Went to Autobarn today again because i didn't manage to remote start when the engine is cold. The whole idea of remote start is to warm up the engine. But autobarn can't fix it. So it's a bit useless for me to get remote start oledi. Spent so much for nothing......

At the same time, i also bought a boost controller and a blow-off valve. Anyway is blow off valve illegal? i think i prefer the factory made valve than the one i bought in autobarn. And there tune my boost to 1 bar.. will that cause any damage to my engine? IT's really a fast car now... Yippy~~~

Unless you have an aftermarket Turbo + FMIC i'd be turning that down. From my memory 1 bar = ~14.5psi which for a stock R33 Turbo is way too high. Try setting it to about 10psi and 12psi if u have a cooler and not too hot a day.

BOV is illegal in Vic if u do not plumb it back.

U should be able to get the remote start to work even on a cold day. Take it to another alarm installer.

For me, turbo timer setting at 1 min all the time and set the rest of the time to auto depending on how much u r boosting it

As Benm says, run it on 10psi for stock turb and it should be sweet.

Good luck with your skyline :)

Think about it this way. If anyone really wants your car, they'll tow it. But get a reality check. Your car is not a porsche, it's just a 20000 skyline. Most likely, they wouldn't bother with a towtruck.

I do a fair bit of work installing alarms, and i'll tell you that no matter how you install the alarm, it's still fairly easy to remove the alarm. Think about it this way, how do you install it? you cut wires, and join in the alarm. What will stop someone from removing the alarm unit, and rejoining the original wires (join wires of the same colour) ? Shouldn't take long at all. 4-5 hours to install a good alarm, 10 minutes to "uninstall" it. Alarms are more of a deterent for kids, or inexperienced people who think "oh, i'll just break into that and hotwire it and get a skyline!"

True, i got an alarm fitted in my car the other day (wont go into details) and while it's not a bad system i didn't go for the best on the market, there just seemed no need.

There are some simple ideas that might make your car less attractive for thieves, such as garaging it at home, and parking next to more expensive looking cars in shopping centres :P lol

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
