Alarms with remote start

Hi ppls

I know alarms is a very popular topic and all, and yes, I have done a search on the forum for alarms and read the posts about em, but I don't seem to find much mention of an alarm that offers:

>= 3 immobilisation pts

remote start

ability to add aftermarket turbo timer

Those are pretty much the only features (apart from the usual alarm stuff) that I am looking for

- I heard Brandt may be able to pop a TT on, but some say there are problems

- I know Cobra alarms allow TTs but no remote start

- Boomerang has a remote start and TT, but no provisions for an aftermarket one, and apparently only 1 immob pt (WTF?)

Can anyone help identify any alarms which provide those features?

Thanks

kW

You could try AUTOWATCH. Its called the 288RLI. They have remote start but have two immobilser circuits with and extra auxillary immobiliser circuit which you'll need an extra relay for. Autowatch also have other alarms which have 3 immobiliser circuits but no remote start. Its not Australian though, its South African. Very good quality from what ive used.

in regards to two-three point immobilisation - it is just a matter of intercepting vital circuits with a relay to cut their function (ie starter, fuel pump, ignition circuit etc)

you can use a single immobiliser cut out point to run more than one relay (given the current of the relays combined doesn't exceed the maximu for the alarm output)

hence it is possible to use a two output point immobiliser to cut out say four points

so u reckon that 2 point immobs only uses single output?

what u think about 3 point immobs then? u think they only use a single output point too?

Tony - which remote start systems have 1st gear lockouts? What is that anyway? Will this prevent the car from being put into 1st gear when the car is off (hence preventing disaster when u try to look cool to the chicks and start the car and the car starts getting jiggy wit it)?

I've been told that the 3rd immobiliser, used to cut out the fuel pump has caused problems in the past when cars break down which is why most manufacturers don't make them any more. Not sure exactly what the problem is. I only got the 3rd one for insurance reasons.

I assume most remote start systems have the option of the gear lockout. The viper does but it doesn't fit in the Skyline. All it does is stops the remote start from working if it is in gear.

i think the alarm systems with more than one cut out point have separate output wires from the control unit.

this way if one relay gets traced and shorted the other would still need to be located. usually though i think you would have the relays near the control unit and if they find that you're stuffed anyway

Think about it people, how many of you have turbo timers? And if you don't then im sure you sit and let it idle to cool down for a few mins depending on how hard you've been driving it right? Then why exactly would it be in gear when you go to use your remote starter? Personally i don't have a starter, and really dont have any need for one.

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?

      100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!

      ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
