I am in serious trouble need urgent help =( alarm stuffed my car


Recommended Posts

Ok peeps, I know that there are already alot of threads on alarms and stuff but this is kinda more serious. Seems like I got the Nemesis car alarm and it has seemed to 'STUFFED' my electronic auto transmission' on the same night that it was installed. I have retured to the ppl that have sold the alarm to me and they have denied everything that the alarm has stuffed my car. I then went to look for help

1. Auto transmissions places- They all say that my transmission is fine and the computer is fine also (So the alarm is stuffing my car while I'm driving)

2. Went to Nissan, and they weren't able to find the problem

3. Asked a alarm person (DJ Lethel mentioned him) and he does't know how to look @ the alarm :P

4. I also asked Consumer Affairs for help and they told me to get a second opinion from a alarm specialist and then comfronting Brant Car Alarm again.

So I really need your help guys, if u show me a good place or person that knows alot about alarms or know what I caan do I will be really greatful.

yes they have disconnect the alarm, but it's still giving me the problem..A auto transmission specialist told me that the alarm could be interfering with the computer in the car (maybe they put it too close?) anyway I hope u guys can help me. I dunno what to do now...

Alarm module should be in the engine bay... way out of the way of the ECU - I doubt it should be interefering with your ECU which is in the passenger footwell, however they may have stuffed other incinary wiring during the install (sounds like)

Thats as long as they have done a decent install.. it sounds like they have stuffed something up. Any reasonable place should offer to fix the problem themselves. Threaten legal action if they don't offer to fix it - any professional install should come with a lifetime guarantee as well.

well his problem is not exactly the same as my problem but if his gonna get the alarm..I wouldn't recommend the installer for the Brant alarm 'Sam'.

Anyway, I'm gonna give em a call tomorrow and c if they wil remove the alarm for me.

What exactly is the auto trans doing? Not shifting? Shifting wrong? It might be just a coincidence that it happened at the same time as the alarm going in, or maybe the installer accidentally knocked something (like a plug or sensor)? Don't forget that, to run the wiring for the alarm, they usually run them right next to the factory wiring loom, so potential for installation issues is right up there...

car shifts really hard into gear 2 then goes up to 6000 rpms to change into gear 3 and I'm not even pushing hard on the accerlerator.

the installer came when I complained about the problem to them and they removed the cable to the alarm, but the car was still doing it.

I'm gonna give a diagnostic test on the car tomorrow morning.

hey leon,

i had a thread bout some issues i been having with my auto, you replied there also 'auto issue' now that ive read this thread something has got me concerned, maybe its just a coincidence but i also have a brant alarm.

just wondering if you ever got this sorted out at all, and if so what was the prob ?

cheers mate

shannon

yeah I got it all sorted out...those damn idiots dont even know how to hook the thing up properly and 1 of the wires was f***ing my transmission.....I wasted sooo much time with that issue and got nothing out of it... I will never recommend anyone to using Brant. Also their installer is a idiot. Forgot his name though, but he was around the west area as well

Fat guy called Sam? He has fuct my doors as well. Basically, if i try to open the door while locked, it won't open when I unarm it. Also, I can't lock the drivers door as well. That guy is a twat. My auto keeps slipping out of overdrive now too, although i think it was doing that before too.

f*** man, yeah! Thats him..his really bad and a wanker as well...when did u put your alarm in? I dunno how they got such a idiot to do the installs for Brant.

    • 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.
