you meant to say you parallel import them. the 5900SS is NOT available in oz and the 791 is a B stock item from DEI meant for mexico. now going further on that DEI will not warrant any part of it so i

how does exactly the gms module work? lik i noe that it uses a sim card. but do we hav to recharge it wif credit or is there a monthly payment to be made...? wots the go?

when I do them I tell the customer to get a red sim (vodaphone.) and set a lower limit on it. when the card credit drops to $5 it debtis the credit card they have. most start with $30 or so. bearing in mind that every SMS send costs you. so if you have a unit that reports EVERYTHING about your car to you it will take 10-20 SMS messages to do it.

I'm guessing it's this device they are mentioning

Looks like you just need to top up the SIM when needed.

thats one of them. autowatch CATE and Directed GiSMo ar teh two others.

Hey buddy,

Yeah go the mongoose, I got talked out of the Viper because the bloke at the shop i went to (styln in melbourne) said that its a much better unit and is harder to bypass, but it all depends on the quality of the install, mine cost me about 490 ish,

Very good and no probs and i've had it for almost a year, good luck with it all,

Its locked to your phone. so no one else can send messages to it. depending on the unit it will send sms only or you can send sms to it ad have it do things. I have one customer that has a failsafe lockout system (if he locks the keys in the car he can open it with his phone.) off one of these units.

ive got a mongoose M80s which is the 2nd highest i think. its seems like a good alarm system. the only problem i have with it is the auto immobilise after 30secs and there isnt any valet option or anything where i can turn it off that i can see.

hey just to let u know u can turn off the auto arming function on your m80 but this feature is needed 4 insurance reasons

yep you can but its not a publicly known fact. turning it off in some cases voids your insurance.

www.stylyn.com is what you are after. see ketih in boronia and mention me.

Ahh,

Sorry about the late reply, yep thats the website above, just drop in for a quote, very nice people and they don't stuff ya around.

like I said my system works very well and its up to Australian standard etc etc, plus they told me about "lesser" systems to save me hassles instead of just filling their book like many other places would,

cheers,

Sean

1 way means that you send a command to the alarm (on/off)

2way means it sends it back.

keep your line of thinking. the 791 has its place in the market (just not on a skyline :( )

      don't know anyone in this thread, but i just found it, read the entire thing in a few hours, realized greg is still posting progress, and just have to say, this is awesome. it looks awesome. 100% right about the Uras kit making it a pain to get on hoists...have the same kit on my 34 and it takes six 2x4s and race ramps to do it without taking parts off. this reminds me exactly of this thread. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/r63-amg-the-unicorn-of-my-destruction/110824/page8/

      Fixing exhaust position?

      The only way to make that better is to weld on some bozozoku tips up past window height and roll with the cool kids.

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'd want an even MORE side on view. More or less you want to make sure the outlet is actually square with the outermost part of the bumper. Or you end up getting soot all over your bumper from your hektik exhaust. In any case, it looks pretty close. I think the way to fix this is probably more of an overhaul at an exhaust specialty shop if you want tips that are rounded off or sit nicely with the bumper but have proper clearance and don't move - Probably more of a redesign than a quick fix. I've pencilled in my own exhaust with its own various problems, pinholes, PITA fitment, and other issues and can see myself going to a shop and saying "JUST DO THIS BUT BETTER?"  Which is gonna work better than any more small fixes. I'm gonna chime in here officially with "from an outsider perspective this exhaust looks fine so this is self OCD probably" (which I also suffer from)
