Ok,

So Viper alarms aren't available any more - and it seems lots of cars with these alarms are getting stolen anyhow. It also appears Brant is no more. Those were the only two alarms I knew of being decent. So what's the latest and greatest these days, and who's the best person to fit it?

I need something tip top. My car won't have comprehensive insurance for a while, So I want to make sure it's got the best alarm protection available.

There's so many on the market now, but what's the hardest to crack?

Regards,

Ryan

Anyone had any issues with Brant? I hear in one hear they're a bit unreliable, and in the other I hear they're great. The features on paper look very attractive, but what's the point if it doesn't work half the time, lol.

really at the end of the day its really up to you to which alarm you want,

reason i got a brant is because the installer has done alot of skylines and i want someone thats confident in installing one, dont want them screwing around and than stuffing up half way through the install and having to call their colleagues asking them how to install it.

installation is important, not so much the alarm.

personally if i were you i would get a cheaper alarm (than a brant!), then find a very good installer and spend your money with them.

a tracker is the best option, ezitrak is a good system.

    • How do you go about diagnosing ecu's that don't have data logging, is it more experience at that point and just trying out things that you think will fix the issue?
    • Stock O2 are basically useless beyond anything at stoich. Any misfire will also be seen as lean. The stock O2 also read a collective exhaust gas volume, not each cylinder. Sputtering and missing means not each cycle is firing, and some are. Which means even if rich, as shit, on cylinders as they miss, they'll read lean, but the cylinders that did fire will read rich, and combined, well, they can read anything from rich to lean.   Start with the basics before even going looking at sensor values.   Edit: I say the above, and that's coming from the guy with a few thousand dollars worth of scan tools sitting right beside me right now that I use frequently for my job.
    • I just finished up a manual swap and I have a 1999 S2 AWD automatic in my garage, depending on where you are located. I'm in the the midwest of the US.
    • I’ve heard it can be done, you need to redrill the holes where they bolt to the chassis and apart from that they are the same. I’ve never done it or know anyone personally that has, it’s just something I’ve heard 
    • If it's reading full rich prior to a misfire that gives one directional hint, if it's already reading lean, etc. If it's reading pretty cleanly stoichiometric then suddenly drops out from a misfire that suggests it's not air mass estimation that's the problem. Could be ignition, could be something more subtle. Could be the CAS has decided to start dropping out at random or the drive pin is worn leading to excessive lash and trigger errors. LTFT can tell you the same but it's slower to react and if this is a recent issue it might not have stabilized. STFT stuck in one direction vs fluctuating back and forth can be used instead but I like to read O2 voltages anyways and interpret directly. If the O2 voltages make no sense in general or are super slow to react it could also be a failing O2 sensor. There's no real error correction for failing O2 sensors in these cars.
