i had my car locked the other day but with the windows down (force of habit to lock the car) and realised that i had forgoten something so i reached in and unlocked the door grabbed my stuff and all of a sudden the horn started blarring at me. scared the bejesus out of me. has anybody come across this before in one of there cars. the importer that i got the car of didnt even realise it had an alarm. i have found a little switch on the d/s kick panel that turns of the flashing led on the dash but i havent gotten around to testing if it has anything to do with the actual alarm.

Has anyone else got the 'NISSAN SECURITY' arial/reciever unit that sits in front of the rear view mirror. I have and i dont know what its purpose it?

Not sure if this is related or not (dont want to hijack your thread)

Hmm yes I do, I thought it was a GPS antenna for my xanavi unit? Either that or something for the Toyota Electronic Toll Controller unit that's been installed...

This little jigger is the antenna for the remote starter. It flashes when the alarm is armed. If you don't have the factory remote or the compliancer fitted an immobiliser it is practically useless except for looking pretty.

Dave, the Factory GPS antenna sits under the dash just in front of the clock. If you had the ETC toll collector unit, you would know as it is pretty obvious.

Is it true that the Mongoose M80G will function in this way ie. off the Nissan key remote?

Not in my case - I've got the Nissan factory remote key, but I leave it at home and just use the copy I had cut, as it saves me from carrying around the bulky key AND the remote for the alarm.

I think the issue is that the Mongoose uses a rolling code remote, but the factory key doesn't.

Thanks :devil: Yeah I have the ETC toll collector unit, it's a big box taped to the side of the centre console, and when you push buttons on it it says things to you in a female Japanese voice...

uh huh "Insert your ETC card please". Pretty easy to remove. they normally patch it into your cig lighter power.

ahh I wondered what it was she was saying lol

Not patched to ciggie lighter for me though, was a whole massive loom in there with about 10 metres of cable, cable tied up, with 3 wires, one of which was earth, and a whole custom short loom with a false plastic plug in the end that went nowhere... I'll try to get a pic of it all its crazy

sorry to bring up an old tread but i just bought a S2 stagea and its got the thing infront of the mirror and its got a retro looking remote thing as well.. i'll post a pic when i get home.. its got start/stop - check and alarm set on the unit. can't get it too start though, the dash lights come on but go off straight away.

yeah got the same things, cept mine is on what looks like mini mobile phone.

have you got a turbo timer installed ?

cause once i had my tubo timer installed, i can no longer use the remote start. but now if i push check it would tell me that the engine is off, temp inside the car and if its locked or not.

now with the turbo timer installed i push CHECK it will tell me that but the mirror's will fold out , the stereo will come on and the lights on the dash will come on also, then the turbo timer will switch on for 30seconds and everything will shut down.

so basically my factory alarm key from nissan is useless as it only locks and activates the alarm. and some times it doesnt de-activate and im left in a very messed up situation at shopping centers !! so its in no use anymore, just using the key with lock/unlock on it now.

hope that helps to your question :S

here are some photos of the remote unit and the reciever.. i played around with the remote and i can't get it to do much at all.. it beeps and the lights come on but thats about it. when you press the start button it beeps then the dash lights come on for about 1 sec then go off again. p.s i don't have a turbo timer installed

wow that looks different.

mine is the same setup with the buttons but i have a lcd screen on mine . . . . i once started my car from about 250meters away. i was on a hill though in my truck on a cold day. thought what the hell, got to my car engine was warm, had the heat on in the morning so it came on also, aswell as my seat warmers, bloody good idea. only thing is, when i open the door it shuts down. . . like a theft thing i guess

i have that remote and the thing behind the rear view mirror. but mine does nothing, i think during compliance the power was cut to it. there are some weird boxes under the steering wheel and some funny wiring thats been cut off

    • 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.
