanting to take photos (and asking politely!). It's kind of good. Makes me think I've done the right thing by keeping the car as my daily across the 25 years I've had it. You still get dropkicks gesturing for you to do a burnout. Idiots.
    • Ok so the other test that seems easy enough (with the right equipment) would be to check what pressure the pump produces when its on. If its in spec its probably safe to just replace the pressure switch, and if not it makes sense to replace the whole unit. Does that sound sensible? EDIT: Do you have a spare pressure switch you want to sell?
    • Decided to remove the clutch booster as it’s more things that can go wrong and it frees up a lot of room and means less vacuum lines running around the engine bay  old one out and on the floor  new one ready to go back in  installed! I haven’t swapped the slave onto it yet, I will wait until the engine and box are in to see if I need to change the line or any thing
    • Yeah exactly the switch unit just needs to be designed with those numbers (or thereabouts, obviously the high one is the more dangerous if you don't get it right). It would be worth contacting FPG, they are pretty responsive and might be able to add to their lineup with you M35 information, the have 80% sorted already from the GTR one. https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/
