Alarm Gone Nuts?

Hey lads and lassies.

Just a quickie: I'm wanting to know ppl's opinions for what i should do. I think my alarm has gone insane, but i can't be totally sure that it's not a wiring related issue instead. Basically, the alarm (according to manual is a Brant Ultima series - either AA02E, AA04V10 or aa06V10) is doing some funny things. The first thing that i noticed is that of late, most of the time when i start the car, the black box starts making a clicking sound (sounds like a relay clicking), which will keep clicking continuously (about 5 times a sec?) for 5-40 seconds (yeah, doesn't sound great to start with). That's pretty weird, but a couple of times it's done something rather unsafe, which is when i'm driving, it will engage the alarm, cut my power and immobilise the engine! Yep, scared the pants off me the first time! I actually thought i had been driving whilst on the turbo timer the first time, but after it happened again twice, I realised it was the stupid alarm's fault!

Aside from this, the external siren had stopped making noise numerous months ago as well, but i tended not to think much of it, as everything else was ok.

Now, my question is this: Firstly, would anyone happen to know what might be causing this? My initial thought was the alarm has just gone bung, but then i thought maybe there's just some funny wiring issues that is triggering the alarm (but i don't know how it could trigger when the car is running though...).

My thoughts for resolution are one of the following: Take car to auto-sparky to diagnose, then replace what's needed, or just go buy a new alarm, then get auto-sparky to rip out the old gear and hook the new one up, presuming that this is the cause.

So do i go to auto-sparky first? Or get alarm and just replace it? (or option c, if anyone has any suggestions for something else I could check??).

Oh yeah, '93 R33 gtst. all pretty stock...

Any help or suggestions would be mightily appreciated.... i'd love to be able to drive around and not have to wonder if my alarm is about to make me into a specticle!

cheers!

If your immobiliser is engaging whilst your car is running it might be the ignition sense wire.. I would suggest going to a car audio place and getting an installer to look at it. Has it just recently been installed or..?

I had a similar problem with my old prelude. Laserline alarm, and you would be driving along and the engine would cut out and I would lose all electrics, indicators and all. Turned out to be a burnt out part on the main alarm board triggering the imobiliser.

      There are adaptors that allow you to delete the booster and use an s15 clutch master cylinder.    if you want to keep the booster they are still available brand new

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I visited again today: It would appear they have painted the main body of the car and some parts of some of the panels, so I can say that I now have BMW parts in my car, much to the envy of @Dose Pipe Sutututu It is still covered in dust which is quite the tease but I did look at a few circumspect spots that will be behind bumpers and such and wiped some dust away: After my repeated begging to PLEASE DONT PAINT OVER THE ENGINEERING CERTIFICATE (you have to re-engineer the entire car if they do) I see THIS: Which is great. Excellent job tbh at least to me. A better non dusty example would be the backs of the doors that have been painted: Giving a reasonable contrast between old and new (I know the old isn't clear coated on the inside of doors). The door card will well and truly cover where the old paint is, you can see in the second pic some of the black butyl/whatever shit is sticking the plastic sheet behind the door transfer that has happened since it's clearly been stuck back on. The most maddening thing about this colour is every time I saw it in the wild it looks like another colour, same with photos of many cars with the same colour looking wildly different in every photo anybody ever takes and this is no exception. But stand a little further back and it suddenly looks dark AF. I did tell them when I was discussing which of the 70 million charcoal colours to choose from (a porsche one, a BMW one, or a R32 GTR one etc) that if they just ignored me and chose one at random I would probably never notice. Maybe they did. But the colour is supposed to be B39 (BMW Mineral Gray). Boring I know, but the R34 sedan (to me) really shows off it's boat-ness when you paint it in a bright colour like bayside blue or white or whatever else. I do have a fondness for AR2 Nissan Red, but decided against that because it'll have pretty odd contrast to random bits unpainted (like engine bay, bits of trim etc, and maybe it'll fade). And people will always fkin comment on AR2. Everything remains super dusty. I have tracking numbers for the new heads, as well as some Improved Racing goodies, but they probably will be a next year thing by the time they end up on the car. I did some maths on the heads and I know why nobody goes to this extent in Australia, because it's really not worth it, given I could have just CNC'ed my current heads, bought a FAST102/TB and used my current rocker/spring/cam combination and get a 383 stroker (or stroked a 6.0 GenIV bottom end to 6.6L) built for the same price of just the setup in the mail/on the floor here. Or I could have bought a LS3 and a Drysump system. And then have a complete engine to sell. Oh well

      We just disconnected the vacuum line if I remember correctly, booster is still there. Is there a rebuild solution for the booster or a different adapter that will work for GTR chassis?

      Yeah 4wd (boosted) has a recess in the firewall for the booster, and 2wd is flat - the example in the link shows the flat surface. When you deleted the booster, did you just attach the factory slave cylinder directly to the recess in the firewall with no adaption?
