Hi

I have just about a R33 S2 & will be putting in an alarm on weekend...I have had a quick look & have no idea where to mount (without drilling a hole in actual dash) the Flashing Red LED light? In my old pulsar i just put it in one of the spare detachable little black panels (next to electric mirror switch) but dont have this option in the skyline

Where have you guys mounting yours? (pics would be great)

Thanks

Some have it on the steering column's plastic bit.

Some have it on the left side dash behind the wiper switch, to the right of the clock.

Some have it on the right side dash near where the mirror adjust knob is.

You can pretty much put it anywhere, but the main thing would be to allow others to see it flashing I guess.

Drilling a hole in the dash isnt that bad is it? :

Without sounding like to much of a smart ass. If you dont know how/where to mount the LED, are you quailified to install an alarm. And I dont just mean wire it up and stash it in the kick panel, i mean really wire it in and hide it so it will be useful in a theft and not easy pickings for someone.

As for your question, Dont put an led in, take the theif by surprise evertime, this way, hopefully when they come for your car at 3am on that cold winters morning, they dont come prepared.

My 2c..

Agree if you dont know how to mount an LED you should not be installing an alarm hehe but If you read the post what i was asking is if it could be done without drilling a hole in the dash & where others had mounted theirs. What & wait til they smash your windows to scare them off?

Anyhow...thanks for info guys/gals

A professional wont just guess if you have an alarm or not by looking for a flashing light. They'll come prepared either way, so the flashing light wont tell them any more then they already *should* expect. If they want your car they can get it, LED flashing or not.

I dont understand the concept of not having the LED. Every shit head that thinks they can break into a car, kick the dash and mess with some wires to get it started will be detered by the LED, they wont even think twice about it. Whereas if they dont think there is an alarm they'll smash the window and once the alarm sounds they'll go running.

That still leaves you with a smashed window.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
