Hi Mate, auto starts are suppose to be ilegal or some shit, but i have one, it only works from the button.

My allarm need the car to be in Neutral and hand brake on before it activates. When activated, if the key is not inserted in 15 seconds, or the brake or clutch or gear pressed/selected, without the cey the car shuts off, goes into alarm mode and won't let you start it unitll you desable the impboliser.

It is great for freaking people out. My also has the output to turn a heater on but the R33's don't have a secondary heater input.

The alarm allows up to 8 minuts of preheat time, but i haven't changed this yet.

ALSO if the car is started ad droven away by somone, if they are within range, the alarm will switch the motor off from the key aswell.

It's more wenk factor, but essentially it was there so we made it all work.

Not sure what brand mine is, and i do agree it is ilegal and if stuffed up, propably bad too, like starting in gear and so forth.

I'm not sure about the easie to get arround part. My alarm has 3 points of imobolisation and 3 poits of auto start, esentially making it 6 poits, as eaven without autostart, all the correct points need to be deactivated to start the car.

paolo,

on auto cars I'm not biased - I WATCHED a MANUAL VEHICLE start and PIN a 5 y/o girl TO A WALL - I have a REASON for stating what I do. I was not responsible for the work on that car but I knew FULL well how it happened. it had a makeshift neutral safety switch that failed - car was IN GEAR and it started.

they are good for warming up or cooling cars off on seasonal times but not much else. I see it as a 'look at me ' thing.

on my mates car he hit the remote start button, car kept on cranking but wouldn't start, we walked over to see what was going on and BANG? it backfired from all the fuel, back out the intake and blew the side out of his custom plenum.

i've also heard of them doing damage to starter motors.

the car cant move when its activated in gear..

it will just stall? Chris?

Hey...........

The only car that will not move is an automatic or a car with a neutral detect switch.

Every other car will start and move or atleast jump then stall

Dont kid yourself..

further proves your 1 track minded views on everything in a negative fashion. list some pros.

1 track mind?

I thought he just specified it can be DEADLY if not wired in correctly or if there is a malfunction. What pros are you looking for when the damn thing is a potential death trap?

And how do you people think a remote start actually starts the car? Well let a professional explain it to you.

In order to crank and start a vehicle you need to have 12V across the ignition wire, and 12v for a short period around 1-3 seconds on the starter wire. Once you have these two, the starter will turn the engine over, and the ignition will ignite the fuel. CAR STARTS.

Now what makes you think that your car is now not easy to steal? Where do you pick up your ignition and starter points? AFTER YOUR IMMOBILISER, otherwise its not going to work. So you have just given a thief an easy way to HOTWIRE YOUR CAR just by looking at your aftermarket wiring. Your immobiliser and your remotes are now useless. All someone has to do is crank the car start and drive off. Your remote which claims a KM distance has actually just been diminished to 200 metres due to buildings and trees and what not because it work on an FM band.

Dont kid yourself there is no PRO'S to a remote start alarm.

      Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.

      Alright I understand. The most likely case is probably gonna be that I just keep the OEM unit in the car as long as it works.
