Hey guys, do 89 z's come with an immobiliser standard? For insurance purposes i need a 2 point immobiliser to "australian standards" fitted. So i guess my question is, how do I know if i have this 2 point immobiliser to aust standards? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks heaps
Also.... Any chance of my turbo timer and immobiliser screwing each others functions up? To be honest I don'tknow a whole lot about these things, thus, the newbie status, so any advice would be handy! Thanks again
No immobiliser as standard there is no immobiliser as standard issue. But neither was there a turbo timer. So a question, did the car come with remote door open or just the key ? I ask because the standard is just key operated, so if you do have a remote, you may have an alarm. An immobiliser will generally stop the engine from running, but a two point may possibly be rigged not to, ie it just kills/isolates the starter motor and the battery. It may be best to check out getting a well constructed [ expensive ] immobiliser that the installers say will not interfer with the continued timed idle of the car trough the timer. do a google re australian standards car alarm and you will get an explaination of the standards eg Racv site
They don't have one stock. Over 15 years, someone might have fitted one If you're buying it locally, the owner would know. If you have a turbo timer fitted, they have to set the immobiliser up so that the timer is integrated into it. They charge extra for this.
It has an alarm remote control entry.... auto lock, and the guy i bought it from said it was fitted with an immobiliser... but you know what insurance companies are like.... "australian standard" could mean anything. Are there any straight forward ways to check these things? or should i get a pro to check it out?also...... the timer isnt installed yet, but is getting installed soon, just trying to sus out anything that could cause problems once its in.
USE THE LINK:wacko: Use the link just 15 inches up your screen [ if you had 3 x 21" like me :LOL:] and go to the rcav site, it will tell you what aust Standard means. And if your having the timer fitted by an actual auto electrician, they will tell you what the alarm is, and your insurance company will want a reciept or some documentation showing that the alarm is up to standard, AND you WANT this, because if you cannot prove it was, then IF you car gets stolen they CAN say no pay, Particuarly if it comes back thrashed and they find the aralrm was not standard - not a good outcome just to save a few hundred $s
