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.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      Both of those things are on my to do but not quite in a position to do that just yet until I can at least get it running back to stock. Going to work on getting the exhaust manifold gasket and studs replaced first, an obvious need it now. Then I'll try out the new maf and see hownthat does. After that I'm thinking cas if I'm still having the same issues. Still need to run the fuel out and refuel I'll change the fuel filter tomorrow along with cleaning the iacv with carb cleaner. If all else fails I'm going to get a serial port and see if I can get some sort of data on what the ecu is seeing when the issue is happening but really hoping one of the methods above work out first. After I get a good base I'm going link but have to save for that so it'll be a while for that based on my tuners suggestions. Definitely need the exhaust leak fixed first though car has always fallen flat after about 4-4500 rpm since I've had it and suspecting that's the issue. Then I can move forward with the rest.

      Rebuild vs second hand NEO?

      My vote is rebuild s2 engine or maybe get a neo (but expect you may need to rebuild that too). Doing an engine conversion you would have to be a true tragic nowadays and actively be aware there's better/smarter options for value.

      Or buy one someone built earlier! (realistically V8 mustangs or MKV supras are great). I see people nowadays putting ZF8's into MK4's, and people putting 370z gearboxes, diffs, axles into R and S chassis and it's like.... just get a 370z at that point and mildly boost the 3.7 instead of the 2L and away we go...

      If you're going to go v8 or really any swap now with all the tax, I'd most likely just get rid of the car and start with something else. Unfortunately, I have a mate with a surplus of ls and Ferrari/Maserati v8's that's always tempting me FFS lol.

      If you can get a clean, tested neo from Japan for $3500 these days, it's probably worth getting either way, hard not to be skeptical at that price. Otherwise probably rebuild the s2.
