I'll be installing a full 2 way remote start alarm on my Z within the next month or two. I've already done some research involving the factory alarm arm/disarm function as well as the CAN-Bus interface. It looks like it won't be too difficult, but I'm unsure how the factory door handle arming will end up working out. I'll have a front and rear shock sensor, (2) vertical motion (jacking) sensors, a back up battery, and a glass break. I'll be doing a complete write up on the process.

Pertaining to the motion sensor... don't do it unless you have a convertible or jeep. They false very easily due to the metal in your car. Unfortunately your only realistic and reliable detection will be the glass break, door sensors, and shock sensor.
