Hi, I bought my 1997 r33 gts-25t about a week ago and it didn't have an alarm. After going around to various places to get quotes for one, when I was cleaning my car the other day I noticed a strange box underneath the dash. After googling the 4 letters that were actually in english on it I found out that it's an alarm system, however I didn't get the remote with it. I was just wondering if it's usual for importers not to give you the remote? Also is it possible for an alarm shop to install another brand remote to work with this system?

Thanks

Matt

usally the dealer wont even see the remote to the alarm, they will just get a key to the car and thats it, wethere its from the remote being lost on transport or just not being sold with the car, as for another brand remote programed to it, it all depends on the alarm its self, maybe you should post up what letters you found on the alarm and anything else you know about the alarm system, i know chris rogers knows alot about different brands of alarms and remotes, as for me im know knowegable on alarm remotes and what alarms they will work with, just how to knstall them. one of you better options in the end might just be to have a professional install a new alarm and remove the old one.

could well be the dealer fitted nissan/alpine thing I remove. is there a security light on the dash that is marked 'seciruty'?

easier to rip the lot and put a proper one in. (properly!)

Thanks for the replies, I was thinking that getting a new one installed would be the best way, just thought that I might be able to save some money by just getting a remote coded to it. The current alarm is http://blog.livedoor.jp/joy_carlife/archives/64868838.html. I just used googled translator to translate it. Does anyone know approximately how much it would cost to get a mongoose M80 installed?

    • I hope one day I can do it like you. Your engine looks great.
    • If there's nothing else I can do I'll probably do something like that Someone on the internet said that ca20s and ca18 engine blocks are the same and that you can use a ca20 engine block and put ca18det parts to make a ca20det Do you think this is possible or will it damage the engine?
    • Yeah, I did some research and found out that some things are different.
    • Makes sense, thanks! Consider me very impressed. And I very much appreciate the effort in documentating all of it. You'd be surprised, or maybe not, how many people this reaches who search for things online. Anyways, I shall continue to read all of it, understand maybe a quarter, and hope that some of it sticks if I ever end up in a situation where it's relevant
    • 'Did' work on them is more accurate ~ on the R31 Skyline forum, you can spot me as 'Solder'... I've written quite a bit about the 4R01 boxes there, and I ended up reverse-engineering the older TCU type operations, so we could fudge a custom TCU to pull off other tricks...and like all things, when you do it a lot, see the failure patterns, have to find parts etc etc, your head ends up filled with whys and wherefores... there was a reason Nissan went with these in more than 60models over 16+ years... all in all, the JR401E based design is an interesting study, as Nissan changed things over the years in a never ending battle against them lunching on themselves <grin>...by the time the RE4R01A rev.C came out (often referred to as RE4R01B), they'd more or less perfected the design...
