Norbert how much would it cost me to get you to install autowatch, with remote locking (or auto lock/unlock when alarm is armed/disarmed pretty much), the window module (to put windows up when armed... thats all) and i also want window break sensors, maybe knock sensor, and ultra sonics and tilt sensor ... id also like another feature installed but will discuss that at a later date if or when i decide to go ahead with everything.

Could you please Private Message me with details on prices of how much each individual thing would be to install, and what it would cost to install the lot.

This is a serious quote as i am interested in getting an alarm system installed into my car. (Nissan R33 Skyline of course).

so what if remote start is illegal, same way turbotimers are illegal, anyway remote start works on manuals as well, just drop in to car stereo city in osb pk and kevin will do it 4 u, full install cost about $700 from what i recall, but thats 4 the full alarm

i have a 2 button but at the moment one of the buttons does nothing...

so the right button will: put windows up, lock doors and arm alarm

and left button will start engine hopefully only after i have unarmed alarm if possible...

we gotta find someone that is willing to do it... :cheers: purhaps i may learn and then do it on the side :cheers:

uneekwahn,

goto www.rojone.com.au they have a mobile phone tracking system! It even gives you map coordinates/suburb where the car is, and how fast it's travelling over a mobile! ot cheap tho' (around 2k)

fane,

You can hookup auto-start on a manual, I did it with mine! The second button on the remote activates a relay that can start the car, once the car is started, the turbo timer takes over and runs for a few mins... then shuts off obviously...

This is the same relay that can open a boot release if you have one (I Don't) I didn't see the point in having it anymore so I disconnected it :cheers:

Don't see why you can't do the same thing with the windows with a small timer circuit that holds the window-up buttons on for around 10sec ? Nothing's impossible.

any updates i'll post here... :)

anyone know how i can find out the model of my autowatch alarm? anywhere i can look...?

they are pretty good alarms and i cant find the actual control unit without spending more than 20mins...its up behind the dash somewhere i think...

See me at 135 Hector Street (West) we got most of the remotes in stock and will find the right one for you. Bring the 5 digit PIN with you as it is needed to program new remotes.

So How's the idea?  

Guys how much is it to upgrade from 2 buttons blue series Autowatch to 4 buttons one? :)

I guess you do realise that the change to the 4 button remote may require a change of system as well, don't you? As the extra 2 buttons need some electronic in the system to work with them.

So the question remains what system you actually have in the car right now.

maxaction, what if you dont have the 5 digit code? i didnt come with the car when i bought it...

We then need it in the workshop to be able to recover the PIN. The PIN is important for a number of things like programming new remotes etc, but it is also handy to have if or when you don't have the use of any remote control, as with the use of the PIN you can still go home :D

hey guys, I have an autowatch alarm with the two button remote and having some problems with the alarm being set off, like when i open a door with the key when the alarm is armed it doesn't set it off but only one door does this, also if the bonnet is pooped while armed the alarm isnt set off as well. has anyone else had this problem? also is there a way to test the glass breaker sensor is working (other than throwing a brick through the window)

thanks, ash

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
