Has anyone encounter this before?

The remote central locking system can lock the car while the turbo timer is counting down meaning ( engine still running)

I need to manual lock the car while turbo timer is counting down which is a pain in the ***!!!

Does anyone know how to solve the problem without having to reinstall a new alarm system? Can the wire be rewired somehow??

Called up a few auto technicans... They are saying that it is not a easy job and will cost something like 200 dollar to rewire the system...

Is that true???

I am living in Queensland, brisbane

Hope someone can help me or recommend me someone to do the job in queensland

Thanks

I don't understand the problem?

You can lock the doors with the remote but you have to lock the drivers door with the key??

By the sound of it your turbo timer has an immobiliser bypass while in the cooling down stage. This is a prefered option.

Hi markOhR33,

it is a fairly straight forward fix, just take it to Chris Rogers and get him to do it.

He knows his stuff.

Having your alarm working is worth the money, after all, it might be the only thing preventing someone stealing your precious ride.

OO_The4door_OO - FYI - this would not be the prefered option and would mean that your car would be very easy to steal, all I would need to do is find the turbo timer, trigger it and bang, there is your ignition, roll start it, the car is gone, you lost your ride.

It is possible to have muliple point immobilisation and a turbo timer and not have your car easy to steal. There is just a lot more wiring and people within the industry tend not to release this type of information. But i will assure you it can be done.

Actually frx026, if you have ever done the PIC programming for alarm/immobiliser modules, you'd know what goes on inside.

The simple function of the module is that one can lock the car and walk away while the motor is in the cool down stage. During this stage the alarm is armed. The purpose of that is so you don't have to stand around and wait for the turbo timer to run out, then you lock the car.

Now if some one came along how do they get into your car to "find the turbo timer, trigger it and bang, there is your ignition, roll start it, the car is gone, you lost your ride." if the car is LOCKED and if they actualy manage to open any doors the engine immediatly stops and the immobiliser points kick in???

Trust me markOhR33 manufacturers do this on purpose and why would they keep doing it if it was so easy to steal the car?

I've been installing alarms for years and now program my own alarm systems. My R33 has no more key to get in or start the car, every thing is done by the rolling code remote - remote engine start; unlocking the doors etc. There is no more ignition barrel but a keypad for me to put in a 8 digit code to access car functions and if any unauthourised access to the car happens there is a GSM remote module which calls my mobile to let me know the alarm has gone off. To add to that simple GSM tracking software lets me call the car to find it's location any where in the world down to a 5m radius.

Did that alarm in my spare time.

PJ,

did this one a while back. car has been sold since. same idea that I do with all of them.

justin,

would be interested to see who you work for. (fire me a pm.)

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
