hey all,

in a little bit of a pickle at the moment,

on tuesday i installed my new stereo in my 33, all was going well, got everything working fine, turned the alarm back on and pressed the unlock button on my key and it beeped at me 8 times in a row, which is weird cause its never done that after ive disconnected and reconnected the battery, thought nothing of it, went to start the car, now this is where im lost, the motor turns over perfectly, fuel pump is pumping fuel but the thing just wont fire. i dont know if ive tripped the alarm or something, i just dont understand why it wont start as the only thing i changed was the stereo.

if anyone has a similar experience or can shed some light on my situation please do, i think ive maybe tripped the immobiliser somehow which is stopping the thing from starting, last night i disconnected the battery, turned the ignition to start and pumped the throttle a few times hoping that it will reset the comp. ill try starting it again tonight but if that doesn't work ill be calling an auto eleky, but hopefully someone here can help me out

cheers

mitch

PS: mods if you think this should be somewhere else please move it but i thought it relates to stereo and alarms

lol, whoops, i knew it was one of the two

cant remember the alarm type, think its fast track or something like that, ill have a look when i get home tonight, i figured it wasn't getting any spark as everything else is working properly, is there an easy way to fix it? or do i need to take it to a pro?

hey all,

got it sorted, ended up being a couple of blown fuses, dont know why i didn't check them in the first place. so its all fixed to take up tot he exhaust shop yay

now ive got another problem, Dead Battery lol, doesn't seem to want to hold charge now so looks like ill be forking out for a new one.

more good news, this stereo sounds awsome, so loud and clear.

thanx for your help

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
