the way to go is an alarm that you can disable the chirp. say by pressing button 2 the button 1. That way you can have the best of both worlds.

YEP thats the way i have mine set up. Best of both worlds so if your in the ghetto (jk) then u can warn everyone to back the f*#k away from your ride.

Get home at 4am and you dont want to "ALARM" any of your neighbours then its a slient arm :Pimp2:

Yeah thats a good idea, but sometimes the second button doesnt register and it still chirps :mad: I got that on the pathfinder.

mines a total pain in the arse atm... the latex/rubber that the buttons are moulded onto is cracking and has lost it's strength... so chances are every time a bit of pressure (like a tiny bit) is put on the buttons while in your pocket, it arms or disarms. quite annoying when you're getting into the car with keys in hand, and the bloody thing arms

i like the chirp so that you know the alarm has actually armed itself, handy if your walking away from the car as you press the button.

mine has both normal arm/disarm and silent. crap thing is, if say i unlock the car and dont open the door within 15 seconds, it re-arms with the chirp regardless of how i disarm it. i always forget that it does that!

Mine does exactly that. Love it. Very handy. Only problem. Once the engine is off and the doors/boot are closed, I have about 4-5 seconds to arm it before it chirps 3 times. Annoying when you're trying to sneak home. :chairshot

Took me a while to work this function out, thought I was just going crazy, but when i walk to the car, once I disarm the alarm, if I don't open the door within about 30seconds-1min, it rearms itself. Pain in the arse sometimes, but i guess its in case you knock the disarm button walking away.

hmm :confused: anyone else's do that?

Mine has both modes..... Quiet mode I use it when its night esp at home.

I chip it when i get into the car or out of the car if i park it in the city or places where lots of people are there, so they know it is alarmed.

Chrip it.

Way I see it if people can sleep through a skylines exhaust when you bring it home late at night then they can definantley make it through the alarm noise :)

Also, the chirp noise sounds pimp!

Car alarm and immobiliser chrips each time I press the remote button *DUH*

Don't really mind it except for those times when you need to get in and out of your car and people around you just think you're nuts!

Also another thing is the immobiliser self arming, gets me every time as it takes about 15 secs no matter what you do/don't do. Other than that it's fine.... I'd like an option though~

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Thanks for the reply, So i've continued playing around, and fitted the injector adaptors onto the injector, the fuel rail is not able to be mounted now as the injectors sit a bit further out. I suppose the point of the adaptors is so that the injector nozzle isn't so deep into the intake? I suppose 1mm extra on the o-ring would do it but still can't mount the rail onto the intake haha. Waiting on a reply from Aeroflow I'm sure there's something stupid that I'm missing...

      GReddy Injector Help!

      I have a radium fuel rail on my Greddy manifold and used the supplied radium fuel injector to manifold adapters (The round green things pictured). I did always wonder if you could just go ahead and use the second lower hole like you're doing... Wouldn't thicker o-rings solve your issue?

      Does anybody use the Firestryker or Element sticks?

      From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys.
