In the door there is a little rubber boot that gets pressed in when the door is closed, if you take the clip off holding this in there is a little white connection plug. One of these wires is for the beeper, I usually just unplug the little boot when I am working on the car with the keys in (e.g. listening to music with the door open while i work)

I want to get mine permanantly disconnected too, drives me nuts.

I also want to get the reminder beep for the headlights changed so that it works when the keys are out but the car is still running (so it reminds me when the turbo timer is still on). Otherwise I will just have to remember to turn them off - not hard but I never hear the reminder even if i leave the lights on cos it is always running when I lock the car.

Ditto. The problem is with a turbo timer it tricks the rest of the car into thinking the key is still in the ignition and turned on. You wouldn't want to have the headlight reminder beeping while you were driving :(

There must be a solution to it but it depends on your alarm and how much of a guru the installer is. I should probably hassle mine to come up with a fix sometime.

Failing that I've got jumper leads in the boot so if I do flatten it hopefully I can flag someone down and get a jump :O

your last request will take a bit of fiddling with relays- doable but a challenge. you need to tell the module that the car is 'off' and from there it will work. a single relay off the second output off the timer will do it.

as for the key beep. see above post I answered that one.

Heh.. with the turbo timer, I don't get the beep because the alarm thinks the car is still on. (and it is really)

Problem is if I leave the parkers or cabin light on, I don't get the chime.

Apart from that, what i'd really like to see, is someone convert the output of the beeper into an LED flasher. I'd find that FAR less annoying when vacuuming my car!

Geoff, i'll probably hit you up with some of those questions! =-D

I feel your pain people! It used to drive me insane even when i was just opening the door to get out and open the garage!

I had an auto electrician who went and unplugged a few things to get it to stop, although it also stopped other things like my interior light sensor,and other things that went through it, so i had to undo his bad work!

So then i investigated my self and found where the sound is coming from. Underneath the dash, near the steering column to the right, you will see a black plastic box, a bit bigger then a cigirette packet, its mounted on an angle parralel to the steering column, it has one bold holding it on by a steel braket. Pull of the removable pannel on the dash so you can see in better (i think this is for the fuses, cant think at the moment).

Unbolt the box and unplug the harness going into it. Then take it to a bench incase you drop it when you pull it apart. For memory it opens with clips on one end, and then the circuit board slides out from one end. Once you have the circuit board out you will see a fairly big black cylinder mounted on it. This is your annoying bastard of a speaker/beeper!

From there just grap your soldierer and carefully unsoldier it from the two pins coming out the underside of the board, and carefully pull it up and out while the soldier is still hot. Put it all back together how it was pluging the harness back in and your done. Enjoy the peacefull sound of silence!

This sounds hard but is piss easy, and i have found no problems with door sensors etc. since doing it about a month ago. It does not trick the car into thinking anything is on etc. I was worried that something ran parralel through the speaker as possible a trigger for something else, but I have seen no sign of this. Its completly reversable anyway by just soldiering the beeper back on. One of the best mods I have done! haha

What do we think?

do you have a lights on reminder??

Obviously not, as the speaker is not there anymore, although this wasnt an issue for me as my previous car was a VK Commodore, which barely had lights bright enough to be called lights, let alone, a light reminder. Therefore, forgetting to leave my lights on isnt really an issue for me as I have never been reliant on a reminder.

Dont know if the turbo/N/A skyline wiring is differant but thats how i did mine..

That's a nice simple way to do it. Can you confirm if it still beeps when you've left the lights on and key is out of ignition?

its for the door only... but im pretty sure the lights wire will be connected to the same box, I wrote that article on my boost cruising account, I found it by trial and error, Just removing a lug then putting the key in the ignition, and seeing if it still beeped, Until i found the wire which it didnt... Do the same except with the lights :) Ill actually go do this now.. Ill tell you how i go.

For the headlights on, Im 90% sure its the red with the blue stripe wire, As all of the lighting wires ive worked with on my car have been this color.. there is one in the cluster of wires that goes into that box in the link i sent... Im not sure how to pull the wire out though.. its differant to the other wirres.

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
