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.

    • Meh, At 60 years old, I have been doing dumb stuff for much longer than you mate, I am the true King And unfortunately I cannot be a maroon, as I am not brownish red As for not getting ITB's, the plenum intake will apparently show typical gains across the board and increase induction noise a bit, but, have all over less dort than ITB's Cost difference for the extra ITB dorts was significant though, the total parts for the plenum set up is "around" $2kAUD plus shipping, the ITB's were $4kAUD plus shipping, I was contemplating really hard about paying the extra $2k for all of the dorts, but weirdly, some form of common sense, from listening to the platform experts prevailed  As for the NA mod hate by some, I've had a few boosted cars, with all their inherent issues, I'm now looking at simplicity and legalities for a street car, maybe I'm just getting old, and I'm quite happy to spend some of the kids inheritance, 5kw at a time 🤣 And think of all the money I'll be saving on consumables that something with boost needs, like engines, gearboxes, diffs, clutches,  tilt trays... etc. etc. etc. 🤪
    • Haha.  I wouldn't say I am either but I've definitely been around it plenty.  I'm guessing you know the dial in is basically to make a handicap to level the playing field between racers.  The car with the slower dial in goes first and in theory if they run their dial in time and the faster car also does then they cross the finish time if they also have exactly the same reaction time - if you go faster than the dial in them you lose, but if you are too slow there's a good chance the other person will get to the finish line first. I'm normally supporting other cars but they were all pretty dialled and were egging me on to race as well, here's one of the cars I tune (Starlet) which ran within like 1 hundredth of its dial in through the competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inEBu-d9Gn4&t=69s
    • Where ever the fuel reg gets it reference is what I use to T into for map reference been a very long time so where it goes to plenum/runners I have no idea but never had issues. 
    • What ecu? Same shop every time? Same ambient temperature? If timing is correct then pull plugs and see if lean or rich. Dyno can also read different if they have changed ramp rate or not set tacho/speed properly  
    • I've never done dial in's just straight up, whatever that's called. I'm far from a drag (racing ) expert.
