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

there is an immobilizer in the R34 GTt? 1998?. How can I tell if my is disable or it didn't have one in the first place?

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.

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
