Luckiest Day Of My Life!!!! Thank You God!

It's not rocket science, get in your car, stick it in first and crank it over (handbrake off, feet off the pedals) The car will lurch forward and start and travel forward at idle speed. BTW an auto will not start in gear, they have a neutral (or park) safety switch standard.

i am confused why dosent the car just stale when in gear and you activate the remote start? wouldnt it be the same as you sitting in the car put it in first without the clutch engadged? i think so???? someone explain the "non rocket science to me"

[akeenan]

or you pull up at the lights and take your foot of the clutch, its the same thing it stales....help me out here a little

TRY IT. 1 Get in your car

2 Put it in first

3 Start the engine -DONT TOUCH THE PEDALS.

Your car will start and idle while moving forward in first.So dont do this in your garage! (OR parked right behind another car etc. etc......) This is how I got home without a clutch a couple of times.

My old R32 GTS4 would drive by itself in 1st gear, if you put it is 1st and release the clutch it would drive.

Alot of alarm installers over here in NZ wont install remote start in a manual car.

oh ok mine does it in reverse also however you have to play with the clutch to kepp it at certian rpms..... im still a little thingy on the topic but thats fine.

I realise you guys are recommending that you shouldnt leave your car in gear in order to use a remote start correctly, but bear in mind handbrake failures can happen. And if the car isnt in gear and you happen to have a slightly sloped driveway, say goodbye to the car.

I ALWAYS leave my car in gear, even when its parked on my flat driveway. Force of habit i suppose since i used to have a hill to park on every night.

And dont say it'll never happen, because my mums car did it, rolled down the hill and smashed into a tree on the other side of the road about 1m from going through someones bedroom.

i went to jb hi fi to tell them to take off the remote start

and they said they couldnt coz thats how the alarm worked blah blah blah i just think they bullshitin =)

iam also not happy with my remote as the buttons stick out and the car can be triggered 100 m away.

i did my self a favour this morning and cut off the remote start button off the remote control hahah =0

iam planning on taking out the entire alarm and putting in a brant as i was planning onto stupid ricer who sold me the car had to put that stupid alarm

i dont trust the guys at jb to take it out so i wanted to know if any one reconmened some one to take out the whole alarm and all the looms etc =)

Thanks for your help guys

thank god the car ok

running very nice very happy

ohh i also got a wheel alinment today and its spot on cheeers =0

[doxximus]

i always leave my work truck in gear when i stop it coz the handbreak doesnt work

but then again the gearbox is ****ed so on very slanty hills it just jumps in and out of gear down the hill very slowly hahaha

[rb26dett]

i'm still lost. i tried it but the car just jumped really hard in front and stalled...

[akeenan]

 i'm still lost. i tried it but the car just jumped really hard in front and stalled

exactly! in my car you can only do it if you push the clutch in and out a little. but he did say his car was idling high? how high i dont know.

[Secoh]

akeenan and RB26, are you trying it with the car already running? bzzt.....

with the motor OFF put it in 1st gear, hand brake off, feet off the pedals. NOW crank the car over with the key, you will find the starter motor has enough torque to move the car along, and once the motor fires, the car has enough momentum to let the motor run and kick itself along.

hell, if my old sigmas and galants could do it, it'd be a piece of cake for a modern car to do it.

Remote starts are the dumbest inventon ever, with the exception of snow countries. The idea is that when the car is covered in a half foot of snow, you can remote start it and let it warm up while your still nice and warm in your house.

kinda a waste of effort in Oz.

/amusing

[Eek Skywalker]

Where do you get these remote starters from? I know it's not hard to turn a key, but if I can start the car and let it warm up while i'm having breakfast, all the better!

Cheers,

Eek

[Secoh]

so much easier for people to steal it from you too~! what a nice guy, helping thieves out like that

[BigAl]

Why not do what the Arabs do- leave the car running till next time you need it. Keeps it warm in winter and cool in summer

[funkymonkey]

your arabs are wierd.

personally i don't feel like i've finished parking the car unless its in gear... i dunno one of them oldschool driving things that's been drilled in2 my mind i guess. I tried the startign the car in first gear and you're right, it does keep chuggin along... lol and if my GTS can do it i'm sure all u turbo mofo's can too.

As for remote start... hehehe u dun need one in an N/A... jus turn the key and pump the pedal I'm a big fan of them alarms with the handbrake warning etc. and the auto windows n all, but remote start, and remote windows and remote accessory control is all jus a gimmick.
