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.

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:

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)

      I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
