Putting out the feelers for any experienced or simply thorough and knowledgeable person(s) to help with an keyless entry install for a R33 GTS-T. I've tried doing it myself after being dicked around by JB Hi-Fi and ended up being stumped in the process. Hoping someone here knows someone etc.

Another vote for Chris here... his work is second to none and he won't rip you off. Just don't ask him if he can do anything tricky because you'll end up going back for all kinds of cool shit :P

Edit: ooh 6,666 posts :no:

Thanks Chris for the offer. After I made my initial post, I was down at Autobarn looking at some replacement rear speakers. Turns out they would install the actuator into my driver side door for only $40, so I booked it in pronto.

Got the car back, and have today been playing around with the wiring hookups. Blown a few fuses, but have managed to hook it all up now. The trickiest part was working out how to hook into the lights setup.

Do most people's cars flash the indicators when they arm and disarm the keyless entry? I've worked out how to hook those up, but also found a way for the dashboard, front small headlights and brake lights to flash as well.

Not sure what is the better hookup, as all going at once is a bit much lol.

Once all that's sorted, I'll look at installing a boot actuator as well.

After installing the system, putting meticulous effort into the wiring all being nice, I hook the system up and am thinking sweet, it's all working :). Well kind of. Turns out the idiot at Autobarn installed the actuator at an angle that is far from optimal. Playing around with the push bar that connects the actuator and where it attaches to the door lock mechanism, I cannot for the life of me get it so that the action is anything but violent. It seems to me the idiot drilled the holes into the door, then realised, there was something behind it that would interfere the movement. So instead of correcting it, he just flipped it over 180 degrees. Yes it "works" but I can't see it lasting. What an utter waste of time.

Anyway Chris, I think I need to come up your way, drop in and I bet it would take not even 5mins to correctly mount the actuator. All the wiring is in place now, so it's a case of more holes in my door ;) , but at least the movement being proper.
