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.

I wish! believe it or not this is how I pay for a 30 year old house and feed my kid.

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) :)

who has the car? westend in armidale?

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.

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
