Help! Need Melb Auto Elec To Replace Jap Alarm!

[slknv]

Hi guys,

Just picked up an R33 GTR yesterday and was told by the compliance workshop they had to chop out the japanese alarm as it was causing them all kinds of problems while compliancing my car - unfortunately I think it's the source of the problems I'm having with the car now! I could drive it home very slowly, the car hesistated a lot at 2.5-3000rpm and there was a lot of electrical problems, lights fading every 20-30 seconds on the way home . Was given an alarm siren they removed from the car.

Anyway, now the car's sitting in my driveway and it won't start (tried jump starting from another car etc), just doesn't tick over. I was also given the Japanese alarm keyfob (called "Force 1000" or something) which I put a new AAA battery in, and pushing the button seems to activate central locking and another alarm siren which is hidden in the car somewhere!

So anyway, I've got the feeling the old immobiliser is still wired into the fuel pump/starter motor, as when I'm trying to jumpstart, the car just doesn't start at all. I also suspect the alarm was trying to do something while driving the car home, that's why I had so many problems.

I need a mobile auto electrician (or ideally a mobile alarm installer) in Melbourne (eastern suburbs, Mitcham) who can totally remove the the old Japanese system and install an Australian approved 2-3 point immobiliser so my insurance company is happy! If anyone has any recommendations at all please PM me or post in the forum, as I want this car driveable and registered asap!

Thanks guys

SAU Vic members get access to someone who does discount alarm installs, but it sounds like they may have done some damage there....

Check to see if your getting fuel pressure at the motor and/or spark and work backwards from there. Alternatively start from the battery and trace back any aftermarket wiring and remove it. Re-attach like wires. If the wires are all black, see if they have numbers on them and remove those too.

Alarms and immobilisers are pretty easy to install, they all come with instructions these days. The skill is generally in hiding away all the wiring anyways

Jaycar have cheap aust compliance immobilers&alarms also
