I got my windows done at Solar Tint: http://www.solartint.com.au/ They have a lifetime warranty and did a good job...nice guys too! they have a place in Melbourne, see the website for info...

as for alarms, I have a Brant (along with many other members of this forum!). They are fitted by Suburu in the factory for lots of their cars, including WRX & STI's.....you can get lots of different ones depending on what you need, but I just got the basic one which was only around $600. They fit them all over Aus including Melb..

see http://www.brant.com.au/

go the brant, they are an awersome alarm!!! got the nemesis model and i haven't looked back since getting it - was paraniod about security before it was fitted, no it doesn't even cross my mind!!!

no idea about window tint sorry!!!

i need to get an alarm soon.

ca u tell me whatsw so good about the brant?

hey aZn_RoMeO,

what i found with the brant car alarm, is that it provided a "piece of mind" that none of the other car alarms that i could find did.... pretty much the only way that they can steal this car and the company has said this as well is if someone has a forklift thing and physically lifts the car from wherever u left it onto a flat-tray truck and then move the car away - but even then they will have a hell of a job to either get the car started or workout how the alarm functions as it's all in black wiring (so what u say - i can get this from strathfield or wherever) but if any wires are cut the car is dead - 6 point engine protection - it's got ultrasonics + incar sensors, passive rearming (it really is as well!!!) and if the battery is disconnected as i found out last week then the only way to stop the siren's is to enter the master code into the pinpad ( + along with all the normal features of a car alarm).

here are the features from their website on the nemesis:

Features –

Remote codehopping operation + BRANTS famous PIN code entry system

Six (6) engine immobilisers

Dual siren system (one self powered siren outside – one inside)

Ultrasonic movement detectors + 2 stage impact shock sensors

Keyless entry

Electric window operation (option)

Remote panic

Passive immobilisation

Auto rearm in case of accidental switch off

False alarm lockout

Detects intrusion via doors, boot/hatch, bonnet, windows, sunroof + immobilises the engine in 6 places.

And much more…

look, i'm in no-way affiliated with them, and personally the cost that are associated with it are pretty high, but for me it way the peace of mind factor of making theft of my precious skyline 0% (as close as possible to it anyway) - i think the costs are something around the $1000 - $1100 mark for the nemesis - but if u think u don't need all that protection, then go for one of the simplier models, (and i think, but don't quote me on this, that these can be upgraded by adding extra components later to make a nemesis model).

i hope this helps, but if your in melbourne give angi a call and have a chat to her, very good and always willing to help even after i bought the alarm - otherwise i'm pretty sure there is an outlet in every state....

[<<<aZn_RoMeO>>>]

sh^t thanks for all that help man.

I was thinkin about Boomerang. Same Price slightly cheaper.

But u kno. it comes with cool features. auto armin with brakes.

auto windows n sunroof, T timer, auto start stuff like that.

But man. 6 point immoboliser? Sh^T thats goos Sh^t

U sure around 1000, 10-1000 mark? installed?

And whos angi? i'm in sydney.....but/.how old is she?

[<<<aZn_RoMeO>>>]

But then again. like u said its installed factory into Subarus.

They always get stolen for raids. .....sooo......yea

ok firstly - u can get the auto features added to the alarm like i did but they are extra - i think the auto windows up feature was something like 148 dollars for both windows - the nemesis itself was 1098 installed

haha, angi - that's the name of the company that does the installation in melbourne and the person who runs it is called funnily enough angi - but if u wanted to get in contact with the sydney one these are their contact info.

[<<<aZn_RoMeO>>>]

K thanks alot man.

Which model did u have?

and problems with turbo timer install?

and does Brant Nemisis have an auto start feature?

coz i went to the website. doesn't say. I just sent an email for info but yea just wondering if u kno or have any of these features

hahahha...angi is a company? LOL

[skysaresilver]

the nemesis model, there is no problems with turbo timers, cause within the keypad control there is a feature which can be turned on/off for turbo timer feature - as far as i know there is no auto start feature but as i've read from other people with it on the forums it's a novelty thing and lasts about a week - bit like my auto feature for the windows i guess (forget i got it installed and almost always put the windows up myself!!!) yeah it's A.N.G.I. technologies, lolz

[dan_the_man]

When I was in the market for an alarm, Brant informed me that the nemesis was unable to support a turbo timer.

[skysaresilver]

well mine works with it? that's weird? lolz

keep them coming...
