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.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
