Hey all. I was thinking of getting new car alarm installed, just wanted to see what experiences you guys have had with different car alarm systems. Any particular one that is one notch above the rest? Or is any with a siren and immobiliser enough? Cheers.

most insurance companies require you to have an Australian standards immobolizer fitted with a skyline.

funny enough.. a lot of the expensive brand named alarms and immobs arent covered by Australian Standards.

i settled for just a Worlock 3 point immob (no gay alarm that goes off with loud cars drive past) on mine. 300 all up including install from JB. back wires and cover my Just Car insurance needs.

if your not over fussy and dont have like a 20g stereo or valubles in your car constantly id just settle for a basic requiement system.

good luck

mongoose m80au

3 point+ black wiring, insurance approved and works with turbo timers.

I have the same one on my GTR, works with the central locking easily, has Pager attachment, plus 3 point immobilzer ignition, line, cutoff

Where can I cop one of these mongoose systems?

Just interested to see if any attempted break-ins were actually foiled by a mongoose alarm?

They dont seem to have the same model as I do on their site anymore, but then again my car alarm is around 3-4 years old now.

Ring up and find out - details are in the members section.

Alarms are much of a muchness if you ask me.

You can spend $800 or $250 on the alarm, its the way its installed that will dictate how hard the car is to steal :laugh:

    • And....if that could be true for all R34 GTTs, then it might be good. But in reality it is not really any better than my standard instruction to "go out and have a look at it yourself, and wave a tape measure around" etc etc, because as soon as you have any adjustable arms, or coilovers with smaller diameter springs, or tyres that have any bulge that goes out further than the rim, etc etc, then the simple version of the information is still potentially misleading. Plus, nothing in this is static. Everything is moving. At the rear the wheels swing inward at the top as they go up, so the clearances on the inside change as the suspension is compressed. At the front it's even worse. And then you have the difference in absolute wheel position in the arch can move around more, or less, depending on how compliant the bushes are. If, like me, you have sphericals on the front caster rods (and on the FUCAs also, but these are probably less dominant when it comes to wheel position), then your wheel will swing forward/backward under loads, as well as up/down, as well as steering angle. You end up having the simple numbers with 17 caveats/footnotes for each.
    • Both windows operate normally while the engine is running but start to sag as soon as I switch off.  Does anyone know of reasonably priced replacements or other brands that will fit?
    • Actually PowerFC is probably the easiest to get basic data from, it comes with a hand controller and display so you don't need to remember to pack a laptop every time you drive. It also has a PC based viewing/logging option if required. Nissan used consult on these because back in the mid 80s, ODB was just a glint in a standard's body's eyes.  They switched to OBD shape around 2000 (my 2001 Cima had OBD shaped but not OBD compliant port) With the standard ECU there is a cable and software available to give basic data too, I think it is called Nissan Data Scan or s
