well i finally bought my car after 5 months of waiting to import etc i got one from here

nice 180sx 95 model with afew light mods =0

so its 10 at night and iam leaving my girlfriends place

so i say good by give her a kiss and goto press the disarm button on the remote but i dont! i press the remote start button by accident

my car starts up and starts moving preety quickly might i ad.

so my g/f goes OMG ! THE CAR so i start running for it try to open the doors they are lockedd

drag onto the car

dosnt stop

so the car manages to get half of it self onto the lawn of the foot path missing 5 trees by 10 cm

gets off the lawn 1 meter till it hits the main rd

i manage to press the right button while draagging onto it and running aftter it and it stops

1 meter from the main rd with about 10 cars camming its way

all i can sy is thank you GOD!

THANK YOU SOO MUCH!

taking it tommrow to take off remote start =)

after that i noticed when i was driving i didnt pay much attention to it when i first bought the car

but when i was driving home after the great incident i was checking to see if my wheel alinment was straght so i put the steering wheel straght and it went straght but i noticed that when i was driving the steering wheel wasnt actully perfectly straght it was slighly to the right a fraction.

so if i did put it dead straght it would go towards the left a little bit.

but if i left go of the wheel and let it go straght the car goes straght but the steering wheel is actually a fraction to the right.

now i wanted to ask ? 1 was this already there and i didnt notice it from the start i think so =)

2. is it the steering wheel, if it was taken out and put back in wasnt put in the exact same spot? (its a standard steering wheel with airbag)

3. could of m car going on the footpath a little bit put out the wheel alinment and steering alinment =)

let me know what ya think guys thanks =-)

Firstly, DON'T LEAVE THE CAR PARKED IN GEAR. Well you can, but you risk that happening, and you can't use a turbo timer.

Secondly, get a wheel and steering alignment done, it'll fix up that steering wheel.

i fitted a remote start to my car and the guy who fitted it made a point of talkin me into buyin a neutral safety switch cost $50 from autobarn basicly if the car in gear it wont start. plus on my alarm system i need to have the h/brake up so im protected 2 ways!! and its already payed for its self last week i left the car in gear after movin it a few meters forgot that it was in gear and tryed to start it by remote all i can say is im glad i got it and payed the $50

and it works!!

lmao.... u ricers and ur remote starts :)

for gods sake whats so hard about turning the damn thing on with the key? lol

anyways... u are definately god damn lucky :( funny as hell story tho (only cause it didnt end in tragedy :))

reminds me of the person who went to Jeep and got it installed in their brand new Jeep... did the same thing... left it in gear but it ended up plowing into a colid concrete wall rofl.

hahaa very lucky Dragon18! :)

i don't really get this remote start thing...i mean, why does the car take off if you've only turned the engine on and no one's touching the accellerator? :confused:

am i missing something....

hmm, blame the blonde hair :(

It's not rocket science, get in your car, stick it in first and crank it over (handbrake off, feet off the pedals) The car will lurch forward and start and travel forward at idle speed. BTW an auto will not start in gear, they have a neutral (or park) safety switch standard.

hahahah thats funny shit

my 33 had that until i lent it to a mate. told him ten times not to park it in gear

he came back the next day with a new front bar form me lol

parked it behind a car and auto started it and it drove into the back of the next car

my remote start if set in for a manual car, will only let you start it if it knows the car is in netural. The way it does this is - after the turbo timer has shut the car down, if a door is opened, it will not work until the car is runnning again.. this just means that if someone opens your car and puts it in gear without u realising, then u wont start it in gear. However, mine is set for auto, so I can start whenever - i never leave my cars in gear.

I'd disable that man.. sounds dangerous! remote start is illegal in VIC.. basically law in VIC is if you're not in the car in can't be running - yes b.s. but true.. That means a turbo timer is also not allowed here either unless u sit in the car while it times down. Useless facts of the day

I'm always tripping my alarm on/off switch in my pocket.. so you wanna watch it with something like a remote start.

hey Dragon18, good to hear that you finally got the 180 u've wanted for soo long!

but didn't u get one imported thru Craig? i think i remember u putting pictures up about it a little while ago.. :confused:

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
