WTF? i have appoligised for using that term, whats the problem? i said i will use the proper term next time, and i don't get on here and bag ppl for how they use certain terms. Get over it and talk about cars, i think thats wat this forum is about?

your apology included "what is the problem with the word......"

perhaps this is why a few people have a problem with it?

wow it looks like a pretty handy device.. considering the reaction to this topic i wonder why its relatively unheard of / why so many s2's didnt come with a remote when imported :domokun:

Edited by Brycey

I have a S2 but cant see any special "magic" button near the accelerator. There are a whole heap of wires to the right of the accelerator - possibly the thing has been hidden or disabled? Or was it just a factory option?

Had me thinking, how many "magic" buttons can a car have? So many little tricks with our awesome wagons :domokun:

Those are all fine, it was a word that is mainly used as a racial derogitory expression of the japanese race.

ANYWAY, Back on topic, my S1 doesnt have it, and I should know, I took my whole freaken dash off!

Im under the impression it is illegal to have one in ur car?

Or is it okay as long as you have a failsafe making sure your car is in neutral (or park)?

I know friends who have them on their motorbikes due to having dry sumps etc.... but are you allowed to have them under ADR?

PS Bloody hope mine has one...

Guess its like the xenons. If i buy a car and it turns out its got em, i figure ive paid for them and i want the choice of using them. Its a risk i'd happily take. Not that it is cold enough here in sunny QLD to warrant needing to warm ur car up. Getting ur air con running for a few minutes before u get in, maybe...?

Do the stageas with this remote start come with a failsafe fitted?

You can start the car remotely (from up to 300m away), but the park brake must be on and be in park. But as soon as you open the door, the engine shuts down.

Stagecoach, if your car in fact does have one, you will need to have the fob (see various pics in thread) & the ppl who fit the mandatory immobiliser for compliance will no doubt make it inoperable (whether intentional or not) So chances are pretty thin.

Good luck anyways!

Is an immobiliser fitment mandatory??? In all states??? Would like to find out b4 my car is ready to come home!!! I asked the shop in Brissie and they said there was no immob fitted and that it would have to be fitted after compliance was approved and car was picked up... know any sites which list what cars, or even S2 Stageas have to have done during compliance. They don't even change the oil anymore!!!

Its funny what you find in the cars you buy.

I have an R30 with a neat little fuelump cut out switch, hidden away under the carpet.

Also my S1 came with a piece of wire hanging off the fuse behind the coin tray. Who knows what that was for.

On the subject of racial slurs, I'm a Pommie Bastard and you can call me anything, but dont call me late for breakfast. LO F#^%#L

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
