Hey All,

I was doing some research for my stalling problem (getting service done tuesday to fix it) and some people suggested loose wires near the ECU under the kick panel. I checked out mine, the kick panel is the panel above the brake/accel/clutch yeah?

I found a loose wire and the place where it was supposed to go, so I connected it up and the alarm went off instantly (door was open). I then started up the engine and it went off. It all seems fine now.

Had someone disabled the trigger wire for the siren and alert or possibly come loose? its a white opaque double ended clip with two small holes, and two red wires that come from behind the firewall connect to it with metal insert clips...

Has anyone else had any simular occurances? Am I ok to keep this wire connected?

Some alarm systems have a system over-ride wire that runs out of the black box so if there is a malfunction all you have to do is earth it and it bypasses all the immobilisers etc. Some installers wire it up to a hidden switch, others just leave it disconnected. Personally I think they are a security risk.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Getting Dangerously close to being ready to go back in the car. Rockers in with clearance castings now (and a quick check with the USA for the torque settings for the larger custom bolts) Covers and ported FAST Manifold sitting on there. Not fully tightened down as there's some clearancing required for the water pump with the earlier LS1 water pump styles. Example of the clearancing needing to be done: The body has to be ground a little but I'm struggling finding an actual piece of it. The later variant of water pump resolves the issue as the manifold was designed around it. It only came on the VZ LS1 in Australia, it got a different pulley for Gen4 motors. (it also costs $450... vs... $0).

      Doing some height adjustment on front suspension on a v35 and noticed this. The passenger side looks correct. So wondering what's happened to the drivers side?

      Oh...I have the electric mirrors as well iirc ...they're in the same state as just about every other R31 door mirrors, with the 3 plastic screw towers broken/cracked in the plastic molding. All the interior is 'dry', so the mirror switches etc likely all work fine. Some pics below of the trimmer pieces ~ looks to me like previous owner, painted chrome finished trims with black paint ...ergo, the chrome underneath is likely a-ok... ...starts to look yukky posting stuff like this, how much did it cost in fuel on your last sortie up this way?...me just thinking aloud, borrow someone else's 4cyl to cut costs, come do your own pick'n'pull like before to save me some bother...hehe.. but whatever, I'll just earmark bits I know you want, because the way this is all panning out, I'll be able to retire the R31 from daily duty at long last, replacing it with a Subaru wagon I'm lining up in the wings...ergo, my attitude towards the donor pinny shell is starting to wane a bit, and I'm more than happy to help you out there... Like you say though, no rush...and I'll guarantee we won't be moving too far from this locale at any rate 😎
