Auto Lock Doors

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

After being assulted on Sunday night after someone ripped open my GTR's door in a service station, I am looking for a sensor I can install so the doors automactically lock.

My previous R33 GTS's doors automactically locked 30 seconds after the ignition was started but this is something the car came with from Japan. Can I get something like this for my R33 GTR v-spec? How would it work with the turbo timer?

Thanks a lot

Angela

I was hoping to have it lock automatically, so I didn't have to make a conscious decision to lock the doors.

Also, if I manually lock the doors, in the case of an accident the doors would still be locked because they aren't tied to the ignition system and computer. I would also have to manually unlock the doors whenever I parked the car, instead of them unlocking when the key is removed from the ignition. Both things, my previous Skyline had.

does it lock the passenger door now once start driving? if that is the case then get an actuator added to the drivers door and tie it to the other one. now if you want it to lock with the start of the car then do teh above and trip the lock switch with a relay it will lock on startup. you then manually unlock it (or with the switch.) when you need to open it.

can be done by anyone with a bit of knowledge on the car.

what car btw S1 or S2?

i had an alarm with auto locking, was ok, i found it annoying though because i had more people getting in the car than driving through dodgey areas where i locked the doors anyways, kinda was annoying because a short time after the ignition was turned on they would lock, managed to lock keys in car a few times, once at a servo....

if your in an acco im sure they would just smash the window to get you out... im pretty sure my current alarm will do it but ive disabled it.. too annoying..

get a gf that locks the doors when your driving, problem solved!

Thanks for your replys.

No, it doesn't lock the passenger door at the moment. It doesn't lock anything automactically, though I do have a button that locks the passenger door manually. Maybe I could use this in the setup? My old skyline auto locked the all doors after ignition, auto un-locked them all once the ignition was cut, including accident, stall etc but I had a button, where my current one is, that unlocked the passenger door (for dropping people off etc)

And BTW Mr Ed32 - I'm a woman :D - I'm not likely to '.. get a gf that locks the doors when your driving ..'

Who didn't pick up on that? :D

Any way of you finding out what kind of alarm you had previously? Sounds like you were more than happy with your old setup.

Dunno if this is door lock? Mine's not set up to do it. What kind of alarm do you currently have? I suspect with mine it's a matter of having the option turned on.

good point. I didn't think there was on on the car. if that is the case though and you do have a lock button then get an actuator added to the drivers door and have it tied to the other door wiring so when you hit the button on hte door they both lock.

and I did note the original poster was female.

Hmm nice topic … well I think its all to do with the alarm that you got. May be its better if you ask someone who know about installing them. When you get it fixed plz let me know.. I would like to get it done for my R33 as well. Check out the links below that guys seams good. May be give him a call. He got some good feedback.

Yes, I always thought it was a standard feature, that's why I've always been suprised that my 33 GTR doesn't have it while my 33 GTS did. Perhaps the pervious owner had some sensor removed since I got my GTS as soon as it arrived in Oz while my GTR ran around Sydney for about a year before I bought it. I was assuming it was a sensor or something simalar, rather than part of the alarm system I was running.

Not sure what alarm I've got, will have to check when I get home, The previous syste, was Brant but this got replaced after an incompetant electrician blew all my wiring! I know I can press the button on the remote after ignition and it will lock both doors, but once the ignition is killed the doors are still locked and I have to press the button again to get them open.

    • Many thanks for your responses, guys.
    • This is why I can't afford a Porsche 911 or a new M3. Farken. Will hopefully provide me with a bit more  braking capacity at SMSP. Going from a 324mm to a 354mm rotor will also help dissipate heaps of heat. Not mention, the rears will also be upgraded to balance the brake bias. Believe it or not, with just only front Brembos and the rear OEM Sumitomo, I can actually feel the brake bias towards the back, hence trail braking into turns I could feel the rear end being unsettled. Hopefully if my broscience serves me correctly, I should resolve the brake bias by upgrading both front and rear calipers.
    • I'll chime in here with my experience. Motec is great if you have the money and know a good person to support you. They don't really offer retail support and the dealers make SFA margin on the product, so the business model is setup for you to be supported by a dealer. I'm lucky enough to know a guy who's ex Motec and very generous with his time and is a total boffin. In addition to that, I also use Brad Sherriff who's an absolute legend to work with. The downside to Motec is the software isn't very intuitive, pay to play, poor/limited online support and costly upgrades.  I've not owned an Emtron myself but a good friend runs a performance workshop in Melbourne who is an Emtron dealer. They won't be fitting any more to customer cars because of the poor level of knowledge within the Emtron support team and lack of ability to solve issues with the platform. Not to mention the circumstances around the establishment of the product and company in the first place. I've run Motec's since the old M8's back in the early 2000's so I'm certainly not without a bias but I look at it like this. Everyone acknowledges Motec as the best consumer grade product without spending mega dollars on Bosch Motorsport / Life Racing and so on. When you consider the real cost of your car (not what you tell your mrs) the cost difference between an Emtron and a Motec is tiny, why would you compromise over a few hundred dollars?
    • Closer to getting the shit box back on the road. That long hose, took 2 months to acquire. However the rest were all already to go same week I ordered them. For those playing at home, that long hose is for a RB25DE N/A motor, as they don't run a water/oil heat exchanger, the hoses underneath the plenum are much more elegant and not a maze of shit.
