Ok so I totally know nothing about what im about to ask, and that is why I would like to know everyones oppinion.

My Dad works at repco and some customer and him were talking about my car (Dads proud of his little girls car lol) and dad brought up about the increasing number of thefts of skylines latley. This customer told him that under the bonnet of the car is a green fuse that controls the power to everything and on removal of this the car has no power source to start and thats what they do to keep there car safe!!

So whats the go with this? is it good bad or stupid, does it stuff anything up or dissable things?

:thumbsup: Jasmin.

Most likely true but.. Go for a 3 point alarm immobiliser at the minimum these days. Sadly these shifty characters don't need to start your car to take it, just a tow truck, or tilt tray truck. They smash the steering wheel lock(ignition barrel) and steer the car onto the tilt tray. Bye car.

Full insurance, immobiliser, and watch where you park!

Cheers

Interested to know where this fuse is, pics? so the alarm/immob still works yeah?

i take the that fuse out when i got shops i have full alarm system but can never be too safe :thumbsup: and yes cuts any power to ignition and leaves alarm fully armed!

Ok so its a good idea then?

I doubt someone will load my car on a truck while in a busy shopping centre and at night its asleep in a locked up garage.

If the alarm is still active its even better, Could someone discribe to me where this is and how to do it and all that stuff for myself and others??

:( Thanks guys. Jasmin.

well think about it jasmine... who would expect it?

park your car on the street near rundle mall, some big truck comes along and starts loading your car up, some guy says "Hey what you doing?" and they just say, "towing, its parked illegally." no one would care...

get an alarm..

umm just pointing out that the ppl takin the skylines most prob look on here an now carry a wide rang of fuses for skylines, they took out of the other skylines they stole the other week.

i got few tricks on mine it ant goin no were. straight throw exhaust for the win wakes everyone up, works in favour next doors always come out an look an make sur its me driven. also quick release steering wheel seen couple skylines in the city with em not bad idea ether

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
