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.

    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.     
    • Unfortunately, not only is that not the case, one of the main "Selling points" of safety over comms is they clearly state in writing that there's no need to segregate safety networks from non-safety networks. It always gets intermingled with everything else on an ICS/OT network.
