PLZ NOONE BID THIS.....rekon it'z better to get this then get Jetspeedz one?

then this came up

http://www.asiapacific.com.my/xinhai/product07.html

for $400.......but gotta wait for 3-5 weekz though

opinionz plzzzzzz.........

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.

Yeah its in a friends car, holden astra, plates - DIGDIS

Jetspeed made the kit and fited the alarm...

cables for the sensor visible, but thats how its spose to be or it wont work properly. I aint knockin jetspeed, they are good.

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

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
