So I got a Mongoose M60 installed today along with an automatic "windows up" feature.

It remote controls are quite possible the most frustrating pieces of shit I have ever purchased. Basically I have to stand within 2 metres of the car to get the bastard to arm/disarm. Gone are the days when I could walk up to my car and press the central locking button (standard skyline one) from 5 metres away and get the car to unlock/lock.

Is this a common problem, or maybe an install issue?

Should I take it back, or is there something I can do to make the remotes work at a longer distance/more reliably?

Thanks guys.

if they are the new square ones I cannot help. range was usually a install issue on them when I sold them. add a LONG bit of wire to the antenna and route it across the front screen. that will help greatly.

So I took the car back today. They tried extending the antennae but to no avail. It turned out the module was faulty, so they replaced it, and hey presto, she works like a charm. Rang is no longer an issue and I am a very happy man.

I now *heart* my mongoose.

      Son, in this country, that is a piece of Gyprock. f**king drywall. FFS! I also like the autocorrect of trailer to tablet. I was reading it and thing, "what the hell drugs is he on?" Then the photo made it clear enough.

      So whats the deal with the porous block VR30DDTT

      SO whats the deal with this issue? I've read a heap of posts from the infinity owners in the US having full engine swaps done under warranty. Most claims are done on earlier cars than 2019 but I'm sure I've come across claims of 2020 models also having this issue. I like the 400r and Q50Red/S but can't fathom dumping close to 50k on a car with terminal issues!!!

      The above video is working normally. That is, that's how the right hand indicator should cancel when rotating the wheel left.

      I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.
