Before I call Action Alarms is there anyone recommended and cheap to a get an immobiliser installed in my '79 MKII Escort?

Also what does a basic basic basic immobiliser cost to get installed?

cheers

Roughly about slightly $120 bucks would cost you for the thing supplied and fitted. The remote kind, if i'm not wrong. Alvin in willetton would prolly do you for that price i'd think.

Why would you need an immobiliser in the Escort? I rekon if you left it in the middle of the city, with the window down, keys in the igniton and engine idling it would be safe from theives :sleep:

Just kidding Tom. I assume this is your new bunky?I have not had an immobilser fitted in years, however i reckon dont go anything less than a push button. The press in type are pretty crap and annoying. We get customers cars all the time with the cheap type and they are soooo annoying.

Thats what a basic basic basic cheap one is though, just a 'key' you press into the dash.... Don't worry Brad the Escort won't be getting a Bilstein kit installed any time soon :sleep:

I ticked 'NO' on the transfer papers :P, so they sent me a letter saying I had to get one.... I would happily leave it without one if it weren't for my stupidity. Can I just say that I got one fitted?

Willeton is a bit far for me, probably keep it around Joondalup/Whitfords area if I have to get one...

Ive had several cars that i ticked YES to immobilsers fitted. IF they need a receipt, get one dodgeyed one up. It will only be an issue if it does get stolen and you want to claim insurance as they will say no to your claim.

I have a guy........ If you know what i mean.

So no bilstein kit at all???? How about Koni coilovers then? lol Sawybars, bushes, coils?????

I seriosuly reckon we can make it get a faster lap time around barbagallo :laughing-smiley-014:

Cool, I will dodge them then.

I wanna do SOMETHING with suspension but it will be shocks only because it has..... *cough*........ leaf springs! Rusted leaf springs :sleep: I can fit my index finger and thumb around the tyres as well :P

It only has a 1.6L KENT engine though, if I was gunna race it I would want an RS engine or a 2L PINTO.

Surely :dry:

escortfrontzw2.th.jpg escortrear2jb4.th.jpg escortengine2cm5.th.jpg escortexhaustyy8.th.jpg

2 old lady owners 98,000 on the clock (only problem with that is these old Escorts don't go over 100,000)

Licenced (for 2 weeks, but still, no pits check)

Stereo (tape deck and 2 rear 6"inchers)

Engine serviced as regularly as the old bettys memory could go back, oil filter looks very new as do the spark plugs

Compression & Oil rings done in the engine 2 years ago (BIG PLUS!)

y'know with basic sump mods you can slot a 4AGZE into these things? :)

seems in bloody good nick for its age though.

As a side not, immobilisers are only compulsory in cars less than 25 years old.

I found that out when I bought a Datsun Sunny that was 25 years and 2 months old.

Cool, and this thing is 28 years old :(

I used t own a 2DR with my dad a few years ago and that had the 2L PINTO motor, but was auto. We sold it to a guy that puts those toyota motors in them. I remember him saying he puts Supra gearboxes in them as well.

RB30!!

you would need a gear ratio of about 0.0000001 to get traction, but fun none-the-less. :(

Hold on! i own a mark 1 escort with sr20det. Runs 12's down the quarter and likes to spin the wheels at 100k plus.

As for suspension i have bilstein coilovers up front and koni adjsutable shocks all round, whitleine sway bar, short ratio steering rack. r33 calipers on 300mm cross drilled disks, Borg Warner LS

As for the imobiliser , why not install a cheapo battery cut off switch and tell em the job is done.

You should have ticked the YES box mate heh.. oh and RaceTune is like 100m from my house, they build some badass escorts and I constantly hear them tuning some really rude pieces of machinery :pwned:

But a bunky is a bunky.. about the most I'd do is weld the diff up for a bit of fun on the winter commutes :dry:

MKI for the win, you know you want to.... will be much lighter.

I have no speakers at work but this thing corners beautifully flat :D

Speakers would not have helped you....unless you speak german? lol

My mate is building an Escort at the moment. Mk2 with mexican wide body kit. Hopefully it will be ready for the track before christmas.

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
