I hope someone might be able to give me some ideas on what to check.

I disconnected the battery to wire in a 12v and Gnd for an elec boost controller on my R33 GTS-T. Once i finished i connected it back up and the alarm went off thats fine. But i tried to use the remote to unlock it and turn off the alarm no go. I turned off the sound manually then tried to start the car no go. So i figured ok the car is immobolised.

Called the ppl up that put in the secuirity and they told me a way to by pass the immoboliser so i did that, still no go. He said to check all the fuses and i have checked all the ones i know about. Couple in the boot engine bay and drivers footwell.

All the normal electrics are on like headlights and dash but the windows and audio which didnt work untill it was unlocked are not however working. The LED for the Alarm is also not flashing at all, which isnt right cos it would flash when it was unlocked or locked before. when i put in the key and turn it over i cant hear any noise.

Is there anything else i can check? Hidden fuses, relays i need to check?

I know it does still sound like it could be the immobiliser but he assured me that if i shorted the correct wires behind the ignition back to there original places it would bypass the alarm and allow it to start. And the answer would be no to getting someone out to look at it at this stage :S

So you have removed the alarm unit?

Yeah the guy that installed it gave me a way to bypass it so i guess that cant be it.

Try checking all fuses with a test light, some fuses look fine but are blown.Immobilisers generally have fuses close by the unit, follow all wiring related to it and check fuses.

Thanks for the suggestions

There are a few fuses near the alarm i have checked them and all the ones in the driver kick panel, engine bay and in the boot.

There also seems to be no electricity getting to the dash status lights or the security system :S what else could cause this?

    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
