G'Day guys!

I recently had an Mongoose M80 series alarm fitted to my 32GTR.(supplied by Chris Rogers) All had seemed well up until the other nite. Sometimes the passenger door is not locking (which is a seperate issue) so as I walk away from the car I normally try to open the door just to ensure it has locked. The other nite when I did this the car was still running on the turbo timer. The passengger door had not locked. I had already armed the alarm. When i opened the door, the alarm DID NOT trigger.

Is this supposed to be the case? Bcoz I am sure that when I was at the alarm place even when the car was on the turbo timer the alarm triggered if the perimeter was breached.

This morning I did the same thing, but now the turbo timer had switched off. When I opened the door the alarm sounded! Which is what i would expect.

I had the alarm installed by an alarm/audio place in Melbourne that was recommended to me by Chris.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Dan :D

Sounds like the door locking solenoid motor is playing up. Pull off the door trim and see if the motor is engaging all the time when you arm the car.

If not, or it does it intermittently, it takes about 5 minutes to replace it with a new one. Had similar issues in my car and once I replaced it no problems.

Would this also be the likely cause of my alarm not triggering when the door is opened? I was aware that the door locking mechanism is playing up, but I want to also get to the bottom of the issue that was causing the alarm not to trigger when it was armed.

Replacing the central lock motor/solenoid will cure the door issue. However, you may want to check that is just isn't a loose connection or fouling of the mechanism.

Also I was under the impression that although you have "locked & alarmed" the car, there is a delay which stops the immoboliser and siren function until the turbo timer has completed the count down. If the alarm siren was to arm the moment you locked the doors then technically the alarm would sound because your motor is still running and the sensors would be triggered.

My M80 beeps as I lock it and then about 10 secs after the turbo timer has turned off which is the immoboliser and siren arming.

Hey, yea my m80 doesn't arm untill the turbo timer is finished its countdown. and as msnismo said, it waits about 10 seconds after the countdown has finished before it arms iself with the siren.

This is normal, or so im led to believe.

R32 GTR PWR: i have the exaact same problem that you stated, but it was both of my doors. i thought at first it had something to do with the locking mecahnism. so i sprayed wd40 on it, it started working again perfectly then started again. so every 2 weeks or so i jus do the same thing..

it was asif the lock only half locks and doesnt go all the way.

Thanks for the help guys, the only thing that I guess I am still unsure of is this:

On Saturday I was getting the alarm looked at where I got it installed (just putting in a door switch that was buggered). I mentioned this problem to the guy. So we put the car on the turbo timer, armed the alarm then opened the door. Bingo - alarm went off, engine cut etc etc.

Can anyone confirm what the operation should be (Chris Rogers, where are you? :P )

Cheers,

Dan :D

My M80 was supplied n fitted by Chris Rogers. How it works:

When I park, I remove the keys, turbo timer starts to countdown, motor still running..shut the door, press the arm button, it locks all doors while the TT is timing down...as soon as the car shuts down...after about 10secs...another chirp signifies the car is now armed. That, I believe is how it should work...

Send Chris a PM, he should be able to tell u wats wrong.

I'm listening.

when you are arming it are you HOLDING the button or just pressing it. if you press it the car will lock but not arm until the timer drops out. (try this.)

R33- bite me.

You must press and hold the remote if it is in turbo run on mode the siren should chirp all sectors should be armed except for movement sensors they arm 10 secs after engine switches off. If you just press it once then only the doors will lock and the the chirp you here 10sec later is the immobiliser kicking in not the alarm.

    • I thought DW was one of those things that people thought was the bomb ~10 years ago and since learnt not to use their stuff? Because it's not any better than a bunch of other options, and definitely worse than a number of other options.
    • There will be wiring, preferably crimping. The whole "skyline specific fuel pump" marketing that DW uses is a lie. It's just an ordinary fuel pump with all the ordinary bits that come with it. You still need to do all the wiring that you would have had to do otherwise if you bought something like a generic Walbro 525 pump.  Other things to consider (based on my horrible experience using DW pumps) * How is the fuel pump sock attached? On my old DW pump there was no locking mechanism, it was an interference fit and after a couple of years of driving, the sock came off. I now have a random fuel sock floating around in my tank =/ * Does the fuel pump have an internal check valve? My old DW pump didn't. Not having one is a pain. Just another thing to buy and faff about installing into your fuel line. I wish it was stated on the product box/online description 'no check valve'. The product description gave no indication if it had or didn't have one. I wouldn't have bought it had I known it didn't have an internal check valve.  * Consider the depth the factory fuel pump sock reaches in the tank. If you install the DW pump in the stock location and use the baby sized sock supplied, you will find yourself running out of fuel with like 15 litres of fuel still in the tank. + * Do you have any plans to use e85 in the future? Now is the time to install submergible e85 fuel lines in the tank.  
    • I have ad blockers and automation breakers (like NoScript) installed on all my browsers on all my devices. I have a PiHole at home and use other forms of DNS blocking to prevent the advertisers, and more importantly, the trackers from google, meta and all those other kunnts from watching what I do. They learn NOTHING! Or at least, as close to nothing as I can make it. I don't care if google knows that I'm searching for things. But they can get f**ked tracking my every move. Plus, when surfing donkey porn, the automation breakers help to prevent driveby trojan installers.
    • New DW300 Fuel pump, new fuel tank lid, new plastic lock all on the way!!! I'll be on ramen noodles for a week but at least my car will have a fresh fuel pump in over 20 years! Thank you everyone for your input ❤️
