Hi Peoples

Like the titles says is the problem. The alarms been in the car for about 2 and half years and its a viper (Cant remember the model). Usually when i click the button it will immobilise the car and lock the doors as well. But now it will only immobilise the car and leave the door unlocked. I then have to use the button on the key to lock the doors.

Same with opening the car ive got to open the door with the key and then press the alarm button(or else the alarm goes off).

Any idea on what i have to check. Ive noticed that near the fuse box inside the car theres a couple of fuses and other stuff all taped up.

Help !!!!

I recken... if the motor in the driver door is stuffed, it wouldn't trigger the passenger door. Using the key physically moves the lock, which triggers the passenger door.

If you unlock the passenger side with the key, does the drivers come up? Do you know if it used to before the problem?

The car has factory keyless entry. If i press the button on the key it locks and opens all the doors fine. Its only when i press the button on the alarm remote that it wont lock the doors.

Is there any possible way that the remote/ alarm might have lost its setting, somthing to do with the frequency coz i know that once an alarm is fitted to a call it has to be programmed or sumting.

either way i rather leave it to the experts, you guys :ermm:

Help!!

ohhhhhhh... you have two remotes!?

An original that works, therefore the motors are fine, and one aftermarket that has just stopped working.

I'm no "Mister Alarm", but i'd guess that a wire has been snipped somehow.... if the remote lost it's frequency or scramble code, it wouldn't even immobilise the car for you.

Enter: Chris again!

ok that clarifies things. so they have added a second actuator onthe drivers door. (god knows why - its not needed!)

that extra actuator seems to have failed. what needs to happen here is the FACTORY item needs to be connected to the alarm and the addon removed. if you are in SEQLD I can do this for you and set it up properly.

by your tag I would say this is in a 32?

your problem has nothing to do with the remotes btw.

The tag is just the ranking for the amount of posts. =-]

My R33 had a dealer-optioned central locking too, but it wasn't remote central locking. The alarm installer used the original motor to wire up my alarm, so what Chris is saying makes a lot of sense. The alarm installer I had said that a lot of places don't know or think to tap into that original motor, so you could well have a second one in there that has stopped working.

Chris is in QLD, as he says, otherwise the mob called "Security In Motion" did my system, and the guy was excellent. Sydney-based.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
