Dunno if they are any good, got a quote of 2500AUD from just cars, but alarm wise I am not sure, is there any other better alarm system than viper? if so, where can I get them from?? Too many skylines got stolen lately, kinda scared! :rofl:

Speak to your insurance company with regards to their car alarm requirements.

Some require the car alarm to meet certain standards and specifications.

But off the top of my head.. Unsure whats good or not. I believe something that's not common or cheap. :rofl:

Speak to Just Cars. There's absolutely no point getting a car alarm, get insurance, car gets stolen, recovered then the insurance company voids your policy as the car alarm didn't meet 'their' requirements. Simply not worth the risk for saving a few $$.

I do know they require a so called black wire 3 point immobiliser, the alarm must also lock the doors and arm its self.

I've disabled the lock its self feature as I had it lock my keys in the car. :rofl:

As for the viper.. I have no idea, I run something a little different. :P

As above.. Famous Classic Car Insurance; in the past I've found to be tops.

i work for one of the insurance companies that covers this market. i cant say who sorry, but please do look at the small print in any pds that u get from a company when they qte you. there are a few companies who will act illegally and get away with it as people just accept the word of the company come claim time. for reference, if its not written as an exclusion then you are covered. if you are told "yeah but its only covered if...." you are being fed BS. duty of disclosure goes both ways too. if u say whaalarm u have at quote time and they accept tha, they arent allowed to go back on their word from that point on until the next renewal is due. just some food for thought for you guys. but as has been said in other threads, do tell everything to the company. fines,crashes(even if u didnt make a claim or the 3rd party didnt use their cover), where its kept at night, mods especially.

cheers.

Johnny there is an entire section in this forum dedicated to car audio and security. Do a search in there and you will find heaps of information about what alarms are considered the best, which are shite and which ones meet Australian insurance standards. You could always PM specific questions to Chris Rogers (who provides valuable alarm related information to people on this forum) for anything you can't find in the threads. Alternatively go speak with some installers here like George at Adelaide Pro Sound.

As for insurance it's a matter of ringing around as everyones circumstances are different regarding age, accident/speeding history, location where car will be kept, how many km per year you'll do in it etc. I'm with Shannons and find them brilliant to deal with both before and after making a claim. Has your car arrived from Japan yet? You still have time to do some research.

there arent too bad, i mean im paying 123 a month right now for full comprehensive insurance, and to be honest i think there was like a 400 difference between h2p and just cars when i was getting quotes last year before i got the car, the only reason i went with h2p is cause they offered pay by the month, something just cars doesnt offer

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
