just wanting to know what a good cheap security system would be and how much ...?

depends on what you want

they can range anywhere from $100 (not including installation), You can give mongoose a call (not sure on how much they charge for their alarms), or JB hifi, wow sight sound, autobarn, supercheap.

you want one that atleast conforms to insurance standards, so i'd be speaking to your insurance company to see what they require to be covered, then go to the shops and tell them what your insurance company require.

i got a 2nd hand mongoose m800 if y'all want it... its all there, ive painstakingly followed each wire to its connection and removed it, damn pain in the rear end to remove, buggered if i know how to wire it up again.... but its all there, worked great, immobilised, worked with the central locking, made a beep beep noise, flashed the indicators, made a noise if battery going flat..

pm me if anyone wants it, going cheap.

dont bother with a "cheap" security system... either spend the money or dont put anything on it... because if someone really wanted to steal your skyline they will... thats my advise

location please. budget?

To be honest i only want to spend $100-$150 fitted, lees if i can get away with it, just needs to be a general deterent, comply with insurance requirements and make the central locking on my 91 fairlane daily remote.

i have a Quick release boss kit for my steering wheel (almost definately illegal), id like to see someone steal my car in a hurry, freakin near on impossible, unless they bring 1 with them,,,

when I lived in LA my G/F bro had a steering wheel that came off, we came out to see some crips pushing the lowrider down the street with vicegrips for the steering wheel... so dont think that will stop anyone for more then 5 seconds.

buy a big dog to ride shotgun..lol

really you need to budget a bit for security , if not how can you expect to afford to drive one at all ??? I know budgets are tight but do it right or pay for it twice ?? or worse it gets nicked without insurance due to a lack of a few hundred dollar alarm on it. common sense really ???

raise that budget to about $300-$350 and you will actually get something worth having on your car and installed properly. for $100-$150 I wouldn't bother. may as well put that money on number 3 in race number 7 at caufield..... at least if you win then you can afford an alarm.

seriously, $100 is like 1 weeks worth of fuel. catch the bus/train/lifts for 2 weeks or so then you have your alarm money. :P

lol, I was going to bump Audio Express.

$500 or so dollars and you get an alarm installed that goes off if someone farts in the general direction. :P

there's not really such a thing. you will find that 90% of the shops you vist won't really give a rats when they sell you the thing and the installers won't either.

when doing an alarm it is the install that is the most important bit.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
