Good Afternoon All,

Well I've finally made the plunge and bought myself an R33. It's currently on the boat so yeah, am looking for a quality alarm system to install.

People keep telling me about the Brant Nemisis alarm, and swear by the quality. I had a quote done on mine and this is what they had to offer.

- 6 ptImmobiliser/Alarm with battery backup siren, door, boot bonnet protection,

- Ultrasonic internal sensors & internal screamer siren

- Pin Number controlled (like the WRX's apparently)

- central locking attachment

All for the handsome sum of $1343

I can also add window closure for another $148 and a paging system for $198 (not too sure what this does though)

So yes, the price is hefty, but I guess for real peace of mind, I do not mind paying this investment. But now I hear about the Autowatch system. May I ask, can anybody please advise on what it has to offer and at what price? Again, I don't mind going all out, if it's value for money.

cc Friski I know you install these, and XCUZME I know you have one, that's why I was hoping you could comment.

Thanks in advance to all who reply.

my bro had the nemesis sytem installed on his s15 a few months ago, (around 6months) and managed to get it done for $990. This came with all those features mentioned with the exception for the auto window closure thingy and the pager. Try bargaining with them abit and see if you can get it down lower because i dont see why someone should be paying $300-400 more than another person when buying the same product.

You gotta pay the money to get the quality. Sure they are the same product but totally different installers.

I think you'll find that xcuzme and friski's alarms took multiple hours to be installed for the 'added' security and of course... this all comes at a cost.

Autowatch:

Australian Standards Approved,

All black wiring,

3 point immobilser,

Auto re-arm,

Auto immobilise,

Hidden button (optional but must be pressed after dis-arming),

Digital back up battery siren,

Shock sensor,

Microwave sensor,

Door, bonnet and boot sensor

There is also one with a turbo timer feature, window roll ups are optional, extra sirens are possible.

Prices vary pending on vehicles and requirements, but you could have it in your car for under $500 give or take depending on the feature or optional you wish to have.

I was referring to the Brant Nemesis since that was the quote he received, whereas my bro was able to get it at a lower price. I think as a company you would assume that they would only allow qualified installers to install their products and that they meet a certain standard so that they dont tarnish their reputation. Do Brant have resellers? or do they have their own installers?

For around that price I saw the new Wolfd 3d ecu for the R33

has a security pin option via the hand controller that disables the ecu and the car cannot be started at all without the correct pin number. No wires to bypass or anything. Without the pin the cars useless. Sounds pretty good to me you get a engine management system and security system all in one. If you want it to make noise im sure you can get an alarm for couple of hundred dollars extra in case someone trys to break in to steal your valuables.

I only carry two brands of alarm, alarm and immobilisers i sell, install and recommend Autowatch, if the customer is aftewr a traker i'm also and authorised QuikTrak dealer, but any traking system would do i only know of two or three around.

My bad habit is that I only sell / recommend products which i would use myself and find reliable, i don't like unhappy customers it doesn't give me the right rep.

      Turn signal wiring question

      Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.

      Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
