R33 Alarm

[mbate23]

Hi, I bought my 1997 r33 gts-25t about a week ago and it didn't have an alarm. After going around to various places to get quotes for one, when I was cleaning my car the other day I noticed a strange box underneath the dash. After googling the 4 letters that were actually in english on it I found out that it's an alarm system, however I didn't get the remote with it. I was just wondering if it's usual for importers not to give you the remote? Also is it possible for an alarm shop to install another brand remote to work with this system?

Thanks

Matt

usally the dealer wont even see the remote to the alarm, they will just get a key to the car and thats it, wethere its from the remote being lost on transport or just not being sold with the car, as for another brand remote programed to it, it all depends on the alarm its self, maybe you should post up what letters you found on the alarm and anything else you know about the alarm system, i know chris rogers knows alot about different brands of alarms and remotes, as for me im know knowegable on alarm remotes and what alarms they will work with, just how to knstall them. one of you better options in the end might just be to have a professional install a new alarm and remove the old one.

tear it out, and re-fit a mongoose m80.

all black wiring, insurance approved, on board turbo timer relays, three point immobilization... about $299 plus install...

could well be the dealer fitted nissan/alpine thing I remove. is there a security light on the dash that is marked 'seciruty'?

easier to rip the lot and put a proper one in. (properly!)

Thanks for the replies, I was thinking that getting a new one installed would be the best way, just thought that I might be able to save some money by just getting a remote coded to it. The current alarm is http://blog.livedoor.jp/joy_carlife/archives/64868838.html. I just used googled translator to translate it. Does anyone know approximately how much it would cost to get a mongoose M80 installed?

Awesome, I did get a quote from them, they were the cheapest and definitely the friendliest and seemed very professional. Thanks for all your help man. Much appreciated
