Hey y'all!

I tried searching up the best security systems for my GTR R32 and had been given quotes on Mongoose and Viper.

There had been mixed reviews but i realised there are sorta outdated forum responses. 

I am seeking advice as to which security alarm system is better and perhaps, dropping down anyone best for the job to install.

Thank you!

Alarms don't do much other than maybe something psychological.

Install a GPS tracker in the dash and a transponder immobilizer to deter easy theft. Something like the Autowatch 573PPi will work well enough. GPS trackers are tougher to figure out as they are often region dependent. Trackmate makes one that hides well in the dash but they have an extra monthly surcharge for Australia so that affects the pricing.

If you're considering security, think about physical items for you home/shed too.

 

Think bollards, gates, cameras. Also chaining your car down as well as making it difficult to get out of the driveway.

 

As a minimum, your car needs a good immobiliser/alarm and a kill switch. GPS tracking is also a good idea.

Thank you all. I have considered your advice and also from a car workshop. 

I have gone with Autowatch + GPS tracking. And i have also installed a dashcam.

@l0ckym - As i staying in an apartment unit with a shared garage, I am unable to enjoy the same kind of physical items. BUT, i have gotten myself a steering lock.

Thankssss guys!

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......

      I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.

      IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰

      Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
