Does it have central locking?? Like you press the button and doors unlock??

How do you lock your car??

Ok so once car is locked, you open it with your keys and then have you tired turning on the car??

If it doesnt turn on, it means you have got some sort of immoboliser. If your car does turn on, it means you have no alarm or either it has been disconnected..

Also those rectangle lookin things near windscreen might be some sort of box for your NAV system, which is useless here.

That is my guess anyways!!

PM chris rogers on here and im sure he might be able to help you out.

Regardless of what sort of japanese system is in the car, it most likely wont meet Australian standards ( twin point immobiliser, black wiring, code hoping, auto arm, etc) so the system you have will not help you for anti theft or for insurance.

My advice.

Get it removed and have an Aust Standards approved alarm installed. That way you will have some peace of mind of your car being harder to steal.

yeh.. most liekly i will get it removed.. i was jsut curious as to what all those things were.. it all seemed high tech.. but that was prolli onli to me..

the car atm has onli one lock button.. for keyless entry.. which unlocks once and then locks.. when i press it again.. ( dont know what to do if the alarm does relali go off)...i also cant seem to find the siren for the alarm i heard its like a box about 10 cm by 10 cm in teh engine bay but cant seem to see it..

atm im thinking of getting the Mongoose M80 installed.. ive heard its a decent alarm to install..

thanks for your advice...

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
