thinking about getting remote start with my alarm for my gts r32. some people have told me if i get a cheap one it could screw up my engine but i thought it just connects to the starter motor...does anyone know where it goes and if it will do anything to my engine??? :D

they might be referring to the starter motor.. some remote starts will continously try and start your car if the alarm has no comfermation that the engine has kicked over.. mine was doing that when i had it installed... however it just required me to connect a wire form the alarm to the tacho wire to tell the car that the engine was on

remote starts are only good if its an auto, as you put it in P or N when you turn it off or if its not in those gears it wont start anyway...

Anyhow, if its installed in a manual, you gotta leave it in neutral otherwise when you start it it will either stall or maybe even start driving away without you!

a mates cousin has one on his manual VS commodore, he has to check to make sure its in neutral... which kinda defeats the purpose. he started it one time in gear and it started rolling forward! he crapped em good :D

My R33 has a remote start, works well and everyone thats seen it thinks its really cool :D

Worrying about being in gear for me is not an issue as i have a turbo timer & my car is required to remain in neutral for the timer to work.

i got remote start in m car, never missed a beat *touch wood* but there cool in cold mornings to warm up the car.

with most systems the remote start will start teh engine n keep it ideling. if u try and drive it, the engine switches off, so u gotta put the key into the ignition into the on position, once done u can drive as normal ,so they are safe.

alaso most systems if u press remote start, it makes sure ht doors r locked then starts, so no one can jump in n steal it

A turbo timer keeps your engine running for a set amount of time after you turn it off. Anytime the engine is running in a manual the car has to be in neutral or the clutch has to be down. Otherwise it stalls.

cheers.

    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
