Autowatch have a nice keypad which is very reliable

Get the brant nemesis.. Search for Alan Jong.. he installs them.. around $1000..

it's a 6-point - but really.. 3-point + 3-point keypad..

Works well.. haven't really had any issues, only problem is the range of the receiver to unlock/lock the car.. about 2m..

the one posted in the NS area is an autowatch item. leon (SIM) sells them in sydney I do them in brissy.

they can be added to most autowatch alarms as an add on.

forget brant- no longer worth the effort.

Out of interest Chris why would you say that? regarding forget brant?

One of the reasons for myself getting a brant alarm was that I didn't want someone stealing my keys and also the visual deterrant the keypad has..

Realistically if someone wants to steal it they will.. and it's fully insured.. but I guess anything you can do to protect your car helps..

I've been really happily with it.. only issue I have is the distance that the remote works.. it's terrible!!..

Have a look around see what you like.. if you were in qld.. def go and see Chris.. however I don't know about vic..

$150 fitted

I would be worried about the numbers wearing off after time which may suggest the pin. Farnell sell a vandall proof keypad with the numbers etched into the buttons which are metal. The whole thing is a metal unit making it very difficult to open up.

no my 5 digit pin only uses 3 buttons, $100, or $150 fitted i'm not worried about numers if they starteed jsut scrape them off or somthing. Oh thats not my car btw, i mounted mine in teh center consle so i dont' even look at the numbers when i type them in.

I have to add you dont' get to chose the pin, it comes with one and its' actully a 5 digit pin.

    • OK, that is a helpful description, because that sounds exactly like a bleeding issue in the clutch....these are hard to bleed manually even when the damping loop has been removed. I'd suggest bleeding again....start by filling the master cylinder up and opening the bleed nipple. Come back and check every now and then that the master cylinder is not empty. Let it gravity bleed for a few hours and see if that improves
    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
