Hey guys, i own a R33 GTS-T S2 with a quictrak alarm in it. The problem is i drove it to work and when i went to arm the alarm it wouldnt arm so i just key locked it. This sarvo i got in tried to start it and it would try to kick over but wouldnt go? Popped the bonnet and very faintly icould hear the alarm sounding, so i tried to disarm the alarm but it still did nothing? When i turn the ignition on no system check lights come on in the dash or the main screen on my boost controler dosent appear like it normally does, power windows dont work either etc... but the stereo and lights do? so thats why i think its the immobiliser not battery

Any help / suggestions would be great or even how ot reboot the alarm cheers?

hi,

contact quicktrack, and they will be able to tell you what the problem is, they can basically control stuff in your car from their computer, providing that it is setup and being monitored. usually they should call you when a problem like that occurs, they can even tell if your car battery is dead.

try that out.

btw they should be open 24/7.

thanx

Ive only had the car for a couple of months now and i dont have any paperwork for the alarm system ie: serial numbers etc and i doubt its even activated atm. I have the spare batt for the alarm system so ill give that a try and find where its located in the car and give that a go cheers

It does sound like your alarm/immobiliser, but don't rule out the battery.

The same thing happened to me a few months back where the stereo and lights would work, but the engine wouldn't crank over. The starter motor drains a fair charge from the battery, so there may not be enough charge in the battery to turn it over, yet still enough charge to power the stereo and lights.

I changed the battery and she was sweet after that - so my advice is to get a volt metre and check your battery.

If it's not either of the above, then perhaps your starter motor is rooted...try rolling the car forward/backward in gear (or tap the starter motor with a hammer) and then see if you can start it.

Good luck.

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......

      I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.

      IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
