If you're only going to put in a cheap alarm - why bother? They thieves will probably be able to bypass it anyway.

You're trying to protect your investment in a vehicle here - make something you get ADR/insurance approved - black wiring, 3 point immobilisation, etc. And get it installed by a professional. There are reasonably priced options out there.

As for sensitivity - it really comes down to how it's setup. A quality installer won't make it go off from a loud exhaust going past, etc.

don't go cheap, unless your buying a old junkyard dog for security ?

a cheap alarm will cause headaches and lack of use because of fase alarms, and use a good installer too. ???

Turn out the ultrasonics & shock sensor.

Most alarms are easy to install, I've always done them myself and do it rather differently to most auto electricians so they're not installed in the usual spot.

If your a Vic member there is an alarm installer than does discounted installs for SAU members.

His alarm isn't perfect but its installed carefully and works...

That said, don't you want a decent alarm? Or is this not your good car?

      Nope, still smaller rear, put on the 4inch exhaust and picked up power everywhere, ended up just shy of 800rwhp.   Didn't seem to be hitting any walls either, so perhaps could have pushed for more but all maybes and the fish that got away etc etc.

      This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.

      Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛

      Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it
