I paid towards the top end of the $400 range (about $470 I think). I went through Action Alarms (good people, also a SAUWA consolidated workshop), came out to my house the same day, fixed my central locking (wasn't working properly), installed an immobiliser aswell as a kick-ass alarm system with built in turbo timer.

Give Action Alarms a call, I cannot reccomend them more.

Or if you're around Osborne Park Westside Car Audio do a good job also and are very friendly.

i was quoted around 500 for an autowatch installed, but i just bought a cyclops with all the same features for under $150 and installed it myself. i got a turbo timer chip with mine too so i can run an aftermarket turbo timer, coz the built in ones would suck, if a cop pulls you over u cant switch your car off, and u cant adjust how long u wanna idle it for.

I have an AutoWatch one with built in turbo timer and the timer length is long enough I think (a few minutes at least). If you want to turn your car off earlier you just press a button on the remote twice to stop it so it's not really a problem.

Yeah I paid about $500 for my autowatch installed and all... guy's pretty good but I had some issues with it, he replaced parts for free (as he should). Overall pretty happy with it :D

Yeh, my alarm has the built in turbo timer, hit the button twice and it turns off.

Guys, be careful when you get your alarms installed. Most installers throw them in as quickly as possible, which means they are quite visiable and easily accessable to thieves. Best way to do it is pull the entire dash apart, hide it right at the back, making it IMPOSSIBLE to be bypassed by theives.

      My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered

      No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
