It's a DYI job.. which I don't mind 'cause I wanna learn more...

Don't worry it's OK.. I studied Mechatronic Engineering for a few years and if I can built a control system for a robot, then I'm sure I can work it out.

So.. you reckon that more expensive immobilisers are better? Or just have more features? OK... I guess you get what you pay for.

Thanks.

Hey Dukie,

I didn't mean to sound too "big-headed" in my last post. I just love learning how things work and doing them myself for the feeling of achievement... I'm sure you know what I mean.

My new car isn't a skyline, so I'm not as worried as you are about protecting it.. but I think that you're right in wanting good, professionally installed security you know you can rely on.

Cheers.

what i hate about is car alarms sold with extra functionality you have to purchase later, for example some systems do not include relays for the indicators, starter motor, boot release etc. also it is better that all these are inside the unit rather than edded on later (less messier wiring)

yeah that unit looks okay but as its sold as an immobiliser it doesn't have a siren on it (although - optional horn).

it has two outputs for the fuel pump and starter like most units. you can also get three phase cut outs (like cutting the power to ignition coil transistors for example make the life for a crim even more difficult even if they manage to manually crank the starter and know the location of your fuel pump wiring to short that)

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
