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

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
