Hey guys,

I've recently imported a '94 R32 GTR, its finished its compliance process and its soon to be roadworthy and registered.

I have the car insured with Just Cars and it specifies that I need an aus standard immobiliser to be covered by theft, currently my car has nothing.

I know this may sound stupid but what I was looking into was a Viper alarm as i can get remote start and what not. I talked to a just cars rep and asked if an alarm/immobiliser meets the aus requirements will the car be covered for theft, they said yes. but what confuses me is some of the things I've read here and heard from others that it won't be covered unless its aus standard approved or something.

Now I don't know what to do. I'm looking at getting either the Viper 5901/2 or the Mongoose M80 range.

Any help will be appreciated, Thanks

The Viper does not meet the Australian Standards requirements, which stipulates the following:

All black wiring, minimum of 2 onboard immobiliser circuits (recommend 3), passive immobilisation after engine is turned off, code hopping remote controls and the immobiliser should not be able to be bypassed by just removing the fuse.

All Australian Standards Immobiliser's and Alarm's need to have passed stringent testing and certificates are issued for each product.

Insurance companies may want to see proof that you have an Australian Standards immobiliser ie Invoice or Receipt from where you buy it, which they can check with a list they should have of all approved immobilisers.

There are a large range of Australian Standards Alarms and immobiliser's around that you can choose from but none of them will have the remote start feature, so you will need to choose between Security and Convenience.

Have fun... :cool:

Thanks Leon,

It looks like I'm going to go for the Mongoose M80AU and get my sister to be the remote start for the car in the morning lol.

I was wondering if I can get a rough indication on an installed price.

I've been quoted about $600, thats apparently with something for keyless hook up as well. Is that a fair price or excessive?

:worship:

      R34 RB20DE NEO + T ONLY

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      See my post here If you put the Haltech in, you won't have to worry about any of that. And, in case you're worrying about my lack of credentials in doing your exact swap, I put a Neo in an R32. There has never been a stock boost solenoid near my car and the Neo's ECU has never cared. Nor should it, because it is electronically impossible for it to care.

      That's 100% wrong. Did you wire in the boost sensor? If you did not, then that is 101% your answer. Neo ECUs do suck a bit.

      R34 RB20DE NEO + T ONLY

      By Sxnjeet · Posted

      Hello, I'm trying to make this thread basically the thread with all the answers to common questions regarding specifically the RB20 DE NEO + T engine, that comes in the R34. Answers will and only should be provided by those who have done this conversion or actually have some relevant real life experience please. Please feel free to ask questions in the comments if you have any so other members can answer. I feel like this thread is really needed, especially with more Americans buying (unknowingly going to regret it too) rb20 neo r34s. My first question being - What do you guys use for tuning? I have purchased a haltech elite 2500 Plug and play kit for the rb25det NEO because the ecu plug is the same, but I am unsure if any of the pins would need to be repined to match. Second question that I see asked very often - After this conversion, did you install the boost solenoid/ actuator? I see many people doing a + T setup on their rb20 NEOs while running stock RB25DET NEO ECUs with no tune. I am wondering how they are going about doing that and consistently abusing the car because many of these people have had these untuned setups running for a very long time. That was my original plan, but my engine cuts out at 5 psi of boost using the stock ecu with no tune and no boost solenoid/actuator.

      interesting. ive read and heard otherwise over the past year. ive been doing this +t conversion on a rb20 neo using all oem rb25det neo parts including the ECU, and im having engine cut out issues when I hit around 5 psi of boost. Everywhere/everyone ive asked has told me its because I never wired in a boost solenoid/actuator to the ecu, so the ecu isn't getting the right signal once it hits 5 psi of boost, causing the engine to get shut off.
