hey all,

in a little bit of a pickle at the moment,

on tuesday i installed my new stereo in my 33, all was going well, got everything working fine, turned the alarm back on and pressed the unlock button on my key and it beeped at me 8 times in a row, which is weird cause its never done that after ive disconnected and reconnected the battery, thought nothing of it, went to start the car, now this is where im lost, the motor turns over perfectly, fuel pump is pumping fuel but the thing just wont fire. i dont know if ive tripped the alarm or something, i just dont understand why it wont start as the only thing i changed was the stereo.

if anyone has a similar experience or can shed some light on my situation please do, i think ive maybe tripped the immobiliser somehow which is stopping the thing from starting, last night i disconnected the battery, turned the ignition to start and pumped the throttle a few times hoping that it will reset the comp. ill try starting it again tonight but if that doesn't work ill be calling an auto eleky, but hopefully someone here can help me out

cheers

mitch

PS: mods if you think this should be somewhere else please move it but i thought it relates to stereo and alarms

lol, whoops, i knew it was one of the two

cant remember the alarm type, think its fast track or something like that, ill have a look when i get home tonight, i figured it wasn't getting any spark as everything else is working properly, is there an easy way to fix it? or do i need to take it to a pro?

hey all,

got it sorted, ended up being a couple of blown fuses, dont know why i didn't check them in the first place. so its all fixed to take up tot he exhaust shop yay

now ive got another problem, Dead Battery lol, doesn't seem to want to hold charge now so looks like ill be forking out for a new one.

more good news, this stereo sounds awsome, so loud and clear.

thanx for your help

    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
    • The only high-power RB I've personally seen go pop after running for all of an hour on a dyno was built by B2R, while being remotely tuned by B2R. The only wastegates I've ever had leak like a sieve, return, still leak, return and get shipped back the wrong ones were from Turbosmart. The only final drive that I've ever purchased that were unusable, twice... were from Speedtek. The only seat mounts that I've ever purchased that placed the seats in the door frame were from Crank Motorsport. The only poorly designed parts that I had the manufacturer confirm should have been designed as per what I mentioned were from GKTech. The only ECU I've had firmware updates consistently break things are Haltech. The only catch can I've purchased that didn't fit in its advertised spot was from ATP. So forth and so on... Moral of the story, doesn't matter where it's from. Do your research beforehand and stick with products and companies you've trusted in the past.    @joshuaho96 If you want it done right, do it yourself.
    • Something coarse-ish. 180 is good.
    • I was surprised to see all the quick Jack models at the same prices on there. But yeah, grabbing one at 20% off would be great.
