Hey guys, when i bought the car it had an aftermarket alarm system in it, Dont know what brand or anything, the only thing it said on the original Remote which allowed me to Remote Start the car had a logo called " MANNIX ".

Now that funky looking remote, ive lost it. And just left with this second remote, rather plain looking, but it worked fine for a week after i lost the original one.

Now suddenly it doesnt even want to lock my car or open it anymore?

I thought the battery was dead, but changed that aswell. Still no luck, sometimes it might arm it, dis arm it.. same cycle 4 times. Then stop working again.

I have no idea whats wrong with it, and hate to leave my car un alarmed. My immoboliser still works though, it comes on automatically after 1 minute. And that has a seperate plastic key thing to disarm the immoboliser.

Now, i dont know what to do.

Can anyone help. :D

when you open the remotes case, is there a little pot you can turn? if so, try turning it a little bit in one directions to see if it starts working, if not try it in the other direction. the frequency might be off just a tad.

Im gonna go home tonight, goto late night, then come back and take a pic of the inside of the remote. It doesnt look like there was a dial or anything i could turn inside of it. But under my steering column, i have a box. It has 2 dials on it. and 2 lights.

I'll take a pic of it aswell maybe that will help?

Coz i accidentally turned one of the dials.

      (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.

      Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things

      Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
