Silly Alarm Question?

A simple one...

Can you use an alarm and a kill switch in unison, or will a kill switch somehow affect or tamper with the operation of an alarm?

Thanks.

Yes your just adding another immobiliser point, but if you want to be tricky cut the negative of the ignition coil and hide the switch somewhere where only you know

Yah, as above... depends what you're going to kill.

If you cut the ignition circuit with a kill-switch, then possibly your turbo timer won't work or something. If you kill the fuel pump relay, and your alarm doesn't already do that, then you've effectively added another "immobiliser" point!

Was thinking about doing something like this.

A friend suggested and had this on his old rx. Have a kill switch wired into your coils, then when someone tries to start it - it won't, but you'll still here it trying to turn over.

    • Yeah, I get that. I try to be as cost-efficient as possible with cars, and typically prefer to buy them at the bottom of their depreciation curve. I was looking at those Bilsteins too as they're roughly in the same price bracket as the BC's - lack of adjustability and being soft put me off, not that I want anything too hard. That's my issue with the Skyline, it's too expensive and it's reflected in my driving. I don't mind going full pelt as long as there's a gravel trap to catch me. Really, proper safety equipment is needed for total confidence. Well this just turned up for the BMW. I'll try and get the front together tomorrow and take some pics of the absolutely horrid rear end; perhaps I'll have a crack at the rear on Wednesday. I need to make the car drivable before the weekend as I'll be driving it over to London.

    • It does sound like a fuse considering the indicators work..I’ll triple check when I’m free and report back.    thanks for the reply.
    • no, the car was a manual 5 speed from the factory and still is.
    • While going through data logs late last week, I spotted a small issue with my WMI. My WMI starts to progressively inject at 11psi of boost. I'm using a 25psi cut in pressure switch on my WMI as an added safety and if the curve is linear, I should hit that 25psi on my WMI system around 13-14psi of boost.  As per my data logs, my WMI pressure switch only activates around 19psi of boost. This is causing my non WMI 4D map to trim for WMI. I'm presuming this is caused by the mechanical switch response time, injection curve not being linear or both.  I ordered a 2-10psi adjustable cut in pressure switch which should correct this. If this doesn't resolve it before my dyno appointment on Friday, I'll just remove the pressure switch temporarily and more than likely replace it with a pressure transmitter afterwards.    BTW Speedtek has yet to refund me.
