Fella's after an opinion on alarms that are suitable for adelaide vehicles. I realise some of the pager or GPS systems arent set up to work here yet (or never), and would like to know if there are any favourites amongst you all.

Things like costings and where to get installed would also help.

Check out the standards.

Not many come up to scratch.

Here's a link to some requirements which is pretty high from Young and Cool Insurance.

Here is a link to the Immobiliser/Alarm that they recommend.

I looked in to it and they are a very good alarm. Black wire etc etc

The alarm version is around $600.

for me i just got an alarm from autobarn cause a few of my friends got the same one ... i say just go to a reputable shop and ask to see what they have .. .check out the specs to see if it meets your needs ... can vary in price alot ... but i think its also important to park your car in secure places and not to rely solely on the alarm ...

anybody have good or bad things to say about the Boomerang system. Seems like an expensive option, but good to know that the alarm will page you if it goes off (and you are in range) rather than relying on other peoples reaction to a blarring car alarm.

i cannt find any info of tracking systems operating in adelaide

the subscription to these would be a pain in the a$$, but nice piece of mind

have heard stories of tracking boxes being found on the road where a stolen car was once parked..... i suppose not hidden well enough

U would need a GPS based tracking system in that case, Brant does this but would cost just under 2k. Maybe you can find another similar but i doubt it would be cheap. If the tracking system was found out of the car then im thinking the guy had to much time with the car, the tracking system main purpose is to alert someone that it is being stolen/broken into, so you can take action agaist this.

I put a boomerang in with all the options, i believe it is the best investment i have made in the car. I love all the options it gives you, and i wouldn't put anything else in my car's now.

I've got a clifford Alarm Arrow 2 and that isn't certified as it isn't Australian Certified.

So If the car got stolen and I was insured with them they wouldn't cover it.

Also you need to get a place to fill out the certificate they gave you.

I ended up going with Famous Car insurance in WA as they were 1093 with the mods listed FMIC didn't increase the $$ as it doesn't increase performance. :)

And they do fortnightly direct debits. That will come in handy in 2 months when I go to uni. No money.. :) argggg

I've got a boomerang system in the R34.Haven't bothered to find out about all the options yet.It does seem to work well, but I never leave the car anywhere unsecure so it hasn't been set off before(touch wood).The battery does seem to go flat very quickly.

The EVO doen't have an alarm or a stereo.Will have to look into that(when I get it that is)

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
