Push Button Start?

[GuestyR33]

Hey peoples.

i wasn't sure where to post this question, so sorry if it aint supposed to be in here lol.

anyhow, i'm always getting attention from cops in my r33 even when i'm obeying every

road rule. its really been getting to me lately so i've decided to convert my skyline into

a track only car. no more street use. well maybe for the odd sau cruise lol.

With that in mind, there's quite a few things i'm wanting to do to my car. Unfortunately

im having trouble with something, as always. haha

I wanna delete my key. install a pivot push button start on it.

usually with a push button start though u still use ur key, turn it to on, then push the button.

to me this seems stupid. lol. i'd rather no key at all.

Can someone please inform me how to do this...?

today i unplugged the back on my ignition assembly where the key goes in and tried to start it without

my key. kind of worked. well i got the car to try kick over but couldn't.

i was also able to get accessories to work. but i couldn't power "on"

when using the key, turning the car to "on" activates the fuel pump.

without the key i couldn't manage to do this. i'm stumped as to why not.

My assumption is, if i can work that problem out. i can install a push button start without a key.

If someone could solve this problem for me it'd be much appreciated.

Regards,

Guesty

howd you try to start it without the key ?

when you turn the key to its different points, eg, "acc" and "on" you also send 12v power down your "acc" line and your "on" line. what you need to do is figue out which wires these are and apply a good 12v to them before your car will start. without powering these lines you ecu will not power up along with everything else needed to run your car.

ussually people would use a good on/off switch to set the car to "on" and then a push button to crank the engine.

Sounds like you'll need to power up ACC and ON first, then power the START wire.

The best method to determine how to tackle this problem is to use a multimeter and measure the pins on the key barrel as you turn the key from OFF to START.

ok i worked it out. lol

thanks for your input.

i'll be installing the switch next weekend if i get around to it lol

i just took my car for a spin without a key.

kinda scary that its so easy to steal our cars. made sure my alarm / immobiliser was fitted back on properly. lol

cheers
