G'day guys,

I was overseas last year for a while and my 1996 Skyline was sitting in a garage being driven occasionally by a friend to keep the juices flowing. When I came back the factory immobiliser (at least i presume it is factory) seemed to have stopped working - pressing the button on the remote seemed to have no effect (battery in remote fine though).

Anyway, long story short, my battery died last week and all of a sudden, my immobiliser started working again. Having moved house a couple of times since the immobiliser stopped working, i seemed to have packed the remote away and have no idea where it is (really smart, i know)...

What are my options for getting the car started? is there a way to bypass the factory immobiliser or am i going to need to get an auto electrician out to my house? is there any point calling the RACV in?

any advice you guys have would be appreciated...

thanks,

evo

If you don't want to find the remote you'll have to get in and find the immobilisation point. It should be the same on every r33 but I doubt you'll have people posting this up on the forum -especially since they don't know you're not really a thief that hasn't figured it out.

Obviously, if you own the car you could just get someone to come out and install a new alarm and get them to disable the old one at the same time. If they've worked on a r33 before doing the same thing they should know.

Good luck.

      Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.

      Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.

      There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.

      Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
