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.

Agree 110%

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
