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.

    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
