Hi guys,

Can someone please help me?

Basically, from what I understand, the door sensors on the r33 are on different circuits. i.e. when the driver's door is opened and the key is in the ignition, there is a chime noise. But, when the passenger door is opened, there is no chime noise.

If i'm hooking up an alarm, how can I get it such that if either door is opened, the alarm will be triggered? i.e. where can I tap into a wire?

The reason I ask is because my alarm installer did a dodgy job.

Hi mate go to the thick wiring loom in the drivers kickpanel (to the right of your left foot) and find a thin red wire, it is one of 2 and it is the thinner one out of the 2, you can tell because the other one is a little thicker in diameter.

I have been fitting car alarms for Security In Motion for the past 5 years and if we don't know nobody does!

Next time just call us.

Can you explain something to me?

The previous alarm installer just soldered a wire onto the actual switch on the driver's door. But as I said above, the passenger's door is on a separate circuit.

So just to confirm, doing this red wire will have it hooked up to both sensors?

To Confirm in a r33 the door sensor pick up wire is the thin red wire in the drivers kickpanel.

And as how that has been done, i have to repeat myself

It sound like your car would be fairly easy to steal.

Why?

Well not because one door does not trigger the alarm. But because the original installer obviously had no idea what he was doing. The r33 uses one wire to sense both doors opening, so having only one working means that installer -

- did not have much skill

- does not know skylines

- has probably left the alarm box in your kick panel or just under the dash

- was working to a price

I think what you should do is have a look under your dash, drivers kickpanel to see if you can see the alarm, if you can, dont bother taking it back to your original installer, take it to someone who knows what the are doing and get the entire alarm relocated and rewired.

Sure its extra money, but really from what you have said, it would most likely take less than 30 seconds to steal your car at the moment.

If you are looking to get it done fire a PM at CHRIS ROGERS, he is the man with the install contacts.

no it doesn't.

depending on car they are two different leads in two different spots.

32,33,34 &35 are diode isolated from the drivers door. all have two places to get the wire. I do not get it in the usual spot. colours are all similar.

inthe case of a S2 33 and 34 the smart entry system will foul the alarm if tied in at that point.

WOOHOO this is so helpful, hey its to the right of your RIGHT foot, I got confused for a little there!

Its the loom that continues back under the carpet along the right side of the car :)

I'm not sure this is completely the same problem, but I have an alarm installed that triggers on both doors which are on separate circuits, but the interior light no longer turns on when the passenger side door is opened. My car originally had the factory keyless entry. I'm guessing it's probably a bad idea to brigde the two door wires down at the kick panel. Is there possibly any other way I can overcome this problem?

Was thinking maybe I need to link the interior light circuit to the passenger door switch via a diode, but I have no idea which wire the interior light trigger is.

Any help here would be appreciated. I don't really want to take it back to the installer they were quite rough with my interior trim after commenting how 'Nice & clean' my interior was (GT AUTOSOUND, DON'T GO THERE! If you truely value your car).

are you sure the alarm works on bith doors?

bridging the wires will only make the lights on buzzer show on both doors not jst the drivers one.

Yeah pretty sure it works, confusing I know, but that's the way it's working at the moment. Not sure if it had anything to do with the factory central locking system as both the door wires did go to that. It has been removed so I'm thinking that's the reason.

      Like I said, "black magic" LOL In the end,  it is what it is, and hopefully, what this here knuckle head has done is an improvement and not a hindrance Not that I actually notice any negatives now, or that I will get any seat of the pants benefits when all is said and done, but best practice says I shouldn't be pulling intake air from the hot engine bay  Famous last words: I cannot see it being any worse than what it is at the moment 🤔

      If the gases flowing in those two tracts had the same properties, you could maybe use such broscience. But the exhaust has a different composition, different normal density, different actual density (because of different normal density, and mostly because of the massively higher temperature), and different viscosity (again because of much higher temperature). Consequently, all of the fluid dynamics parameters that matter, that you calculate from these inputs, such as the Reynolds number, friction factors (for wall friction) and so on, are all incomparable.

      In the US almost everything is E10. It can't exceed 10% by much or fuel systems have trouble adapting. At the same time because MTBE, MMT, and TEL are all banned they need as much ethanol in it as possible to boost octane.

      I was mostly jesting. In my experience (and probably only my experience) the R34 GTT physical airbox space is actually too small to flow the amount of power it wanted. By sealing the box, I made it so it could only be fed by the ducts themselves. So you can seal it up and get nice cold air which IS good, but at a certain crossover point: More Hot Air > Less Cold Air I don't think you're at this point. In my case merely ducting the hot air intake with a very focused set of ducts counteracts the fact it's in a V8 engine bay. More cold air obviously best. The solution looks great.
