Hi All,

I'm a new member ( excellent site ) get my R32 GTR in a week. Needs immobiliser for rego, thought id best go for an alarm. BUT. I dont fancy just dropping it off somewhere i dont know and have them joyriding around in it while they fit an alarm. Does anyone have any recommendations ? or mobile fitters who would come to my place ? Any alarms to avoid ??

Cheers.........

I would say any car stereo joint, but like you say, anyone can just go joyriding... would have to think about that...

Yep, my thoughts exactly, so you end up saying I'll wait for it, dont fancy that much either, its not a 5 min job really.

Try Raheem @ Jshop. I trust him, he's helped me out wiith numerous things. Is a ceritified Cyclops alarm installer. (I had him install a cyclops with microwave sensors that are adjustable)

New Address: Unit 5/117 Ewing St in Welshpool 9358 4969

(they might not be open until monday)

Ok, thanks i will give him a ring. What did the alarm cost you ?

as long as you go to a legit place that get a fair bit of business theyre not too likely to go joyriding. Its dodgy little garages that seem a bit crappy that i would look out for. But hey what do i know :)

Hil all, I have had a quote from CRONIC CAR AUDIO :

Remote immobiser for $150 or full alarm fitted for $290 it is an Autowatch 160rli they are government and insurance approved

Seems like a good price, just posted it incase anyone else needs one too....

See Shane @ Alberts Joondalup OR Dave @ Alberts Myaree. They'll look after your car and do a neat and professional install of the Autowatch series of alarms. I'd recommend the Blueline with in-cabin movement sensors, glass/bonnet/door/boot protection, and some bullshit encryption thingo...

;)

Just check your odometer before you drop the car off. I don't think anyone's going to go to the trouble of winding it back just so they can go for a thrash.

I got my alarm done by Raheem. Good price and good job.

    • Those 2 solenoids in that assembly I mention, are the PWM solenoids for torque converter lock-up clutch & EPC (line pressure control) ~ when most folks hear of 'solenoid failure', the tendency is to think electrical failure...but fact of the matter is, especially wrt the EPC solenoid (which is moving/running all the time), you can have an electrically 'good' solenoid, that's absolutely broken/worn out mechanically inside...ie; valve plunger return spring rubbing against spring retainer plate, lowering preload pressure.. ...and the solenoid armature extension limit spring wafer with bad wear/broken off petals... ...and if there's ever been any metal flying about, damage to the valve plunger end itself... ...the stuff one never really sees, unless you go the whole 10yards trying to answer the question "why is my line pressure screwy, but TCU isn't flagging any EPC solenoid fault?"...and carefully dissect the solenoid. Worst (and most probable) scenario is when the plate spring petals break off, they get held by the magnetic flux, get mashed up by the armature into little bits, which end up in the space between the armature & shading core bore, and things get stuck or randomly jam up, and your line pressure goes flat and doesn't change...and the TCU never sees it, as it doesn't actively monitor LP... ..then it gets into insidious land, if you end up with lower than expected line pressure...lets say high clutch..and the lower pressure causes it to slip ~ when I say 'slip', think say 2000rpm on the drive plates, and 1800rpm on the driven plates, because the slip is making them under-rotate by 200rpm ; you get all the usual nasties like heat and band/clutch wear, but even if it's only 20rpm slip the same thing happens...and... you'll hardly ever pick this up driving the thing with the torque converter active as it effectively masks these sorts of slippages that are line pressure related ...(the newer TCUs can detect clutch slip rate)...just  FYI as it were...
