as it says what kind of alarm should i get for my r33 2 door

should i just go for the one with the most tacky name, like stinger/hornet/viper?

i want one with remote start and remote central locking,

they have some good "no name brand" ones on ebay for around $200-300 would it be shit and if so how much do these things cost to get installed?

p.s thanks for all your help on the issues with my car everything yas have said has helped me in my quest to customising my beast, from replacing a 50 cent fuse that saved me going to an auto elec to installing a new stereo for my car, CHEERS!

An important thing to remember is that if your insurance policy specifies an australian standards certified immobiliser then make sure the one you buy one that meets the standard otherwise you will not be covered for theft (unless you have a separate A.S. immobiliser as well). Not all alarms; even locally sold ones meet the standards.

sweet as il go get one from a decent shop and ask if it will be cool with my insurance,

one more problem unrelated to this topic

I HAVE BLOWN 3 FUSES FOR STEREO AND CLOCK IN ABOUT 2 WEEKS!!? guy at jaycar said it might be the ground connection, where the hell is the ground connection? he also said it might be that i put it in the wrong way, i tried both ways and it still f**ked up.

and how are you blowing htem? high volume, bumps?

no idea i turn off the car replace the fuse drive off 2 mins later the clock/stereo turns off iv tried it without the stereo on and it does it anyway.

last night i went to a dodgy looking servo got another fuse, it worked and is still working.....until it blows i guess.

i got no idea

I have a Viper Alarm, It is awesome.

Got all the things you want. Remote start and central locking etc etc.

here i made this video of the remote start.

Yep, got all the things a car thief would love, remote start!

Basically, find the module, trigger the remote start and the theif doesnt have to hot wire the car.

If you want to make your car harder to steal REMOVE the remote start module.

Not to mention that remote start is also Illegal and WILL void your insurance.

This topic has been covered a few times before, but for some more information, please check this out.

leave the remote start off it .. IF you MUST have remote start (assuming its an auto) then the austowatch 288 will do it properly at $1k fitted.

if you want a decent alarm that the insuance company likes send me a pm and I'll sell you one.

Turn on your parker lights, and see if that will blow the fuse - If so, run the black wire coming out of the stereo to a proper earth (e.g. under a screw into the metal dash support.) Common problem for lots of cars with people not knowing what they are doing - or 240v elecs that think the green wire means earth.

When I bought my car, a mate recommended that I call Leon from www.securityinmotion.com.au He installed an Autowatch 446lri (read: South African, very paranoid) with built in turbo timer, shock sensor and remote boot release.

He is an absolute champion so go see him and get hooked up.

Cheers Christian.

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
