I called stylyn today to get a quote for a mongoose for my GTR

they quoted 580 or 590 for a mongoose M80AU fitted

What im wondering is if i really need this much

Does anyone use a mongoose M80S or even an M60 or somethin

i really wanted to do an elarm + install for around 400 mark??

im not really trying to skimp on 200 bucks

but i am wondering if there is any real difference between the two

like if an M80S does the job, i.e. immobilise and has some kind of siren then i reckon thats good enough

Call Doug from Eastside installs 0402 855 801. Doug installed my mongoose M80S. Top job, good price.

do you mind me asking what u paid for yours

there are suppliers on ns.com that sell the mongoose range, m80S for 190 (unit alone) i think.

and ive been quoted 190 from my local audio guy for an install!

gotta love the factory repairs/seconds...

spend the money and be done with it. if you cannot afford the alarm for the car then in reality you really cannot afford the car.

adam (stylyn) does a top job and skimping doesn't really help anyone.

ok im not really skimping

but all im asking does an M80S do the job

i really dont want 500 sensors in my car and all this crap

I was thinking of it exactly the same way as you are, I just want something that will do the job, I don't want to spend $1,000 for all these extra functions that aren't needed when the car can be stolen just as easily anyway

I just want an alarm that will do its job, as these days nothing is full proof

The M80AU is only $220 including postage, thats what I am thinking about getting as the M80S is only $30 cheaper

It has all the features and options that the M80S, M80G, & M80AM have + Ultrasonics Sensor

I'm not to up to date with alarms and stuff but I have sent the guy a PM requesting for information about the alarm and if the M80AU will be a decent system and include all the necessary features and functions

Installation I figure would cost about $200~ locally here in Victoria, so for $440 you will have a decent alarm supplied and fitted which is about the going rate these days

I will keep you updated

M80AU (Standards Approved) M80AU is the M80S + Ultrasonics Sensor, only difference

Supply and Fit $450

Supply $220 (Free Postage)

Standards black wiring and concealed main plug

Built-in central locking relays (saves on cost of installation)

2 stage unlock (optional)

Boot release (optional)

Dome light supervision (optional)

11 programmable features

5 year product warranty

I got my alarm from travis at stylyn, he did a great job and he's more then willing to explain the difference between the alarms and there benefits. An alarm / Immobaliser isn't where you want to save pennies.

Thats the dumbest thing I have ever heard

not really - if you bought the car and cannot afford parts to fix it when it breaks - same idea. same again for those that cannot afford insurance on it.

ok im not really skimping

but all im asking does an M80S do the job

i really dont want 500 sensors in my car and all this crap

one sensor and an alarm module. does fine.

i got the m80au from Stylyn. Awesome work and considering all the work he does to hide the alarm, its worth the labor cost.

The ultrasonic sensors are small sender/receiver located at the very top corners of the windscreen. Barely even notice them.

Stylyn recommended them because if you have window tint and someone hits your window the window wont shatter. Possibly not activating the glass break sensor (m80G). The ultrasonic sensors detect any movement inside the car so it will detect the window falling in etc. Also you can leave your window down when you're at the petrol station and still arm your car knowing that its safe :action-smiley-069:

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 馃槀 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
