Hey all,

Today I tried to unlock my drivers door with my spare key to find that it wont open the door. I can unlock the boot and start the car with the key but it will not the door.

Funny thing is, my normal key (has OEM keyless entry) will open the door and start the car but will not open the boot.

Both keys look the same (in terms of cut) however my normal key is more worn.

Can anyone advise on why this might be and what I could do to get both keys to open all locks?

Also, I was talking to a mate about alarms today and he said not to put an "upgrade" alarm on my car as simply unlocking the doors (either by remote, by turnign the key or flickign the door switch) will disengage the alarm/immobilizer. Something to do with the solenoid sending out the pulse. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Note: I have the OEM keyless entry system

Thanks!

if you put an aftermarket alarm on then you will need to unlock the car with the remotes that come with it rather than the OEM ones, as most alarms also have an immobiliser and pressing the button disarms it as well as unlocking the car.

Thanks mate,

when i was talking about the "upgrade" alarm, from what ive seen there are some systems which use the OEM keyless entry to run the alarm/immobiliser. He was saying that you cant hook our cars up to these as simply unlocking the car in any way will disable the alarm.

Oh well, im just going to get a full alarm system...

Isn't that the point of unlocking the car.. No point unlocking the car and still have the alarm enabled.. Talk to a proper alarm shop specialist about your options and whether you can program your OEM button to be used as your alarm/unlock instead of the aftermarket one..

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      It still combines inches with mm, especially when you have .5 inches involved, and mm and inches that can go in either direction. This would give a clear idea on both sides of the rim, right away, with no arithmetic. Even better if somebody gives you the dimensions of the arch of multiple cars. i.e GTR may be 125mm, a A80 Supra may be 117mm, or something along those lines. Yes, you can 'know' that going from a 10in rim to a 10.5in rim with the same offset moves both sides about 6mm, but you still have to 'know' that and do the math. Often it's combined. People are going from 9.5 +27 to 10.5 +15. You may do the math to know it, but if it was going from (I had to go look it up to be sure) 241mm/2 - 27 - 93.5mm from the center line to (more math) 266/2 - 15 (118mm) from the center line. Versus 93mm vs 118mm. It's right there. If you know you have a GTT with 100mm guards you can see right away that one is close to flush and the other absolutely won't work. And when someone says "Oh the GTR is 120mm" suddenly you see that the 10.5 +15 is about perfect. (or you go and buy rims with approximately 118mm outward guard space) I think it's safe to say that given one of the most common questions in all modified cars is "How do offsets work" and "How do I know if wheels will fit on my car" that this would be much simpler... Of course, nothing will really change and nobody is going to remanufacture wheels and ditch inches and offset based on this conversation :p We'll all go "18x9+30 will line up pretty close to the guards for a R34 GTT (84mm)" but 'pretty close' is still not really defined (it is now!) and if you really care you still have go measure. Yes it depends on camber and height and dynamic movement, but so do all wheels no matter what you measure it for.

      But offsets are simple numbers. 8" wheel? Call it 200mm, near enough. +35 offset? OK, so that means the hub face is that far out from the wheel centreline. Which is 2s of mental arithmetic to get to 65mm to outer edge and 135mm to inner. It's hardly any more effort for any other wheel width or offset. As I said, I just close my eyes and can see a picture of the wheel when given the width and offset. That wouldn't help me trust that a marginal fitment would actually go in and clear everything, any more than the supposedly simple numbers you're talking about. I dunno. Maybe I just automatically do numbers.

      Sure! But you at least have simple numbers instead of 8.5 inches +/mm, relative to your current rims you do maths with as well, and/or compare with OEM diameter, which you also need to know/research/confirm..
