Hi Matt. The S2 R33 does after one of the guys here found out the hard way when he was messing around behind the dash and locked out his car.

PS Time to request a change of username ;) Which colour dude? Must be a nice step up

Cheers for the reply Mark. ;) I guess they do then, I assumed they would have something but you never know!

Car is very nice. Been looking for a R32 for a while and decided to fork out the extra dough for an R33 after looking at too many unloved '32s. I wanted a V-Spec in particular and got a S3! Car is the silver, I think it is called Sonic? (According to another S3 being sold here). I'll post pics up when I get an opportunity to take some on the weekend.

No they don't but have a look at your key, does it have a chip in it?

No doupt someone would have fitted on e here though. Do you have remote locking ?

Im with wrxhoon in this one. In the r33 wiring diagrams I have seen - I haven't came across a immobiliser (but thats not to say yours didnt come with one)

With alarms and immobilisers pay someone who knows what they are doing - im an auto elec and the amount of shit alarm setups that take no longer then 5 mins to have a car running is unbelievable. Having all the wiring under the drivers side dash means a theif doesn't have to go looking.

And also, the amount of cheap immobiliser systems that fail is reassurance to do your homework and get a good one. Anyone who recommends your cheap strathfield or night vision varieties obviously hasn't had much to do with alarms.

I have one in my car and i wouldn't drive a performance car without one . I monitor my own so as soon as someone opens the door i get a call from the unit in car .

It will say i have detected an intruder in your car , it will give me the location of the car and if the car is moving, the speed and the direction its heading. It will give me the option of shuting the engine down all i have to do i press a button on my phone, any phone for that matter.

If someone desides to carjack me i can give them the car and as soon as they go turn the engine off.

It will even call me if the car is put on a tow truck, not forced open or started and it has a back up battery if some smart ass desides to cut the main battery .

Too expensive you say, well not much more than some people pay for a decent alarm , about $1250 fitted and the only running cost is the cost of a simcard, i pay $9 per month.

Certainly sounds the goods.

But for me personally the cost is prohibitive. Even simply the $1250 installation is too much to spend on that right now as I have other things I want to do with my cash.

      So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.

      Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go

      OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
