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.

    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
    • Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
