who here has the 80G and 80AU?

what is the difference?

what is ultra sonic?

what would you guys reccomend?

thanks

Personally I prefer Autowatch 446 Premier with built in turbo timer.

As for ultra sonics these are usually a 2 piece system mounted on either side of the dashboard, 1 of them is a transmitter the other is a reciever and an ultra sonic beam (high frequency sound wave) is transmitted from i to the other, if the beam is broken by an object such as an arm the alarm is triggered. If I had to choose I would pick ultra sonics instead of microwave sensor but definately a shock sensor is needed if you want to save your wheels!

Goodbye :rant:

Ditto for the M80S...

Ultrasonics are a pain in the ar5e if u ask me... constantly false alarming to the point that you have turned the sensor down and might as well not have it at all......

hmmm, the m80s comes with shock sensors, ultrasonic sensors r optional. Ive got a m80g, same as m80s but with glass break sensor. I get false alarms also. You sure its not the shcok sensors that r causing it?

glass break is set a tad too high. common problem I have with them after I set them to my liking.

I think all Mongoose m80 series come with 2 stage shock sensor as standard.

I had the m80AU fitted about 3 weeks ago.

Couldnt be happier.

ultrasonic are high frequency waves being sent around the inside of the car. If something gets in the way of the bouncing signals they set off the alarm.

Basically, if you have the window down and you stick your hand through the alarm will go off.

Reason I chose:

If car has tinted window's and window is popped out, glass break sensor may not hear.

Sensitivity:

I think it is perfect. A lot of people say its too sensitive but majority dont even have the system..Not once have I had a false trigger from the sensors.

I also had window sunshade stuck on window, one side detached and didnt trigger the alarm.

I paid an extra $40 when compared to glass break sensor and I guess its worth it for such a low price difference.

I was planning on getting microwave sensor but the alarm person talked me out of it, not sure why, thought it would be better having a chirp if someone looks through window. I think it may cause too many false triggers if people walk past etc..

I had a look at my Girlfriends Celica on the weekend, her shock sensor was set way too high. Pulled down the main panel under the steering wheel, and there was the black box, nice and easy to adjust, way too easy!

Would a good place to hide an alarm module be on the passenger side, up underneath the dash as far up as possible? Or does it not matter, because you can look around for additional wires and follow them back?

Chris, what's your recommendation for hiding it...?

not going into detail but right out of mind and out of sight.

      I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.

      I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      By uchoa · Posted

      Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
