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)

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      Great work! Give it a clean up with some Emery paper, and I'd run a thread die over the threads too to clean them up. It will make reinstall much easier, and also life easier for the next time it needs to come out.

      I'm not a fan of high humidity, it's one reason I don't mind being further inland out Ipswich, except the last 3 odd years, the drought broke, and it won't stop raining, which is making the humidity nearly unbearable when the rains are in during summer! For me, my body hates the cold, once the cold sets into my body, I'm totally screwed. I end up with severe muscle spasm in my back/shoulder muscles, and it feels like someone is trying to tear the muscles out. I have no issues with it getting stupid hot, so long as the humidity goes away. So the last 3 years as above, have been woeful! Ha ha. However, June 1st, and I'm only just converting from shorts and a tee, to long pants and a t shirt. And that's mainly as it's a bit wet and miserable and I wanted to work on a car.

      I much prefer colder weather to hot weather, and especially prefer cold to hot and humid, Goulburn does gets pretty warm in the hotter months, but, I've found the humidity there is not as painful as even Sydney, the humidity up north is to oppressing for this old rooster  In saying this, it does get rather "nippy" in Goulburn for early morning, late in the evening walks, but nothing that a layer or two, some thermal gloves, and a beanie doesn't fix to make it an enjoyable experience, which is much more bearable to me than the oppression of heat and humidity,  especially at night when your trying to sleep If I recall correctly, a "wise man" once said that the "Southern Tablelands" was gods country, and I will not argue that point with him for the fear of a "permaban" LOL In car part related news: My intake is currently in Botany getting processed for the last leg of its shipping journey to my door

      Had a go at the stuck crush tube this afternoon. Tried things like grips and a chain wrench first but wouldn't just twist straight off. So got to work with a drill. Started small and kept a depth stop on to make sure I didn't drill into the bolt. Made a line of drill holes all the way up and enlarged them. Then a combination of chisel and Dremel to split it all the way up. Levered the split to get oil in there and eventually it gave a bit while levering. Worked it back and forth with loads more oil till it was spinning freely, then with grips I could work it downwards and off. And no significant damage to the bolt (not by me anyway - just the 27 years of rust)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Well, I'm tired. I'm tired because about 4PM yesterday, before today's appointment someone immediately bought my bumper. They couldn't get it any other day as they're on the way back to NSW. So I had to do that big GTR conversion I had been planning. Unfortunately, the information on SAU about what you need and how this is done is incomplete. So what should be a simple bolt on affair, yeah, it's not. Did you know if you use all GTR items the bonnet won't close? This little manuever sent me into about 1am the night before trying to dodge a way to get it closed. I will have to revisit this in the next few days  - or maybe not, I may let a body shop figure it out. It all needs to come up and my motivation to pull the bumper off is low. It also seems to hit things in the bay where the GTT bonnet didn't. Yes I used 100% new OEM GTR items. Today, I had the joy of driving to the dyno looking like this: Given I had roughed in the fuel and given sensible but pretty conservative timing, I didn't really bet on having the car drive out any real difference than when it drove in. Sadly due to a miscommunication and laptop fun and games (and almost bricking the dongle, prayers and firmware updates indeed), I ended up using HP Tuner credits to licence the car that was already licenced. So in the end my laptop was used. It turns out my butt dyno is still well calibrated after all this time. The 325kw was on 74% Ethanol, the 313kw line was on 98. The other line is the 'before' line which was 281kw. While the numbers are pretty low, they're pretty in line with what you'd expect. Even if US dynos bump the whole result up about 50KW, gaining 10-15% is similar gains.  The curve of the cam is pretty much spot on with what was discussed as well. All this said, it still feels bad to not see the number you secretly want to see. Even if the car drove great beforehand, and I knew pretty confidently the car would drive out much the same way it drove in due to the nature of a wellish dialled in LS1 not gaining much if anything at all from being tuned from where it was. As expected, the car isn't particularly sensitive to running it at anywhere between 12.0 and 13.0 - And the initial timing at 20deg and 12.0 made 308KW. So 3 degrees of timing, and leaning it out to 12.7 for 5kw, anything above stopped giving any benefit until E85 (which has an additional 2 deg as before). Car itself behaved entirely fine. I found out that 100C = 1.15V! IAT at about 7pm was 19C. I might mess with the bonnet mounting.. but given the REO NEEDS TO BE CHOPPED TO FIT A GTR BAR this is possibly something I may leave gathering (more) dust until it returns to paint jail.
