If you cut the wires and measure there voltage (using the chassis as the ground) when the alarm is inactive and when its set off it should give you an idea how to hook up a 2 wire siren. One wire is always going to be a ground, the only other you need is one that goes to 12v when the alarm is suppose to be going off. The ground wire can be measured using an ohm meter directly to the chassis.

If its a 4 wire then it might be a battery backup one perhaps?

Well thats a bitch

If the red wire has a constant 12v then the siren may be negatively switched. So instead of having it constantly connected to the ground and switching the 12v on and off it could have a constant 12v and switch the ground.

Have you got a multimeter?

If so I'd measure the resistance of the green wire to the chassis. If you find that the resistance is high when the alarm is not sounding and low when is it, connect the red to the positive on the siren and the green to the negative on the siren.

Something has to change to tell the siren when to turn on... you just gotta find what

Good luck :D

hiya

watever you do dont use your horn as a siren as some of em do... if someone wants to pinch your car they lean under your car cut the horn wire and they can work silently without anyone knowing

ok thats enough info. its a battery item. wire it:

red- +12

nlk - gnd

org (or wire it connects to) - trigger.

any idea on the make of the alarm. org usually indicates a cyclops unit.

Can you perhaps break apart your broken siren and post pics?

You can look for things like common wire (12v and grounds), wires connected to relay's or betteries etc. to give you can idea. Jaycar also sell a battery backup car siren which from the pic on there site looks like a 4 wire.

Did you try connecting the red wire on the siren to the red wire from the alarm and then trying the black siren wire on the other wires?

If that doesn't give you results I'm stumped

    • As I've said elsewhere, I am using the stock intercooler piping path in the engine bay, and a return flow cooler, and making ~250 rwkW (without any effort put into trying to turn it up past there just yet) and expect to be able to make some more, and frankly, I would be perfectly happy with 260-270rwKW. This is peak road Skyline usability territory. You go past there and, sure, the car will snap necks more when it's on boost, but it will also break shit all the time, cost a (even larger) fortune in tyres, etc etc. Anyway, I also do not like the over-the-fan pipe path, and you don't have to do it.
    • I see, honestly I’m not too fussed about the looks. The only reason to go plenum is to make the piping easier instead of the classic over the rad etc. 
    • Not easy to quantify wrt something like how many fractions of a second slower it would be over 0-100. But given that a 250-300rwkW car is able to do that launch sprint in 5-6 sec (and faster with appropriate tyres, and surface)..... giving up as much as a second would feel like torture. A ~450HP capable turbo is not going to make lots of boost in the 2000-3000 rpm range. So, whilst with some boost on hand it will be faster accelerating in that rev range than your engine currently is NA, it will not feel like a fast car until the boost is solidly in. You know what your car feels like right now when you open it up at 2000rpm. if you've ever been in an actual fast car, you will appreciate that the NARB25 is.... not exciting. Well, add some boost and it will be better. But shorten the intake runners and it might not be better at all. It might come out better, but it could end up feeling the same. For me, it's not the 0-X km/h sprints that matter. It is easy to fry the tyres with anything over 200 rwkW. You can't use all the power available in 1st and 2nd anyway, you have to modulate the throttle. What matters is how the car reacts when you're driving in traffic in 4th or 5th and have maybe 2000 rpm on board, and you want/need to add some speed quickly, and don't have time for the downshift. It won't make boost, it will be all NA (at the speeds we're talking about - remember how fast you're going at 2000 in 4th! and don't plan on breaking the limit by too much.) So giving away NA torque is not what I would consider practical for a street car. And retaining that NA torque builds boost faster which makes the car faster. The flashy plenum is not actually better, unless you're looking at a track car where you can keep it on the boil all the time.  
    • So how much difference does it make you think? Like 1 second in the 0-100?  I was have smaller turbo so hopefully that spools quick GTX2871.  currently it’s NA so you can imagine pretty slow, but I do want fast accusation a little as there’s not many places I’ll be driving where I go over 80 even near me. So 0-60 and 0-80 targets
