Hi, at Unique Autosports day i was told to cut the wire that does the auto lock of the doors as people who are stealing the car flick the lock switch and unlock the door.

anyway my friend has taken the door switch part off my door however we cant work out which wire to cut :) and i dont want to cut the wrong one :D

what colour is the wire that i cut?

Thanks!

G'day dude,

Yepp, it's strongly advised to do this.

I did mine and from memory it's a brown wire that you cut. Or a wire with a brown stripe on it.

Cut it so you have enough left so you can join it back up. So if you do cut the wrong one you can still join it up again.

When you've cut the right wire, the button will still lock the doors, but won't unlock the doors.

Cheers

wait....i'm confused:confused:....so how'd you get out of the car? :confused:

:confused:you mean the switches on the inside?:confused: how'd those thieves flick it from the outside? :confused:

Aero - there is a switch on the drivers door that you press and it will lock/unlock the passengers side door.

I'm not talking about the the drivers door lock, I'm talking about the other one that is there.

If you cut the wire to the button, you can still just unlock the doors manually etc.

Cutting the wire does not affect the central locking in anyway.

you can put an unbent coat hanger through the gap where the glass touches the roof and flick the switch, then u can get in the door without breaking the glass, and maybe w/o setting off the alarm. but hopefully it should go off as soon as someone inside the car moves.

Is that switch on the right hand side meant to lock both doors?? Or just the passenger one, because my switch only locks the passenger door.

That feature in my car comes in handy simply because I drive the car a lot by myself. Whats the benefits in disconnecting the lock. I thought it was quite a good function.

And how can people trying to hyjack the car, unlock the door? I'm a bit confused here!

NismoGirl - with the wire cut you can still lock the door, but not unlock the door.

You can still unlock the pass' door by unlocking the drivers door and the central locking will then unlock the pass' door.

I personally would my car as hard as possible to get into, so I have cut the wire. Sure my alarm will go off as soon as they open the door, but I'd like to make it as hard as possible to get the door open in the first place !

For an explaination of what can be done have a look at a5h's post above.

Cheers

    • That's awesome, well done! Love all these older Datsun / Nissans so rare now
    • As I said, there's trade offs to jamming EVERYTHING in. Timing, resources etc, being the huge ones. Calling out the factory ECU has nothing to do with it, as it doesn't do any form of fancy boost control. It's all open loop boost control. You mention the Haltech Nexus, that's effectively two separate devices jammed into one box. What you quote about it, is proof for that. So now you've lost flexibility as a product too...   A product designed to do one thing really well, will always beat other products doing multiple things. Also, I wouldn't knock COTS stuff, you'd be surprised how many things are using it, that you're probably totally in love with As for the SpaceX comment that we're working directly with them, it's about the type of stuff we're doing. We're doing design work, and breaking world firsts. If you can't understand that I have real world hands on experience, including in very modern tech, and actually understand this stuff, then to avoid useless debates where you just won't accept fact and experience, from here on, it seems you'd be be happy I (and possibly anyone with knowledge really) not reply to your questions, or input, no matter how much help you could be given to help you, or let you learn. It seems you're happy reading your data sheets, factory service manuals, and only want people to reinforce your thoughts and points of view. 
    • I don't really understand because clearly it's possible. The factory ECU is running on like a 4 MHz 16-bit processor. Modern GDI ECUs have like 200 MHz superscalar cores with floating point units too. The Haltech Nexus has two 240 MHz CPU cores. The Elite 2500 is a single 80 MHz core. Surely 20x the compute means adding some PID boost control logic isn't that complicated. I'm not saying clock speed is everything, but the requirements to add boost control to a port injection 6 cylinder ECU are really not that difficult. More I/O, more interrupt handlers, more working memory, etc isn't that crazy to figure out. SpaceX if anything shows just how far you can get arguably doing things the "wrong" way, ie x86 COTS running C++ on Linux. That is about as far away from the "correct" architecture as it gets for a real time system, but it works anyways. 
    • Holy hell! That is absolutely stunning! Great work!!!
    • It does when you start adding everything else in. But it's not just compute. It's the logic. Getting your timing right (I'm not meaning ignition timing for the engine). Making sure of your memory mappings, seeing your interrupts. Microcontroller devices only have so much capacity. For the most part, you want all those timers and interrupts in use on your engine control, which means you're left with less than ideal methods for timing and management of other control functions.   Let's put it this way, my job is all about building custom hardware, that goes into cars, and integrates with them. We're also waiting on a media confirmation from SpaceX too fora world first we've just completed with them in NZ too. It's not just the little toys I play with. But you know, you can think and believe what you want.
