So changing the fuel filter I didn't realize the alarm wire was behind the fuel filter bracket, tightening the screws on the bracket, I cut the alarm wires in half, the alarm sounded then the wires touched the body, little spark. Since then I reconnected all the wires but she still don't work, the alarm cost a lot so I'm hoping someone has ideas about how to fix it, I don't want to buy a whole new system just yet

What alarm wires were found behind the fuel filter?

Does the alarm respond to the remotes at all?

Does the car start?

Have you noticed anything that does not work? (ie radio, AC, wipers, cigarette lighter etc)

All alarms should have their own fuse. Check all fuses under dash, in engine bay, near the battery area if it is an R33 and check all fusable links as well. Or call me to diagnose over the phone if you want to save time. 0430534248

All the fuses under the dash and in the engine bay r fine, the remotes don't work, the imobaliser no longer works, the unit doesn't respond to turning it on or off with key, all other electronics work 100% it's the alarm system which 100% doesn't work, I was actually surprised and shocked that the imobaliser stopped working but didn't shut down the car a friend suggested that there could be a fuse inside the unit itself havnt checked yet because I don't gave a small and long enough screw driver to open it up have you heard of them having a fuse inside them ?

Well I don't know what alarm you have, but it would be an inline blade style fuse and it would be rated at either 5 amp (orange colour), 10amp (red colour) or 15amp (blue colour).

Why are forum users scared to use the phone to solve problems, I don't understand?????

Nah it was just a fuse on the alarm loom which was hard to find, that's why I thought the alarm was screwed, by the way it's a Cheetah alarm from car toys, I explained the situation to them and they recommended replacing the unit for 250 not including labour, they never even mentioned that it could be a fuse, they're expensive and dodgy I don't recommend getting them to do work on your car, I know other examples of them ripping people off too.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 馃槀 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
