Mongoose M80 Alarm

Hi All I have just had a mongoose M80 installed in my car. I got it installed with dual stage shock sensor and a glass breakage sensor.

I am not really hoppy with the place that installed it and do not have complete confidence in them.

The alarm goes off for no reason (while in my locked garage)

I took it back and they adjusted the sensors and it is still going off all the time.

Also they wanted a rediculous ammount of money to put an actuator in the drivers door so I decided I will do that bit myself. they did not even plug in the harness for central locking

so I have 2 questions.

1. do I need a master or slave actuator? the alarm has central locking relays already...

what are the wires I need to run to the door from the C/L loom and where can i buy an actuator?

2. how can I diagnose why the alarm is goin off all the time.

Thanks in advance :P

i got one of these installed into my car and i think the guys told me it was a master actuator that they needed to put in. they supplied and fitted it for i think it was $50.

with the other questions i dont have a clue to go about them

hope this helps

master actuator. you will need to tie it to the lock switch in that door. ( the OEM one that drives teh other doors of the drivers door is usually stuffed!)

as for diagnosis : if yo uhave the book -read it. about 3/4 back there will be a few pageds on error chirps and led codes. that will tell you what is up. from there its up to you to adjust it.

fire me a PM with the alarm location (I'll help you hide it,)

when u disarm the alarm after its gone off the led should flash a combo which you can refer back to the manual to see which sensor is setting it off and thus make you adjustments. My bet is that your interior motion sensor is set with to bigger radius, if the interior sensor is tripped the alarm will go off without warning. try moving the motion sensor unit to very centre of the car to get best operation out of it, I have mine mounted in behind the handbreak but under the plastic so it cant be seen, however try to keep away from metals as much as possible as it effects the sensor. A warning to you if you mess with major functions of alarm you will void your warranty. Talk to baysidebluer34 from this forum he installs them and knows all there is to know bout them

He doesn't have the microwave sensor, only the impact sensor which should only go off if something bumps into the car and the vibration sets off the alarm.

I have this alarm and have had no troubles with it going off unwarranted, it's set on medium sensitivity for the Impact sensor...I'd be making sure yours is too.

true,

btw I fit these to all skylines and have been since 2001 so I figure I know them fairly well myself.

One other thing to consider is the type of sensor you are dealing with.

Is it a microwave or ultrasonic sender? Is it a pressure or vibration sensor? etc...

Basically microwave sensors emit a signal that can travel through glass, park the car in a tin shed and the signal travels out the glass hits the relective surface of the tin, is dispersed and may error the alarm.

Microwave sensors are generally un relialbe as they can also be tempreture dependant.

Ultrasonics emit a sound wave within the vehcile, the use a sender and a receiver and operate when the wave being sent is interupted. These are a lot more reliable, are not tempreture sensitive or prone to errors.

The other thing to consider is that if you are not happy with the way the system has been installed in the vehicle then take it somewhere else, tell them you bought the car with the alarm in it and then ask them for an opinion. You may be surprised at how crap the first companies instal was.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
