Hi all,

Have just been reading all the threads on immobilisers, lots of useful info there to be sure! But now I'm wondering if my '04 sedan has one - I presumed it did because I bought it from a dealer already complied, and had to have one for the compliance. If it does, it must be an upgrade as I only have the one single key, no extra fobs, which makes me somewhat worried. Next item on the list is to organise a second key I think!

Anyway, how to tell if I have an Aus immobiliser fitted? Any easy way other than poking all around in the engine bay? :ermm:

Cheers,

Richard

it's NOT there. someone worked out a way to fudge ADR 82/00 and yours has been done that way. it was later proven by dotars that this was in fact incorrect.

so in short - its not there and if you policy calls for one get it fitted. at the very least you should have a black tag hanging off the key. - no tag - its not on the car.

regarding the second key: do you have the metal tag with your original key? No? it a trip to nissan for you. they are the only ones that can look it up for you. NOW if you can find someone with a carmen scanner that will actually pull the code out fo the BCM and allow you to program a key to the car. whilst my scanner will program the keys (I have a launch diagun) I still need the immobiliser codes to access it.

Yea dont take any risks,

book yourself in to get a nice alarm/immob installed ASAP. I went down to my service department and they showed me whilst laughing, compliance charged me for an Autowatch system that was not even there :(

Yeah I was reading up on the key thing too. As soon as I get a minute I will be getting the BCM data and either sending off to Japan and/or finding someone to spit the code out for me. Anyone know if Dandenong Nissan or FTG Nissan would be better to try for decent price keys?

Chris: who would you recommend in Melb for fitting alarm/immob? I'm happy to go as far as Bayswater area but nowhere north of the city.

I was in the same position. The way I checked if mine had an immobiliser at all, was to get the local keysmith to cut a simple key ($15), and attempt to start the car with this plain key (ie no fob). When I tried, the engine turned over, but it did not start. So it obviously has an immobiliser. However, with no extra clicky-thing, I would guess its the standard Nissan one?

By "incorrect" do you mean it should not have passed compliance like this? I just got mine from a dealer, and am still in warranty, so would expect that they have to bring the car up to compliance before it could of been sold?

Are you talking about a "clicky-thing"? or is there an option for something smaller? I would hate to have to carry around two clicky-things.

Mongoose - installed by Nagoya as part of their ready-for-sale process. Confirmed it's there (key fob, and had 3rd party check it while installing cruise control).

yep NATS 5.0 - nothing else. if it WAS there you would have no lights on start up.

its a relative thing. there are 3-4 compliance packs for these cars and it depends on which one was used. it was proven in 2009 that the local NATS 5.0 module used was not the same as the V35. some RAWS were nabbed on it some got away.

quit being a girl :P with the stock NATS system in place if you have a key to the car - its gone. at least with the third party item it has a chance of staying put and also complying with your insurance policy (some specialists REQUIRE a oz stds item to be fitted.)

I would rather a extra item in my pocket than having to walk.

If I have done them - Autowatch. If I have done them by customer request - depends - usually autowatch and usually a FULL tamper proof alarm.

back in 2007-2009 anything that went via a brisbane RAW was done by me.

Yeah never really heard anything bad about Autowatch, Dynamco (they merged for others FYI) or other units overall. 3 point immobiliser I'm sure is one of the requirements for insurance.

Full alarm is good though its a matter of finding the right installer who knows how to bury it really.

My extra immobiliser FOB would be with the key, so if they have one, they would have the other. I will however be checking with my insurance to make sure its satisfactory with them.

If they do not have the key, is the factory standard immobiliser known to be otherwise easy to circumvent?

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
