I religously start my car and run it for at least 5 minutes before I drive it every morning, so the remote start would save me walking out to the garage. And yes false alarms are a pain in the butt - but what's the alternative?! Better be over-protected than some dickwit steal your car or your stuff. Remeber, I had my car broken into within 5 minutes of me leaving it in Kensington Park - in the middle of the day. These crooks have no respect or fear whatsoever. I am soooooo close to leaving my car at Tea Tree Plaza one arvo and watching it from a distance with a few mates and a baseball bat. It is very out of control - the crooks know they hardly get punished, so keep doing it. When they can't walk or use their fingers anymore they won't be able to rip-off people's pride-and-joy.

Looks like "The 34" won't be on the road until November at this stage. We are off to the USA in 9 days and don't get back until the end of September - so it will go in for compliance in October sometime. Can't wait!

i couldnt belive what they did with your S15, would have been nice to have a rock handy and take out their rear windscreen :D

have to organise a cruise the weekend after you get it complied :D

yep, will do for sure!!!

I'm still acquiring bits and pieces to fit before I get it on the road - I have quite a little collection under my bed.

The wheels have gone in to be repainted, and I currently have the stockies on the car (as per my sig pics) - I quite like the stockies - but my dish rims will be unreal when I get them back :D

i understand the perspective you coming from andrew particualr since you've experienced it first hand. persoanlly, i just cant stand the false alarms - hasnt happened on the 33 but the sil gets it all the time. thing is though, when an alarm goes off a majority of people just ignore it as they assume its only a false alarm when in fact that may not be the case. i guess this is where the pager then comes in handy.

yep, my thoughts exactly Duc. People barely look when a car alarm goes off these days.

I found this nice pic (below) in my travels - thought I'd share it with you all. If anyone wants it in 1280 x 960 for their desktop let me know and I'll email the original to you.

yep, and an " as many point possible " immoboliser to prevent the bitches takin off with the car, i always try to leave my car in a place where its easily visible anyways, i'd rather park it sumwhere like that than in the far corner of a car park where its hard to see

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
