I have just bought an auto window roll up kit and was wondering if it is easy (and possible) to combine this with the folding mirrors e.g. as windows are told to roll up, mirrors fold in (and if possible fold out again when the car is started).

I am also thinking about shaving the boot lock off my car and disconnecting the release from the drivers side (e.g. just having the boot release on the alarm as the only way to access the boot).

Has anyone moved the boot release from near the drivers seat somewhere else in the car to make it harder for potential thieves to access the boot? e.g. moving the release somewhere under a seat, or in the back of the glove box?

I am just throwing around a few ideas.

ok,

side mirrors can be made to do this, just need to tap into the switch with the window roll up module. unsure if you can make them fold out when car is started..maybe..gotta find something to tap into like the ignition or something?

have no idea about the boot business

Yeah you can do it. As already said you'd need another relay off the window circuit to close the mirrors switch. I had the circuit built for this for a few dollars but I sold the car before installing it.

I never bothered with an unfolding circuit because i figured i'd just do that myself but it sounds like it's doable as well.

You can move the boot release as it's just a long cable. Just remove it all together if you're worried about it.

Any chance of getting some info on the auto rollup kit? I have been trying to find one of these for my Stagea as my kids have never been in a car with 'lectic windows before and I am getting REALLY sick of having to restart the ignition (and turbo timer) every time I get out because one of them has not wound their bl00dy window up.

On the same topic, is it possible to turn the kit off? Like if you are parked up and you WANT the windows to be left partially down?

Any thoughts on removing the boot release? I would prefer a backup in case the electronic boot release stuffs up one day.

Newbie: The trunk kit that I got is a DEI module, you will have to ask someone if you can use it with your alarm.

It is essentially "plug and play" with the one I have, and the solenoid is fairly simple to install but you will have to check with someone that knows what they are talking about - if you want to buy it though do a search for DEI TRUNK RELEASE on ebay - mine didnt cost that much.

I am in two minds about the mirrors, am I becoming just too bloody lazy? hmmm!!

If it is a simple relay/circuit I might get it done, if it will cost more than about $40 its probably not worth the effort. The car is being pulled apart soon to be sound deadened and have the new stereo put in so I am trying to get as much stuff as i can out of the way at the same time.

I've got auto boot release as well and you can still open the boot manually via key or the release lever in the car?

Yes I know you can do that, but so can theives.

I am trying to make it harder for the wrong people to get into the boot, but still easy enough for me to get in there.

I have already taken the lock out of the boot, but the lever release in the car is still there.

I want a push button release on the remote and tossing up whether it is worth having the cable release re-located somewhere hidden in the car.

The worst part about it is that no matter what if they wan't it, they'll take it.. but its a great deterrant!

You'll need an alarm with enough aux outputs to hook up your window roll up and mirror fold or you can have them together, and another aux output for the boot... its all do-able just need to know what your doin lol... if your in Melb i can refer you to some really good car audio fitters..

Good luck dude!

Yeh i know that you can never make things unreachable. If they REALLY want something they can get it. But doesnt hurt to make it harder :)

I have enough outputs for the window rollup etc. I am in Sydney and Marty at FHRX suggested a guy for me to go to a while ago about a different matter, so i will tell him exactly what I want when i get things done.

Sometimes making it harder is not always better...the scumbags will just get pissed off and hack away at other parts of ur car making it an even costlier repair bill. Best deterent I have is in choosing where you park.

ok that is two different modules. windup is one and can be triggered off the door actuator. the fold can be done off a neg trigger. will take 2 relays and a couple of caps to do it.

removing ALL access to teh boot is a BAD idea. if it stuffs up then you CANNOT get in. best idea if you are that worried about it is to MOVE the mechanical release. put it in th arm rest in the centre console there is enough cable to do that.

who in sydney is doing the alarm? if its NOT alan or leon - worry..

what do you want to know about it?

on the second point yes it can be disabled - most have an inhibit input on them so its a case of putting a signal on it and they stop. the one I use does them one at a time.

that said if you wanted to ADD it to the car in standard form it can be done OFF THE STANDARD REMOTE!

if you are capable of doing the wiring I can expalin how.

Thanks for the advice Chris.

The main thing I want to know, is what do I ask for and where do I get one.

I am pretty capable when it comes to basic stuff like installing a stereo/amp/dvd player etc, and I am in the process of getting a Jaycar EBC kit together so it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Only problem I can forsee, is that I know bugger all about my fitted alarm, other than its brand name because apart from the siren under the bonnet and the mic for glass breakage, I am buggered if I can figure out where the rest has been installed. I do know that the heater core was replaced a while back so there is a good chance the person responsible has taken the opportunity to hide it waaaay up the back of the dash near the firewall. :wave:

I know its good for the security of the car, but it makes it a bit hard for me ATM.

Also, I don't actually have the standard remote, unless you are referring to the original key with the "lock" and "unlock" buttons on it (that I have never really used)

BUT only one window winds up at a time :) i was hoping that both would go up at once but first the passengers goes up then the drivers :)

Lol, you've dragging up a pretty old thread mate.

I know the thread starter has most likely solved the issue by now, but one problem I can see with taking out the boot lock and the wire release, what if you got a flat battery? I know the chances of running down tv battery that much is very unlikely, but it is possible. And being an R33, the battery is in the boot. So that's why i'd stay clear of something like that.

Just my 2c

some modules do one at a time some do all at a time. in your case -no.

      I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.

      This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.

      Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
