Cheers

Mongoose is crap had one already, gave me nothing but problems, had to get it taken back out and fitted an Autowatch alarm (456rli) with anti-hijacking and works brilliantly

really??

I have been a dealer for them for the past 3 years nd have had ZERO problems with them. yours sounds like an install problem as the units do not stuff up. ( also stop pushing autowatch, we already know its a good product.)

www.mongoose.com.au and look under dealers. or ring the hornsby office and ask.

Pretty sure both BDL at Fyshwick and Braddon Car stereo both do Mongoose stuff.

As for nothing ever going wrong with them, I had a Mongoose fitted less than 18 months and one of the remote keyfobs decided to "stick" on and kept randomly locking and unlocking the doors. Don't see how that one could be an "install problem".

I was also told that a turbo timer could be added to it later on. When I went back "later on" I was told that it couldn't be done but they would be happy to install a better system that could for like another $500+.

Not in the habit of bagging a business on here, PM me if you want to know where it was done.

Yup ^^ Total bullshit isnt it. I went back yesterday to get my turbo timer installed... its already wired, all they have to do is stuff around with the modual! Wanted $120 for it, what a rip off:) I'll deal with it myself for that price.

if you have a 60 or an 80 buit within the last two years it will take a time. in teh case of a 60 you need to fiddle with the module . the 80 needs option 13 turned on. remotes are a warranty item so if one stuffs up take it back to the dealer. what I meant buy zero problems was teh main unit.

JD33 ( shop would be nice- that way I can keep people clear of it.)

Guys, you walked into the trap yourself by saying "ill be back once i have a turbo timer". Make them put in writting that they'll do it for free when you come back. Its not rocket science, not all businesses are out there to soley serve the customer.

Yeah either BDL belconnen or fyshwich stock them.

Does anyone know if the sensitivity of the Mongoose alarms can be adjusted?

It goes off way too easy.

I swear if an ant farts within 10 feet of it, it would go off. Annoying as hell.

What type of sensors do you have on it? most of the sensors can be addjust with ease, a matter of turning a screw on the sensor.

I got a mongoose 60 series fitted roughly 12 months ago and no probs. Recently bought a

timer and rang the guy who fitted it to see if it can be done. He said no worries. Anyway spent

an hour on it as he had to remove the dash to connect all the functions that the Greddy timer

comes with. On the alarm module he just flicked a switch for the timer. He also upped the

sensativity by turning it with a small screw driver. So now when the car turns off about ten seconds

later beps once and all done. By the way he charged me $80 to fit the timer ( that was come to me ).

Also a friend with a R33 has the same one as does my dad, all fitted by the same guy. Alarm is normally

$300 supply and fit, but for the R33 was $350 as he had to fit a central locking motor to one door

so both would open with the pager. His details are Mode auto electrical. Peter Bevc 0418369634.

Cant say enough about this guy as he is polite does good work and the best thing of all, He comes

to you. :)

PS: sorry JD this guy is in Vic.

    • The plan is to get it out of the shed. The reality may fall some way short. But hope is as cheap as despair as they say. Will go a wide band I think. The coils are ok so maybe I’ll miss the $1500 on the R35 coils etc. Im still on the fence about a trigger kit. The HKS one looks nice ($1k) - not sure how it works with the Link or if Link prefer something else. Oil pressure is fine so I’m not that concerned there. Fuel pressure I’ll have a think about. The IAT got changed for the Link anyway as the old RB26 ones were really slow reacting and pretty poor. The Power FC just worked. Wasn’t terribly refined but it just worked. Probably made a mistake replacing it really. E85 isn’t available locally - it is 100+ kms away which puts it in the too hard basket. Lastly I understand Tunecorp in Perth are pretty good so was probably going there.   As for turbos is there are new age -5 drop in replacement? Turbos have come a long way in 20 years, everyone is big single which is fair enough but I prefer the old school complication of twins. Wasn’t chasing more power (well, not much more) but more efficiency would be ok.
    • I thought I'd share this....the shell is non genuine but they found or built a lot of the genuine parts. Plus, it is by far the best colour scheme of those years, the winfield once was particularly shit https://www.v8sleuth.com.au/written-off-inaugural-godzilla-recreated/
    • Good work Pete and glad the car held up well....been a while since I've seen you try properly
    • Just quick update, I've had tech issues and so a backlog on life stuff....I will pull lap times from the video and data from the ECU logs to do a proper update. But basically, in order of importance: 1. The car was excellent fun on the track, really felt a lot like the good old days. And nice to have AC while waiting 2. Coolant got really hot; again I need to pull and analyse the logs but the standard system is not up to tracking at 30o+ days, once the system was heat soaked after the first 2x15min sessions I could only do 3 laps before it got 110+ and I had to cool down. If I can't improve that it is a deal breaker 3 Oil temps were fine all day, noting it was short sessions due to 2. I think it will likely need work 4 Biggest surprise AT temps were fine, never went over 100, I would have been OK with 120 before I was too concerned. The auto sucks compared to a manual (of course) but it is faster to launch and I just need to downshift it manually before hitting the throttle, then it was OK. When I post the vids you'll hear it telling me off (beeping) for trying to downshift too early (it needs about 3500 before it will downshift, depending on gear a little but we are mostly talking 3/2 and 4/3) 5 A052s were not great which hurt the lap times, but I will be constrained in what I can get in good tyres that fit the wheel wells. These were small for a heavy car at 235/45/18. In theory I can fit 9.5 on front and 10.5 rear (so not square) but I still need 670mm+ high tyres in good brands. 6 Standard shocks/springs/roll bar are too soft for track work (of course), but that was always on the list. And happily, no white on the mat, despite having a teenaged passenger, extinguisher mount was fine. Also, it was nice to have Wakefield Park back in action  . Because the car was so quiet it is eligible for Green Day, which I thought was a band but is apparently a series of cheaper practice days they run with a lower sound limit, that is a smart idea.  
    • Great to hear you are bringing it out of the shed again. Unless you have specific issues I'd just add the wideband, get a good tune and enjoy it. Certainly no point changing coils etc if they are working. If would add fuel pressure and e85 sensor if you are doing a general update but not if it runs OK and you are just getting it back on track. The other thing is smaller, modern twins, -5 are OK for motorsport but pretty laggy and old tech for street use (of course, if performance is the priority a modern single with twin scroll manifold etc is the go but not cheap). The final thing worth considering is switching to an ethrottle if drivability is still an issue, it should make things a lot simpler and smoother
