Hi guys,

My installer (George @ Adelaide Pro Sound) and I have been racking our heads trying to get the factory 1998 ER34 GTT immobilizer disabled to enable us to use the remote start mechanism on the Viper 791VX alarm.

Any alarm or sparky guys know how to disable it properly? I've been told it might have some sort of resistance triggered immobilizer (i.e. when you stick they key in the barrel it checks the resistance and stops you starting if this is not right).

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Howie

Seems like this one is factory. Check out another member's r34 loom for sale which has a picture of a factory immobiliser on it

Strange huh? Wouldn't be surprising though.. i'd be pretty prehistoric for a R34 not to have an immobiliser.. i think the S15 silvia has one standard.

My R34 GTR( series II) has one, the key has a chip in it that reads from the ring around the lock and then activates the ECU.

You can only bypass it when the key is in the ignition and turned on ..

hey dude

Im a pro installer from sydney and Wrxhoon is on the right track.

The skylines do have a chip in the key that the factory ecu needs to read or the car will not start.

The Dealer fitted immobiliser Chris is refering to is only the keyless entry module that gets fitted later on which does not affect the chip in the key.

Most cars released after 97/98 came with the chip in the key.

There are ways to bypass it but its not recomended from a security point of view.

BNR 34 , Here is a 34 GTR key pic:

yep yours has a chip (red dot in corner.) must be an option as 99% of the cars I have done had the dealer fitted unit.

32,

not all of them.

All BNR 34's have it , i think it was an option on other 34's.

Here's another point..

Why bother taking away protection ( factory immob) to install remote start which if found and triggered will make the car theives job easier.

Seems to me to defeat the purpose of installing an alarm/ immobiliser system in the first place.

I second that theory, with most remote start immobilisers u might as well leave your keys in the ignition for the theives, I have been asked numerous times to bypass factory immobilisers and iv always refused.

my gtt has same said viper, remote start works, key must be in and turned and then i have to press the accelerator i think, or the brake, i forget. i don't really use it... sounds quite harsh standing on the outside when i remote start. I've heard this is bad for the alternator? might just be internet rumour...

it's handy in certain situations, got it wired to my mirrors, but i can't get the mirrors to fold out when i disarm, quite easy to get the mirrors to fold in on the arm though.

cheers

EDIT: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=127914 - please help with my problem as well, seems like there are some alarm savy ppl in here... (sorry for the mini hi-jack but i'm trying to fix the problem asap)

lol ... thought i'd give what you said a go, didn't start, but the hazard lights started flashing and wouldn't turn off. it had me worried for a while, but i got the hazard lights to stop flashing now.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
