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.

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.

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.

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
