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.

      Um. No. Since Matt introduced the TIM it has become a lot easier to deal with the consequences of changing K for AFM and injector swaps. Then, tuning is a f**king doddle. No-one needs to know or care how many grams of air are flowing or any other bullshit. Need more fuel in a cell? Add more fuel. Need more timing in a cell. Add more timing. Need to adjust any of the other tables for warm up and so on? No harder than anything else. Sure - it's not an ECU system for starting from scratch on an arbitrary engine. But then.....it was never supposed to be, not recommended for, and almost never used that way. So.... On your engine, in particular, Nistune/Nissan OEM is about as sophisticated and difficult as banging 2 rocks together. Those ECUs are primitive and simple. There is nothing difficult there. I learnt Nistune from scratch, created new maps with extended axes, interpolated/extrapolated the original maps onto them and tuned my RB20 (basically the same ECU as your 26 ECU) all by myself, more than 20 years ago. And that was long before even TIM.

      Set of knee pads for a R34. Will fit every model I think. Comes with everything except the rubber covers for the bolt holes. Still in great condition. You will need to drill holes to mount these or use double sided tape. I can do free shipping and will be shipping from the Netherlands with tracking.

      Nistune needs something like an entire excel spreadsheet in which you build an abstraction layer that converts everything from real units you can actually measure into all of the various tables. The number of unexpected dependencies hiding in how the Nissan ECUs do math is a pretty impressive optimization trick for 8-bit MCUs but good god is it awful to actually work with in practice.
