okay, things you need to know.

viper is overpriced for not being not australian standard, and therefore, not going to do anything for your insurance. if you have one fitted and your car gets stolen, then tough luck, they're not an approved alarm. They have a coloured wiring harness, would take someone about 2 seconds to find the right wire to cut off and disable the system.

i do believe however, that they have an australian standards one coming out.

i sell these alarms because people for some reason ask for them. we fitted one with remote start to a supra probably 12 months ago, the car was sold a month later into brisbane, then stolen, because remote start makes it even easier to steal.

you need to buy a mongoose M80S. they have three point immobilization, all black wiring harness, turbo timer interface, a siren and you can add things like window wind up modules and boot release solenoids. cheap as chips, australian standards approved, very good quality, insurance approved, widely sold. Just make sure a professional installs it, not your mates dad who is an auto electrician, because they'll make a mess of it. get someone who fits them regularly to install it for you, dont skimp on fitting.

and dont get microwave or ultra sonic sensors, just a gimmick and a waste of money, they dont work.

wow...

didnt think my topic would get this much attention...

see your local autobarn. lifetime fitting warranty, hard to beat.

ive read alot about alarms with turbo timers...

how does that work? for instance the m80g?

does it basically have the turbo timer unit that is wired through the alarm?

but do you have controll over that turbo timer?

am looking for the new 2009 m60g

I have had a Viper in my GTR for almost 10 years now... Damm battery in remote requires changing every few years... They are awesome!!!

Perfect installation is very very important, pay extra for a perfect job.

paid 1000 for my viper with pager and window wind up.

didnt care needed it, just get it installed by a pro in melbournes north recommend JB Epping.

Good to deal with and even after a month took it back with a small prob fixed for free so there good to deal with.

just make sure they dont install the valet button near ur feet!!

My mate drove my car and her has smaller feet than me and snapped it so i had to get a new button, not a major pain but still CBF came into it quick.

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
