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...

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
