The same questions get asked over and over on the forum every week. By putting them all in one location, hopefully it will be easier for ppl to browse

What is an immobiliser?

An immobiliser is an electronic device, which automatically shuts down essential systems in your car (such as the ignition, fuel pump, starter circuit or ECU) so that it cannot be driven away powered by its own engine.

What does a 'Standards approved' immobiliser have?

Under the Australian/New Zealand Standard for Vehicle Immobilisers (AS/NZS 4601:1999, amended in 2003), an immobiliser should have:

- Automatic immobilisation within 40 seconds of ignition switch-off

- Two independent points of immobilisation

- Connections enclosed in security housing

- All black security wiring

- Flashing dashboard LED when system is armed

- Secure owner PIN override

Disclaimer: The following list is mainly made up of recommendations I've received. The installers listed are all certified professionals with appropriate qualifications and licences, and most have experience with imports. SAU will not accept any responsibility for anything going amok with your car, but that being said I would gladly entrust these individuals to install a security system in my car:

NSW

- Allan Jong (Maxi Security). Mobile, will come to you. 02 9608 6781.

- Security in Motion. Speak to Leon. 0407 106 822 or 0425 766 341.

VIC

QLD

- Chris Rogers (Brisbane)

SA

- Adelaide Pro Sound. APS on the forums, but full contact details on website.

WA

NT

TAS

I'd rather choose someone else. Who can I trust?

As a first point, I'd look up the ASIAL (Australian Security Industry Association) register, here.

Troubleshooting

Using a test light

This is a very good and simple guide that shows you how you can diagnose problems. Test lights only cost a few dollars, and can be useful in determining whether you have a blown fuse.

    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
    • I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
    • STOP GOOGLING FAB9 MAKE BORG WARNER EFR KITS FOR THE NC. THEY PACKAGE AN EFR 6758. DO NOTHING ELSE. CAPS INTENTIONAL. THE BEST RESPONSIVE SETUP EXISTS FOR YOUR CAR, AND HAS BEEN PROVEN FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. IN B4 "BUT I WANT EVEN MORE RESPONSE, IN A SIMPLER, MORE RELIABLE PACKAGE" WHICH IS A LS.
