Hi,

I've been recommended some good Australian alarms, mainly the Mongoose M80g (I think thats the model name).

However currently I seem to have a half-decent Japanese alarm, although I am not sure how decent it is.

Its a Hornet 280g, a quick google found me this page with the information on it:

http://google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2...=en&ie=UTF8

My alarm system looks like an older version of this, a 2 button remote which has a clearish coloured case, I have not identified the alarm as a Hornet 280g but this is the manual that was left in the glovebox when I bought the car from Japan.

It appears to have a tilt sensor, and quite a loud siren, beyond that I only know that its manufactured by directed who also make Python and Viper.

Does anyone know anything about this alarm? Is it a good alarm at all?

Thanks,

Gareth

P.S. I am considering the Australian alarm install, I just need to find some money for it :cheers:

Best bet would be to get an Australian one for insurance purposes and so you dont get fined. theres australian legal requirements for car alarms to stops sounding after a certain amount of time (30 seconds i think) amongst other requirements. and as for insurance you wont be covered thru justcar if you dont have atleast a 2point immobiliser that meets australian standards. not sure how it goes with other insurance companies but thats justcar.

GIO did not explicitly state an Australian car alarm as a requirement, but I assume it was there in the fine print or I missed it.

I will try to organise it when I find some funds :)

      The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.

      Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist

      Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.

      Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
