Hi Mate, auto starts are suppose to be ilegal or some shit, but i have one, it only works from the button.

My allarm need the car to be in Neutral and hand brake on before it activates. When activated, if the key is not inserted in 15 seconds, or the brake or clutch or gear pressed/selected, without the cey the car shuts off, goes into alarm mode and won't let you start it unitll you desable the impboliser.

It is great for freaking people out. My also has the output to turn a heater on but the R33's don't have a secondary heater input.

The alarm allows up to 8 minuts of preheat time, but i haven't changed this yet.

ALSO if the car is started ad droven away by somone, if they are within range, the alarm will switch the motor off from the key aswell.

It's more wenk factor, but essentially it was there so we made it all work.

Not sure what brand mine is, and i do agree it is ilegal and if stuffed up, propably bad too, like starting in gear and so forth.

I'm not sure about the easie to get arround part. My alarm has 3 points of imobolisation and 3 poits of auto start, esentially making it 6 poits, as eaven without autostart, all the correct points need to be deactivated to start the car.

paolo,

on auto cars I'm not biased - I WATCHED a MANUAL VEHICLE start and PIN a 5 y/o girl TO A WALL - I have a REASON for stating what I do. I was not responsible for the work on that car but I knew FULL well how it happened. it had a makeshift neutral safety switch that failed - car was IN GEAR and it started.

they are good for warming up or cooling cars off on seasonal times but not much else. I see it as a 'look at me ' thing.

on my mates car he hit the remote start button, car kept on cranking but wouldn't start, we walked over to see what was going on and BANG? it backfired from all the fuel, back out the intake and blew the side out of his custom plenum.

i've also heard of them doing damage to starter motors.

the car cant move when its activated in gear..

it will just stall? Chris?

Hey...........

The only car that will not move is an automatic or a car with a neutral detect switch.

Every other car will start and move or atleast jump then stall

Dont kid yourself..

further proves your 1 track minded views on everything in a negative fashion. list some pros.

1 track mind?

I thought he just specified it can be DEADLY if not wired in correctly or if there is a malfunction. What pros are you looking for when the damn thing is a potential death trap?

And how do you people think a remote start actually starts the car? Well let a professional explain it to you.

In order to crank and start a vehicle you need to have 12V across the ignition wire, and 12v for a short period around 1-3 seconds on the starter wire. Once you have these two, the starter will turn the engine over, and the ignition will ignite the fuel. CAR STARTS.

Now what makes you think that your car is now not easy to steal? Where do you pick up your ignition and starter points? AFTER YOUR IMMOBILISER, otherwise its not going to work. So you have just given a thief an easy way to HOTWIRE YOUR CAR just by looking at your aftermarket wiring. Your immobiliser and your remotes are now useless. All someone has to do is crank the car start and drive off. Your remote which claims a KM distance has actually just been diminished to 200 metres due to buildings and trees and what not because it work on an FM band.

Dont kid yourself there is no PRO'S to a remote start alarm.

      R34 gtt rb25det neo timing belt kit

      By drifter17a · Posted

      So now doing the change and first time dealing with rb so little nervous giving engine power and potential for screwing it up When you align all marks and then remove crank bolt, timing move little I assume you can put the bolt back in once you have removed the pully to get timing to where you want?   here is pic of my both intake and exchust cam aligned, depending on angle you look they seem to be either aligned or a half tooth or so out. Any thoughts? Should you angle your face and look at each mark that way as if looking straight rather than from above as it can be misleading   <a href="https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/HfWrGR9b/IMG-4447.jpg" alt="IMG-4447" border="0"></a> <a href="https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/JWBqWwr1/IMG-4445.jpg" alt="IMG-4445" border="0"></a>   https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so no 4cyl clutch... Yeah it is a factory manual. So if iam correct i need clutch and flywheel too? I can use something that suits something like R32 GTST?   EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224291042776 Is this ok?   EDIT2: i maybe forget to mention this(dk how important it is) but the trans will be behind RB25DET NEO(iam doing swap) It will be there for a little while. Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..

      You're probably right about that one. Thanks for your suggestions, I hope I don't need a new 3rd brake light. Although wiring issues might arguably be worse. Right now I'm in the midst of a turbo removal because of my oil leak, other problems are going to have to wait for now.
