Hey guys,

Here is a photo of my keys:

gallery_43966_2333_53895.jpg

The top button unlocks the doors and turns off the immoboliser, but the bottom does nothing. I was wondering, is it possible to make this button do something? I was thinking maybe turn neons on/off, turn engine on/off, headlights, maybe even open the boot or bonnet. Is this possible? Or does it have to live the rest of its life lonely

Thanks,

Rhys

How mechanical am I? Well I'm a mechanics apprentice, so I'd say yeh, sor sure. And now that I've just got my licence, I'm willing to drive any where! I really want this to work, mainly because it'd be cool to show off to my mates. How easy is this to do? A write-up or any information would be appreciated.

ok so you know enough to be dangerous :D

go to a wrecker grab an electric release from a late 90s magna - cable and all.

wire a relay off the CH2 output on the alarm (alarm is -ve trigger.) to fire the solenoid

disconnect the manual release and put the electric one in place

done.

wow, thought it would be more complicated than that! A few questions, where would my alarm be hidden? and does the relay come with everything from the Magna, or do I have to buy that seperate? I'll post up some pictures/videos/how tos when I get this done.

std 5 pin relay- get them anywhere. since you are in a wrecker grab one from a VK-VS commodore.

alarm is probably under the drivers dash. black box that has dynamco on it.

I had a look around at 3 wreckers today, would have been 5 but they were closed :-(, but couldn't find any. I might have to buy a whole Magna boot just to get it. I'm pretty annoyed that I couldn't find any today, but I'll have a look during the week.

its on the later ones. look in the glovebox for a boot button. from there rip the passenger rear panels out in the boot (where the antenna is.) and grab the actuator and cable attached to it. grab all the snaps as well.

Talked to the guy at the Misubishi Wreckers and he told me the Commodore one would be better. It works with a cable, so I dont have to remove the manual boot release for this to work. I have the release solenoid, do I need anything else to install it? I'll be doing it next week end, so wish me luck!! Here is what I bought, from a VZ Commodore:

I'm mounted the solenoid and it will work fine. Now I have hit another snag. I can't find my immoboliser anywhere!! I have pulled my dash apart and looked everywhere around the drivers side and middle of the dash. The passengers side is just aircon stuff and the glove box. Where else can I look? I looked under the bonnet as well, but not surprisingly I didnt find anything. Any help on this would be really appreciated. Once I have found it, it should be a down hill run from there. This mod is a lot easier than I thought!

I cant arm/disarm the immoboliser without the doors locking/unlocking. I waited for it to time out, but still the only sound I could hear was the drivers side door. And it isnt in there, obviously, the trim has been taken off a number of times. Any other ideas? The mechanic at work suggested behind the kick panel, I'll try that tomorrow and see how I go.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
