hey all just had this problem 2nite, r32, 93 model gtst with a cyclops 750 alarm system, basicly everythingn is fine, but i went into a private track and pretty muchdid a u turn with a bit of boot, and my alarm system goes off, if anyone knows what the **** could have caused this id really appreciate it,

First off: stupid idea doing burnouts not under controlled circumstances, its a good way to lose your licence in no time. And not a very top way to get respect from fellow skyline drivers.

BUT: It may have something to do with the alarm on the wheels, some alarms go off when the car gets to a certain angle, or when the wheel is lifted off the ground, to stop people nicking your rims. Maybe the car had a bit of bodyroll when you where fanging it in circles.

was under controlled conditions on a private road

pretty much, yeh the alarm should be disabled shouldnt it?

it was hardly a donut, more a 180 turn with wheelspin before alarm went off and i stoped,

im thinking maybe a sonic sensor, but how could that be activated when the alarm is disabled

If you have a battery back up siren and your battery is loose or there is a short the siren could sound under these circumstances. I have seen the same sort of problem when the cars battery has lifted under hard cornering and touched the bonnet (or parcel shelf) and resulted in the siren sounding and misfiring. the alarm should not sound the siren if the system is disarmed. Burnouts are bad hmmkay!!

tell me about it, the battery is firmly secured, no shorts that i can find,

i did notice that when i turned my lights on and off the alarm siren changed pitch and sounded like it was about to stop and then when i played with the lights again, it went up to full vol.

was hardly a burnout, :/ :bond:

Sorry to be so harsh, but its a sore point for me, as Ive had my skyline since i was 17, and I got zero respect from anyone due to other people on the road being tools.

Did you get the alarm installed or whas it already in the car? has it ever done it since.?

My alarm occasionally goes off for no damn reason, when its locked in the garage. Could have just been one of those things to file under the 'WTF?' pile.

Memphis i hear you, im not out doing reckless shit, i drive sensibly, as i want 2 keep my self and my car in one peice. was a once off thing on a private road

the alarm was in the car when i got it

alarm hasnt given me any other problems since that.

went over the car today and came up with the following things.

under the car midway there is what looks like a tiny peice of steel mesh, like a braided wire, that has frayed,

there is another wire next 2 the horns which i think is was for different horn ,however thats not shorting, and then i found this cable in my left front wheelarch sitting next 2 my fmic piping, brown 2 pin plug with loom tube on it,

im currently removing the carbon canister so i can get at , ill see what happens, cheers for all the replys

    • I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it 
    • Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare. 
    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
