Security System

[G_Force]

Hi,

Just picked up my R34 a few days ago. Just wanna know if i should upgrade the security system in it and if so which one to go for? I think the alarm thats in it is a Cyclops alarm/immobiliser. I dunno if i should be spending $$ to upgrade it(if it can be upgraded) or put the $$ to somewhere a lil more useful like gettin more Hp

Whats your budget for an alarm (if you can put a price on security B) )

I got a Cheetah 777 installed for $500 in June last year. Has all the usual tricks with entry and engine immobilisation plus it won't arm itself if you are near the car with the transponder (working on the car/@ petrol station) and it will arm itself if you forget to press the button and walk away.

There are many on the market, it comes down to preference and what you want it to do....

Well i would assume that the alarm i got which came with the car has at least 2 points of immobilisation, i think thats the min standard. Which 2 im not sure. And it's probly got a glass break sensor as well which is the most common, i know there isn't any extra microwave devides. Whether this is sufficient im not sure, just tryin to get an idea of wot u guys out there have got. Ive heard of security systems that will let u know (via mobile) if ur cars alarm is goin off, no idea how much they would cost tho.

Im also plannin to get a turbo timer soon and im not sure how this will work in conjuction with the immobiliser which cuts in 30secs after u leave the car. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the reply Topaz.

The guys at Action Alarms integrated my turbo timer into the alarm as well . I am not sure whether this was an extra feature from the lower models or not.....

Very clean install as well, I would recommended them

I got my system from Action as well, I have a key pad as well as tilt sensors, alarm, immob and all the other fruit.

I highly recommend them.

You have more chance of hearing of a break in, into fort knox then my car going walk about.... Between the Doberman, the 12 gauge the alarm and me sleeping in the back seat they have buckleys!!!!

These were option upgrades with the Cheetah 777 that I got. I might go back and get them soon

You also get a fridge magnet telling you to go back in a year for a checkup of some kind

[Ashy Larry]

Yeah they update the alarm software for you, No cost.

Nice... i also noticed TKO tinting in there Topaz, r they a good mob to use for tint? For some reason the R34's come out std with the back quarter n windshields glass tinted but not the fronts. So i gotta get just my 2 front windows done, shouldn't cost much i imagine??

R those guys mobile as well?

No, shouldn't cost much, my R32 GTR is the same with the rear quarters done

last I saw was $245 for the entire car to get tinted

[Ashy Larry]

My car was the same, Rears and Quarters tinted and not the front, I went to tint a car or something..... Ummm business colours are red and yellow.....Arh F*ck it, you know who I mean. Cost me $ 120 for both which was pretty good.

And they matched the colour for me.

Did they say what grade it was? like 35% which is the darkest legal!?

So your rear screen was already tinted? was that from the factory or previous owner?

[Ashy Larry]

Don't want to Hi-Jack the thread, They didnt tell me the tint ratio and I didnt ask, if that kinda makes sense...Wink Wink Nudge Nudge.... All I know is the guy at the pits when I was re-registering here in WA, said he wanted to put the light gun on it too be sure, we ended up talking about my drive across the country, Guess he just plain forgot!!!!!

Wether the tint is factory or not is unclear, I am the first owner here in Oz...... I think it is law or something over there that only the rear and quarters can be tinted, Somebody please clear this up for me, as i am not 100% on it.
