Hey,

Anyone had experience with operation of Mongoose M80 central locking option? I took my car to the mechanics yesterday and i believe that they have pressed the keyring fob buttons in some sequence to disable the central locking function.

The immobiliser still works the same, and the central locking works (if i use the key on the drivers door it drives the passenger door) but the remote central locking function does not.

does anyone know the code?

It looks like the central locking is working (if i use the key on the drivers side, the passenger side opens up) but the alarm is not sending a signal to the central locking unit.

anyone have any idea how these things are set up and what i shuold look for?

the M80 has on board central locking relay, there will be an actuator in the drivers door that is controled by the m80.

firstly i'd take the drivers door trim off and you should see either a set of blue and green wires of 5 wire system connecting to the actuator that pushes your locking arm forward and back make sure they are connected properly sometimes the window can pick up cable and disconnect. if all good then id disconnect the blue and green and use a test light and individualy test each wire for pulse while pushing the arm and disarm buttons. if no light when you do then then i'll tell you what next to do.

very rare for mongoose m60 or m80 to fault so id say it's the actuator but you can check the 2 10amp fuses on the m80 module aswell. there are 6 fuses in total wont hurt to check all but the central locking fuses are seperate to the main loom.

most the cars that come in with central locking problems have actuator problems, so let me know how you go or call me if you r having problems

      Potential MAP Reference Point

      Isn't there a fitting on the back of the balance tube? That's what the OEM boost gauge uses.

      Potential MAP Reference Point

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Getting a decent signal from all 6 throats is a challenge. I don't know for sure, but I suspect that the stock balance tube is not ideal for it. I have done it on an ALFA 4 cylinder (about 35 years ago, so don't ask for too many details). We drilled 4x holes in the manifold runners, put in some fittings and ran hoses to a decent sized (I think it was about 20mm diameter) pipe that ran the length of the inlet manifold. So, it was quite a decent volume. There is a "tuning" balance to be found between the volume of the common plenum on such a thing and the diameter of the pipes running from it to the runners. You need the volume to be large enough to damp out the sharp spikes in pressure signal you get as each runner gets sucked on by its cylinder, but not so large that it becomes too slow to respond to actual changes in MAP. And you need the hoses to be small enough to transmit the signal quickly, but not so small that they delay the signal. You might have to have more than one go at it, if there isn't any actual success based wisdom to be had here. Hopefully there is. Anyway, I would not do it on only a couple of cylinders. I would also not care about "permanently modifying a part". Just bloody drill holes and make stuff better. There is nothing sacred about any GTR unless it is a genuine museum piece that you shouldn't be modifying at all anyway.

      R34 GTT front hood lip

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The strange thing is this is a URAS front bumper (or clone of it). The bumper actually does not sit flush with the GTT hood - You need the addon to make the hood 'long' enough to reach the bumper. I have no idea why they didn't incorporate this piece into the bumper itself.. instead of sticking it to the hood instead.

      Another thought on this OLD topic: When you paint your bonnet lip, leave a small unpainted back lip/line along the back of the lip, where it rests on the bumper. That way, the line in the back is much more prominent than the gaps in the front/under the lip - and it breaks the hood-to-bumper connection at the "correct" place, when comparing to a GTR. I'm gonna do this with mine this week, so stay tuned for pics!
