There are NO GOOD AUTO ELECTRICIANS when it comes to Car security and alarms.

A guy that rebuils alternators is not the best person to take your car to for this.

Take your car to a place that specialises in the brand/type of alarm you have and have it fixed correctly.

Remember, that device might be the only thing between your car and a thief one day so go it done right.

As for resonably priced, honestly when it comes to securing your car, spend a few extra dollars, it could be worth it one night.

Yeah I'll try and find what type it is tomorrow. It was on the car when i got it. Your right frx o26 not worth cutting corners. I took it somwhere and i should of given them the alarm key coz the battery went flat. In end the central locking doesnt work and the alarm is so quiet someone breaking in would laugh. So tomorrow gunna sus out exactly what happened and find out what type it is.

Fair load of rubbish in that statement.

Let me explain my point of view.

1 - Auto Elecs do not do any type of alarm install training

2 - Auto Elecs do not understand security products as it is something they see on an ad hok basis

3 - Auto Elecs whilst being able to wire the alarm so it will work, install them in the most obvious places and make the security system virtually an easy steal for a thief.

My point of view comes from 11 years or so in the Car Audio and Security industry both here in Australia and oversea's. I can honestly say that i have never seen a good instal from an Auto Electrician, and while most will not admit they do not like doing alarms and sound systems, they do it anyway, to a very poor standard.

My comments were aimed at having the person's car secured. Surely you must agree that taking your vehicle to someone that is specially trained and is comfortable with installing alarms and security devices would be better than taking it to someone who only does an alarm "when they have to".

The other point that I would like to bring up is in relation to insurance.

In my current posistion I have had to provide insurance company's a report on stolen/ recovered cars before a payout is made to the owners. One of the point's that must be met for an insurance claim to be valid ( by the company's i consult to) is that the alarm be installed by a person that is certified in that brand. In cases where the instalation is substandard or the installer was not trained in that brand, the claim has been denied, meaning the owner receives nothing. ( but they saved a couple of bucks getting the alarm done)

So I repeat my original statement.

There are NO GOOD AUTO ELECTRICIANS when it comes to Car security and alarms.

Yeah i figured that when he replied, when you wrote Rossco i asumed it was me, coz there aint that many out there. Anyway thanks a lot guys. I'll tell him that, cheers. Frx026, what your saying is 100% right but my alarm is already installed just need to find out why the module isnt getting the remotes signal. (not battery) The auto elec should sus it out. If not hopefully tell me the brand, its not marked anywhere (for obvoise reasons i guees) and it looks like i have to prof read before i send lol

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
