Currently my car has un aftermarket alarm/immodiliser fitted with remote lock/unlocking.

For no apparent reason, now when i press the button, the siren beeps but the doors dont unlock? same goes for locking it. So i'm having to press the button to disarm the alarm, then use the key to unlock the car, which is annoying.

the central locking still works manually, when unlocking/locking with the key it operates both door locks & the passanger door lock still locks at about 25km/h

any idea whats wrong?

it did this to me about 12months ago, but after about a month it just started working again? Now its been more like 6 months so I need to look into fixing it.

any help very much appretiated thanks

Hey mate,

you most likely have an after market actuator in the drivers door to trigger the central locking from the alarm.

alarm ->actuator -> factory wiring -> passenger door

check out the wiring to the actuator or take the door trim off the drivers door and replace it.

Most likely it will cost you 10 bucks for the parts.

Unlikely it's a problem with wiring.

The alarm's actuators piggyback onto the originals, and are locked in place by a grub screw. Sometimes the screw comes loose, and the actuator simply slides along the factory rod.

Re-align the alarm actuator on the factory rod, tighten the grub screw, and Robert's your father's brother.

This happend to me...I have a Mongoose Immobiliser.

It only happend I after I degreased the engine and hit the engine bay with a pressure washer at Car lovers. After a week it started to work again.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
