Help Needed =)

[ewhs]

Hi guys,

If nothing goes wrong, will be taking delivery of my R34 next week. As the car does not come with an alarm/ immobiliser, will need to install one to as per my insurance requirements. Im not looking for something fanciful, just a standard alarm/immobiliser that comply with the Australian Standards. Any advice on what models or price i should be looking at? Most importantly, where can I get it installed at a good price?

Thank you

Cheers

Mate - don't be stingy when it comes to an alarm - sure, if someone wants to steal your car they most likely would... but hey, if a good and reliable alarm; this process will sure as hell be harder and will also give you a chance to keep your car...

I recommend anything from a Viper to a mongoose. You can buy it off ebay and then go to a installer e.g. Autobarn, Strathfields, Gary's Radio and alarms or an auto-eletrician and get it hooked up.

Or, you can go to one of the above places and get the alarm supplied and fitted.

Good luck mate.

sau vic members have access to a specialist alarm installer who offers great price and service

failing that i would recommend some local guys and just ask them some obvious questions

what sorta cars do they work on - how will the alarm protect your car etc

Jump on ebay mate... then call around a few of the shops (that I had mentioned) and ask for some quotes... labour is around $70.00 at most places... so just factor this into the price mate... also, most alarms now offer remote start... not sure if it tickles your fancy, but pretty cool to have.

Good luck.

ASAP Car audio in ringwood did an awesome job on all my friends cars

i wouldnt recommend a remote start type alarm system.

but i rate the mongoose M80 for any skyline.

3 point and black wiring also insurance approved

if u live around the east side i can give u a contract who does pro installs certified etc. he'll even come to your house.

Thanks Spunky Munky

No worries mate - an alarm is somewhat an investment on security... don't go cheap on it as it could just save your car from getting stolen... but remember to do your homework as prices vary heaps.

Good luck buddy...

I wouldnt trust the Ebay mongoose alarms.

Heard from a couple of people they are cheap knockoff's and professional alarm installers wont touch them.

Go http://www.stylyn.com/

$500~ for Mongoose M80 + a full day alarm install (removing dash etc)

Professional alarm install which isnt done by a bunch of kids at autobarn lol

You may find its simply cheaper to get SAU membership and use the supporter offer than to buy it and pay for installation even if you cant make sue of the other benefits.
