I dont know how the second one says "actual Size"...when it depens on what res you got on your pc..hehehe its damn big if you got it on 640x480~ hehe

Nah seriously, i'd go the boomerang. Ive got friends that have them, they are good. Only thing i dont like about it, is you got the cables hanging everywhere cuase the sensor has to be some where open...it looks bad...see how you go.

The Benxon alarm looks like a pretty much copy of the Boomerang.

It has 5 buttons though, must mean easier access to options,

where as the boomerang, there are only 3 buttons hence you

must press them a multitude of times to get to the same feature.

Am i just going around in circles?

The Boomerang overall is a pretty niffy peice of hardware i must

admit. It does have the amplifier box which usually is clipped

to those glare flap things which I think is what OOHSAM was

refering to. It's only one cable about 5mm thick and goes behind

your pillar cover. I'd be suprised if the Benxon alarm didn't have

something simular.

The Boomerangs distance can be shorten drastically by concrete

buildings or buildings in general. This has been tried and proven.

I've seen alarms that state the same figures as the Boomerang

but work no where near as good.

I'm not saying the Boomerang is the best alarm, I know there

are better ones out there but for the functionabilty wise vs others

I've seen and trialed it is still ahead. The cost is the only

drawback. I've only tested the Boomerang so I can't comment on

the other one. Wether you choose to wait or spend more is up to

you.

Just thought i'd put my 2 cents worth with my experiences.

Not wanting to rain on the parade guys but I dont think its a good move to discuss what alarms you all have/are buying especially where you have mentioned the rego of the vehicle concerned on this forum.

Just a thought

      At least you're now aware of the problem and can come up with a solution.

      R34 gtt rb25det neo timing belt kit

      1. No need, it only gets used once then is locked in place by the nut 2. EN-62 point 6 shows the conical washer the other way around (BTW I know we discussed above, I hope you are changing the idler as well, while it is no guarantee the bearing is a actually bad, it looks terrible) 3. I'm not really clear on the question, are you worried because it was easy, not hard, to remove the custom timing trigger? As long as it doesn't spin on the crank (when the bolt is tight) all good 4. Yeah just make sure the brand is easy to read as it rolls past 5. The part number is on the listing under the description, 13023-42L00. Given there is a custom part on there for timing (presumably outside the cover), they may have decided to leave that off; I think I would put the washer in there as it also helps seal the timing case from crap getting in.

      Hey everyone, I recently bought myself a 2001 Nissan Stegea M35, and I've had a few issues that I had to fix, my car would start intermittently and I had a bad rocker cover leak, after a couple days of looking I finally found a part number that interchanges with the OEM starter as the OEM starters at $1300 and I can't afford that, this starter was only $270 and I replaced the start and still had the same issues, I posted a video asking for help online and it went very well, some guy said it was probably a bad ignition switch so I took my dash apart and turns out my ignition switch was half screwed in and was loose, once it was tightened it fired right up, I found a local place called "Boost factory" and they sold me a part of OEM Nissan rocker covers, they were $600 which was a shocker but I couldn't find them anywhere else, so I installed them and fixed my oil leak as the old rocker cover was cracked and warped, I now need to replace my boost air inlet hoses as they have some cracks.
