hey guys i need some advice

well ive been working my ass off and have enough to get a decent alarm. I have about $300-$400 budget i think, and i want a pager alarm with the works.

i was considering the paging alarm systems at jb-hifi but my friend said that those are shit and they don't function properly. My other friend suggested Autobahn pager alarms and i'm interested in them but don't know where i can get them in melbourne.

can anyone suggest other good car alarms with a pager system and maybe an immoboliser or some kind of engine immobolisation? and where i can get it installed. my friend suggested JR in box hill to do installation. he got his done for $50 and it took 3 hours.

Currently I have an alarm on my skyline but its a dodgy japanese one that only senses the doors being openned. (guess they dun need fully functioned alarms in japan cos crime there is so low)

but yeah anyway a 10yo kid could prolli steal my car right now, thats why i'm paranoid about my car. I want to spend my money on alarm first before i do anything about mods cos no point modding if it all gets stolen.

appreciate the help

SKY33 - how does dual stage shock work?

There are 2 adjustments. One to set off the warning tone and one to set off the real alarm. So u set the warning tone to really sensitive so just even a slight bump (or even a really cool dude with his drift wing kitted lancer and massive exhaust pumpin a whole 60Kw) to ur car a 3 beep warning tone will sound. Then u set the real alarm to go off at a more major impact.

Not many car alarms have dual stage shock. Id say it be a worthy investment! I had it on my skyline but thats gone now :). In time ill have a new 'line.

hey chop...if someone wants to take your car, and they know their shiznitz...they will get it...an alarm is a deterent. just make sure it has imobilizer and good sensors on/in it

the most problem you get is people trying to take your stuff out of the car, and not the car itself...keep that in mind(imo)

my advice...shop around

    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
