Honestly need an alarm system for my new baby, an R33 gts-t. Could any pros recommend any brands to me?

It would be great if a location to install it and a price was included as well, I'm new to Melbourne.. :)

Looking for those 2-way alarm systems. Thanks bros.

Yeah mate i've been looking for about 2months and reasherching into all of them as for 2way vipers are cheep if you get them from teh states the viper 791XV has all the bells and wistles for abotu $340 shipped over then theres add ons like tilt sensor ect. and that was the way i was going to go but the more i reaserched into it the more i realised theres a better alternative.

The A2000k is an excerlent choice, and once you get the options for the viper like tilts sensor windowsensor they work out pritty much the same price, allthough there is a specail on that A2000k atm installed.

The viper has 2way but the A2000K doesnt' however after reaserching viper, i feel even with out the 2way on the A2000k its still safer, the viper has coloured wires vs the ak's black, and the viper has a 1 point immobilser vs the ak's 3. Basiclly you can cluth start the car with a viper 791XV becuase of the 1point immobilser.

The thing with 2way pageing is, the rang is relativly short, and the viper relys on its toway system more then its actully keepingthe car secure liek the ak.

If you after some sort of mointering system GPS is the way to go and if you follow that link theres a system call Qucik Track. You pay abotu $400 a year for mointering but they mointer your car when it goes off they call yoru moible, if you dont' answer they call the cops. Pluss they can track it.

Hope this helps

see the other thread. I have a fair bit of input on that one as does FRX026. both of us fit alarms for a living.

Thanks to all of you. I'm thinking of getting my alarm system installed in Autobarn near Victoria Market, how are the prices and reliability there?

what brands do they stock?? from memoryautobarn dont stock topof the range alarm systems..

Chris,

It never seems to amaze me that people just dont get car security.

I always thought that the more secret your were on the type of system you had or the way it was installed would benefit you in a breakin/ theft situation.

There are two crazy things in this post.

1 - A link to a car security company that allows for download ( without registration/ identification) wiring diagrams and information that could be easily used to steal a car with their system.

and... ( and this is the best one)

2 - photos of a car showing clearly it's rego details (number plate) and the type of alarm installed.

Chris, hopefully you would agree.

Guys, for the interest of keeping your cars safe, get a good alarm, have it professionally installed and then, dont tell anyone (not even your mom) what sort it is.

There are a lot of dodgy poeple that read forums to gain information to steal cars.

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU POST

Please see point 2 - same person - same thing - mate, without sounding to smart, are you trying to have your car stolen?

    • in my list I had the R33 GTR as the best Skyline. Infact I had all GTR's (33>34=32), the NSX, the GTO, the 300ZX, the 180SX, the S15 better than the FD RX7. I had the MR2 and the A80 as 'just' better. I also think the DC5R Integra looks better but this is an 01 onwards car. I also think the FC>FD. It's almost like aesthetics are individual! The elements @GTSBoy likes about the FD and dislikes about the 180 are inverse in my eyes. I hate the rear end of the FD and it's weird tail lights that are bulbous and remind me of early hyundai excels. They are not striking, nor iconic, nor retro cool. The GTO has supercar proportions. I maintain these look much better in person (like the NSX) especially with nice wheels and suspension which is mandatory for all cars pretty much. Some (or all) of these you have to see in person to appreciate. You can't write a car off until you see one in the flesh IMO. Like most people we probably just like/dislike cars which represent certain eras of design or design styles in general. I also think the 60's Jag E type looks HORRIBLE, literally disgusting, and the 2000GT is nothing to write home about. FWIW I don't think the Dodge Viper Gen1's have aged very well either. You can probably see where I rate bubbly coupes like the FD. I know we're straying now but the C4 and C5 absolutely murder the Viper in the looks department as time goes on, for my eyes. Wouldn't surprise me if people who love the FD, also love the MX5, Dodge Viper, Jag E Type, etc etc.
    • I used to hate R31s, and any of the other Nissans that led up to it, and any of the Toyotas with similar styling, because of the boxiness. They were, and remain, childish, simplistic, and generally awful. I appreciate R31s a lot more now, but only the JDM 2 door. The ADM 4 door (and any other 4 door, even if they are unique compared to our local one) can eat a bowl of dicks. The Aussie R31 is also forever tarnished by their association with stereotypical bong clutching Aussie R31 owners of the 90s and early 2000s. I think the Nissans of the 70s (other than 120Y/180B/200B) are far superior looking to the 80s cars. The 240K era Skylines are boss. The same is broadly true of Toyotas. Hondas don't ever register in my thinking, from any era. Mitsus are all horrid shitboxen in any era, and so also don't register. Subarus are always awful, ditto. Daihatsus and Suzukis also don't generally register. They are all invisible. I think the SW20 MR2 looks fiddly. The 3000GT/GTO is like that but way worse. Too many silly plastic barnacles and fiddly gimmicks ruined what could have been a really nice base shape. Kinda-sorta looks like a big heavy ST165 Celica coupe (and I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing). I think the 180SX is dreadfully bland. It's not bad looking. But it has no excitement to it at all. It's just a liftback coupe thing with no interest in its lines, and bad graphical elements (ie wide expanses of taillight plastic on the rear garnish). The S13 Silvia is a little better - getting closer to R32 shapes. But still....bland. S14? Nope. Don't love it. S15...a little better. Probably a lot better, actually. Benefits from not being like a shrunk in the wash R34 (where the S13 was a shrunk in the wash R32 and the S14 looked like a Pulsar or something else from the stable on Nissan mid 90s horrors). The Z32 was hot as f**k when it came out but hasn't aged as well as the A80. Keep in mind that I think the R33 is the most disgusting looking thing - and out of all the previous cars mentioned is objectively closest to my precious R32. It's just....real bad, almost everywhere you look. And that is down to the majority of what was designed in the 90s being shit. All Nissans from that era look like shit. Most other brands ditto. In that context, the FD absolutely stands out as being by far the best looking car, for reasons already discussed. Going behind the aesthetics, the suspension alone makes it better than almost any other car.  
    • If they just called it the "Mazda Tiffany", it would have been spot on.
    • Yup but for me its the HR ! Cut my teeth on the old holden 6s in the day ! And here's me thinking in the day it was also the 300ZX and the Mitsubishi GT3000 ! All, as well had good lines, but always seemed to need finishing off, style wise.
    • A 180SX has a much better look than a FD. The roofline is far superior being a fastback. It's popups look better. In a world where we all subconsciously add a little bit of low, and wheels of our preference, it's just more handsome than the FD is. The FD just looks 'bubbly' in comparison. It can come down to preference, sure. But "The FD is the BEST looking (on appearances alone) 90's JDM car without question?" Nah. Plenty of questions lol. I could think of 8 cars I think look fundamentally better, and probably a handful of ones that look about on par with a FD. (like say a SW20 MR2) I feel people like/overrate the FD because of it's mythicality/rarity, its rotary and it's unpredictable nature. It probably drives great, you can stuff a ton of tyre under there, has a unique sound, light as hell. I feel that people reading this thinking "YOU CANT RATE A 180 ABOVE A FD BECAUSE A 180 IS A CHEAP DRIFT BUCKET" prove the point about bias as to what the car represents, moreso than how it actually looks.. I feel the 80's boxy/squared off look is becoming better looking due to time, and 90's melted soap bar aesthetics have not aged well. (yet?) And this thread is purely about looks :p
