Well I got my M80 Installed. Alarm is pretty good. But I'm going to take it back to GL Pro Sound. For some reason when i went for a longish drive (went for a drive with a mate to Frankston and then turned around and went back home). I stopped at a maccas for a stretch and to get something to drink. My GReddy turbo timer was on auto and was up to 9 minutes. No probs turn "off" the ignition, let the turbo timer do its business and arm the alarm. Approx 1 minute after arming the alarm has gone off!! had to disarm and then wait about 2 minutes or so and re-arm. I got back home where it was more quiet and can try to diag the problem. TT was auto set to 2 and a half minutes. got out and arm the alarm. was having a ciggy and I hear what I think is the fuel pump priming or something and then the alarm went off. disarm and rearm and didn't do it again.

Anyone had this same issue (does that mean the fuel pump is on its way out or would that be cause the alarm to go off because it thinks someone is trying to start the motor)

One of my mates dad's does alarm/imob installs for a living so I got a sweet mates rates + beer payment deal :)

I've got a Mongoose system, don't know the model probably the M80 with glass break sensor and window lift kit.

I wasn't sure whether the window lift kit was worth the extra at the time, but I love it! So easy, just close the door walk away and blip its all taken care of.

how are you setting the alarm? car on , timing down - PRESS 1 and HOLD or press 1?

answer that question first and I'll help you with it.

I have been doing it like this

1. car is running (of course)

2. turn off, turbo timer is on and counting down

3. I'm pressing 1 (just press 1 not press 1 and hold)

You have to excuse me if i have been doing something wrong (first time owner of a turbo car).

press and HOLD 1 with the car running on timer, it will chirp, diasble the sensors but still look at the doors and if one is opened it will shut the car down and sound the alarm.

once the car times out it will chirp again and bring the sensors online.

make sure it works on ALL doors. I have seen too many of them that only trigger on the drivers door.

if it DOES NOT chirp when you do the above they DID NOT turn the function on. if you have the book enable option 13. you will need to TOTALLY disconnect the timer for this to work.

let me know how you go.

I tried it last night...didn't work..do you want me to disable the impact sensor (by pressing 1 then 2)...Although when i was trying just normally, it went off again...the alarm was was going off but the motor was still running. check on the led light what triggered it off - it said that the impact sensor was triggered...I'll keep trying

I have a gsm paging alarm in mine which i think is more useful than those pagers where you have to be standing next to the car...can also arm or disarm via gsm. Just need a prepaid sim card to run it

Got links to this system, Sir Duncan?

nah ring me in the morn. details in sig. they didnt do it right.

Hey Chris, all fixed. the silly buggers did not have the turbo timer function turned on so they did and turned down the shock senor as well. It's at a good level but not so sensitive that the car is going to trigger the alarm while the TT is counting down

Hi guys,

digging up an old thread; I need to find somewhere in Adelaide to install a Mongoose M80G in my stagea, someone who has at least worked on imports... does anyone know of a good place in Adelaide who has worked on imports? I have seen some dodgy alarm installs... I'll be pulling as much off as I can to make it easier for them... but yeah don't want anyone making a mess of my wiring.

Thanks

This thread is old but I will post with a question my problem.

S1 Stagea with a Mongoose M60 alarm. When it was installed something like 6 years ago the installer didn't/couldn't work out how to install it with the decaying interior lights. So when I close the door I have to wait the 30sec or so before alarming otherwise I get the "your door is open" chirps... which is fine just annoying but as I don't drive the car much I havn't bothered to fix it.

Can someone tell me how to fix it or do I need a "profesional" installer? I'm in Brisbane Samford area.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
