Hi guys I have a page guard alarm system in my car which i had installed shortly after purchasing the car and have not had any problems up untill now. The unit has a lcd (i think) pager remote which takes 1 AAA battery. This morning when i went to open the car, the battery in the pager had gone flat. Problem is i keep some spare batteries in the glove box incase one goes when i'm out somewhere.

So i had to open the car with the key - which made the alarm go off as expected, now usually i would then just replace the battery and stop the alarm by pushing one of the buttons on the pager - but it would not stop, i tried closing the doors, different batteries, kill switch, everything and the alarm would not disengage. It's like as if the alarm no longer corresponds with the remote / pager. Ususally when you disarm the alarm, the pager says 'disarm' then is shows a pic of a lambo with a moving red arrow to clarify that it has been dis-armed. When you press the button now the remote says 'arm' and has no follow up picture or anything. I ended up having to find the module for the system and dis-connect the main harness to turn it off... I know this sounds a bit technical but i was hoping there could be some alarm guru's out ther who could possibly shed some light on the situation.

Thanks guys

good you know where the module is :) go one better and take it out. that is a common problem with them. antenna dies of the unit s lose programming. if you have the instructions and the spare remote - rekey both of them to the unit.

I have intructuctions but only one remote. If i take the module out is ther anything i can do to try and fix it?

nope not without the other one. you need it to reset the unit.

Thanks for your help - can the unit be reset without too much difficulty? as in will i be able to take it to the guy who installed it and could he most likely fix this problem, or is my alarm totally shagged now?

had one of these on my r33. Shit alarm thats all i can say. Once it was raining heavily outside when i was driving the car, alarm started goin ape shit on the road. woudlnt respond to any buttons i was pushing . IT was like it was ignoring me haha. But anyhow pretty embaressing (people prob thought i was driving a stolen car lol) luckily it wasnt to far from home. A couple of other times in hot weather when i pushed the unlock door button the alarm woudlnt respond. My 2 cents

Oh that sucks, you know you get an alarm with all the bells and whistles and it's just got more sh#t that can go wrong with it. I just want a simple alarm and immobiliser no more of this pager and what not.

I do such a thing however you are in MLB and I'm not.

what you are REALLY after is a GSM paging unit with a decent alarm. that is the same idea has what you have and the insurance company will like it :happy:

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
