mine is a mongoose aswell...button 2 and then 1 will make it silent, but i like the lil chirp ;)

also, when you unlock it, if you dont put your key in and turn it to ON, the engine will immobilise...

press both the buttons n the alarm goes off ;)

Chirping is kinda like that whole fad of wearing your mobile phone on your belt so everyone could see you had one. Never liked that either.

What happens if somebody is standing around at a shopping centre, etc waiting for nice looking cars to arrive that don't appear to have any alarm? Then running up while you leave your turbo timer going (not that i have one, as its a security risk) and are that comfortable 20-30m away.

I know I'd prefer to have the audible warning, in the small likelihood of this happening.

my one has the facility where - if my turbo timer is going, I can lock the door - it will wait till turbo timer finishes than arms itself.. this is quite handy as I can get up and walk away, unless they are super quick they haven't got much chance, i also tend to not leave my car running e.g. turbo timer and walk off, tend to let it finish..

as for chirping, got the choice - button 1 - 3 chirps, button 2 - 1 quick quiet one.. having a keypad is quite a good deterrent as well..

If any of the alarm inputs are triggered (i.e. door/bonnet/boot and or any other additional sensors installed) the engine will be cut and immobilised, all doors lock and alarm on.

mine has the turbo timer thing too, i can arm the alarm and it locks but does not immobilise till engine stops, smart critter. Also has stealth arming for sneaking into your girlfriends place at 4 in the morning without waking her parents, but mine remembers that you silent armed it and silent disarms too

Took me a while to work this function out, thought I was just going crazy, but when i walk to the car, once I disarm the alarm, if I don't open the door within about 30seconds-1min, it rearms itself. Pain in the arse sometimes, but i guess its in case you knock the disarm button walking away.

hmm  anyone else's do that?

yeh, i understand ur problem, mine does that too, but i think u can change a few things like that with the unit, u can delay it a little more so that it gives u a little bit more time. mine is also annoying with the immobilisor, if u dont start the car within 30 secs, after disarming the alarm the immobilisor arms itself and u have to unlock/disarm the alarm again in order to start the car.. but hey it works fine and i dont really care so long as it doesnt get stolen

chirp, definatly, just so that i know that my car is locked, if i hear the chirp it stays with me so i dont have to be like

"did i lock my car? *contemplates getting up and going out and checking* fkn hell! *gets up and goes to make sure the car is locked*" :P

+ the whole 4am in the morning thing? its not like a chirp is going to wake up the ENTIRE neighbourhood, a little chirp or beep i think is good :unsure:

im still trying to work out my remote, has 4 buttons, 1,2,3,0

the guy i bought the car off said 3 didnt do anything, yet when i press it the red light about the key hole in the dash will blink.

when the turbo timer finishes the car unlocks. scary.

and beat this, when i have the bonnet open and arm the car, it starts when i shut the bonnet.. either that or when i shut the bonnet, and then try to arm it.

remote has a little "Kings Gun" written on it and has a little screen above the 4 buttons if it means anything to any one

it chirps as well tho sometimes i can silent arm it but then i dont realize how i did it :D

mine has the chirps on, i can change it, but i haven't bothered...the beeps arent that loud anyway, but i can walk away from the car and arm it and not have to look back

you guys have skylines, so i dont think you need to worry about a little beep waking people up lol

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Thanks for the reply, So i've continued playing around, and fitted the injector adaptors onto the injector, the fuel rail is not able to be mounted now as the injectors sit a bit further out. I suppose the point of the adaptors is so that the injector nozzle isn't so deep into the intake? I suppose 1mm extra on the o-ring would do it but still can't mount the rail onto the intake haha. Waiting on a reply from Aeroflow I'm sure there's something stupid that I'm missing...

      GReddy Injector Help!

      I have a radium fuel rail on my Greddy manifold and used the supplied radium fuel injector to manifold adapters (The round green things pictured). I did always wonder if you could just go ahead and use the second lower hole like you're doing... Wouldn't thicker o-rings solve your issue?

      Does anybody use the Firestryker or Element sticks?

      From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys.
