i know a lot of people arent keen on viper alarms, but ive got one in mine and it does the job really good, never had any problems. the paging feature is what sold it for me, i was never keen on leaving my car anywhere that i couldnt see it, now its not nearly as much of a worry ;)

Just letting you know flipnot that the stock SII r33 1998 don't have any form of alarm or immobiliser in them. They have central locking.. and.. that's about it..

I've just had a brant fitted to mine which is good, but value for money i'd recommend the mongoose system.

I would suggest an alarm anyways as there is nothing stopping someone stealing the car. The ignition barrel is not chipped either, no matter what people tell you - the key you have only has central locking, that's it - if you need one cut, just tell them you spoke to nissan and it doesn't have a chip, ppl don't like it when you tell them - however it's the truth.

I've got the '98 R33 so if you've got any questions feel free to pm me.

    • Yes, well, mine were 31 years old last year when they finally got done. Started to leak a bit.
    • I've ordered a new fuel pump and plan to do all the fuel tank hoses at the same time. Those are the hoses I would rather not go on the road.
    • As a general rule removing rubber fuel hose is so difficult I would replace it if it hasn't been done in the last 5 years. The risk you damage the liner or one of the inner layers is pretty high if it's not almost brand new. BMW's recommendations around coolant hoses is similar. My R33's fuel hoses at the fuel tank were so perished that they were ready to burst FYI. 
    • Ah yep, will do. Cheers!
    • Yes. It's either "2 wires", or 1 wire, depending on how you look at it. It is the connection that ties the battery -ve to both the chassis and the engine. Every electron that goes in or out of the battery goes through those 2 small spots (on the inner guard and on the engine block). If those are not clean and tight, then shit starts to suffer. Yeah, but measure it again cold in the morning, after it has had hours to rest. You can't usefully test the charge state of a battery immediately after it has been running because the alternator puts a surface charge onto the plates that takes a while to soak in and balance out. It will always read higher, and potentially look properly healthy, when fresh off of charge. But hours later it can look a lot less healthy. It's also worth measuring the battery voltage while cranking, although this can be difficult with a typical DMM because the screem update rate is so slow on most of them. An analogue voltmeter is actually a better tool for that. If the voltage drops too far while cranking, it is a sign of a poor battery. Although I don't think we're necessarily looking for a weak battery here - just wanting to exclude it.
