For me is the Mongoose M80.

Called up Stylyn Audio in VIC

(http://www.stylyn.com/

Stylyn- Focal, MB Quartz, RockFord Fosgate, Alpine, ALARMS etc

268 Dorset Rd, Boronia - (03) 9739 8866)

They quoted me $250 for that specific alarm in my specific car (R32 GTS-T) (including remote central locking). $600 providing the alarm for me.

Still a bit of a shame cause found the alarm cheap here ($250) and this doesn't come with some accessories:

not really... if you have been at it for over 20 yrs you will see some shockers. most think an alarm can be fitted by anyone. it can. whether or not it works and does the intended job properly when fitted poorly is another question.

also do you honestly think that if you lowballed every shop for audio and security that these shops would be around for long. we have overheads and that comes out in what we charge for our jobs.

the short of it. if you have not got a clue on what you are doing - don't attempt it - pay a professional .

Alright so Chris, what's the lowest price as a SAU member that i can get the alarm fitted and installed by Stylyn Auto? (They provide the M80 alarm too). Need this done in a weeks time, thanks.

lol why would you ask another business how much it would cost to get an alarm installed elsewhere. Silly question!!

Edit: Also dont be cheap. Afterall your alarm will be protecting your car which is worth thousands of dollars.

Sid,

they will be cheap - it the nature of the beast to spend $20 securing $20K of car... then they whinge bitch and complain when the insurance company refuses to pay up.

LOL you may think it was a silly question but i thought maybe he remembered some 'special' quotes off the top of his head or something as they seem to know each other. I know it's just a fraction of the price of the car but not everyone is balling with money like you are :(

we do indeed know each other. we make it a practice of keeping pricing to our relevant markets. if you want a price from stylyn call them. that said I may be down there in a few weeks anyway.

my stags in getting a gps unit fitted with remote start/shut off and all that jazz. i'll let you know what it cost me tomorrow when i pick it up. my last car was pinched so security is a big issue for me, i actually dropped my car off 120km's away to get it fitted by an experienced professional. there are alot of cowboys out there and ive had so many friends have immobiliser problems down the track from poorly fitted systems. It's your wheels bro, do it once, do it right i say :)

Definately well said about done once done proper. Rent-A-Tint (franchise) in Dandenong would do it for $550 and because i'm getting tints there as well i could get it cheaper. If you want more details let me know, could probably try a group buy type thing there if you guys interested :)

doh may have jinxed myself lol. if anyone knows if the nm35 stagea has a single wire to lock all the doors and close the windows (total close wire) and how to locate it you could save me a few bucks. the guys installing the system have said it will save them a few hours if i can find this out for them. Thanks (sorry for hijacking your thead lol) :)

why did you buy an ebay alarm???

didn't get it off ebay, got it through envy systems (www.envysystems.com.au) , mate of mine bought one and had it fitted to his subi through them and says it's great. He had some kids break into his house and the first he knew of it was when he heard his car start, they'd made it three blocks by the time he shut it down and ll they got away with were a couple of cd's and the boost gauge they ripped off the dash. because of the system he was able to locate and start his car without keys and get it back in the driveway before the cops even arrived, can't argue too much with that i thought.

      I don’t really have any ideas how to set the timing on the CAS 😂, sounds like the top, sounds like it maybe misfiring as well as ticking,  got the box sorted 😌, must of been a air bubble on the clutch side

      Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.

      Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.
