R33 Factory Immobiliser

I've got what seems to be a factory immobiliser which I think is playing havoc with my car and preventing it from starting. Originally it was just stopping the spark, but after I unplugged it and plugged it back in, the fuel pump now pulses off and on several times a second continuously when I switch the ignition on, instead of priming for 5 seconds. Once it also primed for 5 seconds, then stopped for a few seconds, then primed for another 5 seconds, etc. But now it's just in the "pulse" mode.

Can someone please give me rough guidelines about how to ditch the factory immobiliser permanently? I only got 1 key with the car and no remote button, so even if it's just armed rather than broken I've got no way of ever disarming it. I already have an aftermarket immobiliser installed (by someone else) and I think this might have damaged something else when installed alongside the factory immobiliser. I didn't know it had a factory immobiliser until I ripped the dash apart to find out what was going on.

If someone can pm me the pin in-outs on the green plug that would greatly appreciated. I can provide proof that I own the car, plus photographs of what I've disassembled so far if need be.

The fuel pump problem is a major concern though, I'm starting to think that my ECU might be partially fried due to this wiring mess. Someone want to lend me an ECU as well? :)

Factory immobiliser??

If it had a dealer-optional immobiliser or something, your alarm installer must have been drunk to run two at the same time.

Try posting those pics up, cause Chris and some others can tell what kind of alarm it is by the box or numbers on the box.

Ok I've got most of the immobiliser loom removed, just tricky getting to the last bit on the inner guard. I'll worry about that later.

What I've now found is a bunch of wiring in the boot, with some clearly aftermarket splicing going on, probably related to the immobiliser due to using the same plastic joiner things. There are 2 items which weren't in my GTS-t and even though it has a Nissan stamp on it, I can't understand why it would need this dodgy spliced wiring. The object in the last pic has some wires which go into the fuel pump loom, but I don't know if they have anything to do with the fuel pump. It makes no difference to anything if I disconnect this bit, the fuel pump still pulses off and on when the ignition is on.

Pic descriptions, in order:

1. Nissan stamp 47850 24U00 on top of the box I removed with all the wires going into it.

2. The total mess of spliced wiring behind the object.

3. The space from which I removed the object.

4. Weird object that doesn't make a difference when I unplug it.

Can someone help me identify anything here and what I should do with it all?

Ah, I think I figured out what it is. There's an electronic torque splitter in the dash. It must be wired into the 4WD module to control the settings. I don't know what that other module is but I don't think it matters. Time to look elsewhere. Well, time to go to bed first (sigh)

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
