What alarm would do YOU have on your Zed?

[Jared350z]

Once I get my car back from having the engine rebuilt I want to put a better alarm in my pride and joy. I already have a Sterling alarm but I only have one fob! hence why I want a new one and a decent one. I am expecting to pay about £300 - £450.

 

Would like to know what you guys have and preferably one that does go off when the wind changes ha ha.

I'm sure the 350Z has a Cat 1 Thatcham approved alarm as standard so I don't really see the point in wasting money on another one unless you're after the remote start feature that some of them have.

Mine came with a Sterling alarm as the standard fob doesn't work. I only have one fob and don't have much faith/knowledge on the current alarm hence why I want to waste my money on a decent one. Also I'm having my engine rebuilt and new exhaust so I'd like to protect it as much as I can.

 

 

Know what I mean?

If yours is a JDM then it needs a UK alarm, if your car is UK supplied car then the alarm is sufficient.

Is your sterling alarm fob a half moon? I think it's toad alarms that can program new fobs for it. All you need to do is find the alarm box and get the code from it. I was quoted £25 for a new fob.

I know it's a repost but it's still funny.

What you need is a Trunk Monkey.....

You could try getting genuine key with uncut blades off eBay, get them coded and swap the blades over.

Is your car UK or JDM?

Is your car UK or JDM?

 

its a JDM

[BulletMagnet]

Ah, ok, JDM needs an approved Thatcham CAT1.

When I had my JDM Gen4 Prelude 2.2 VTEC, I had a Clifford system fitted, cost was about £300 - £350 and fitted by Clifford certified fitter.

If I had to choose an alarm again, I would choose Clifford everytime

Even if it's a uk we should get new alarms. The zed alarm is very quiet, even when you're in the car.

Agree with that! I have set my own alarm off a few times now when I get my bike out of my garage and ride slowly past the Zed, it's a sensitive alarm (although a loud bike also).

[bamdc2]

You will be fine, as its a JDM no one will want to nick it!!

(JOKE!)

 

Had a Clifford on my JDM Integra, was really good.

[WhackyWill]

Agree with BulletMagnet , Clifford is the way to go..cannot fault them.

[samsniss350z]

Couldn't agree more. Get yourself a Clifford, fitted by a man from Clifford.

Even better if the fitters name is Clifford

[GMballistic]

If I had to buy an alarm it would be either Clifford or Toad. Had both makes in the past and have been excellent value for money with some great features.

 

The Toad alarm I had was fitted to my car at home by a mobile alarm fitters and only cost me around £350 for a Cat 1 Thatcham approved alarm.

This happens with mine aswell, got to squeeze through the gap between mine and the mrs car and its only ever my alarm that goes off
