Can't Open Bonnet Can't Start Car - Clifford Alarm

This is a long shot but perhaps someone knows. My car from Japan came with a clifford G5 alarm,

and the compliance shop can (they said) unlock/lock arm/disarm it etc, but the problem is the hood

(bonnet) release lever is not connected, and he said the engine hood has a solenoid. They can't open it.

Also, the car doesn't start, it cranks but doesn't catch. The battery was flat when it arrived but that

has been fixed, obviously.

At this point they are stuck and I don't want them to break anything to open the bonnet. Anyone

know anything we may have missed? Can an engine scan tool be attached anyway without access

to the engine bay (just to see why it doesn't start?)

nissan consult can be used from teh cabin if you ca get a hold of it

check for error codes from the std ECU - search

without knowing how the popper on teh bonnet is hooked up, its hard to suggest anything other than try to get power to it manually.

is the car in brisbane?

if so I'll sort it for you. G5 isn't that bad to work on. if the car wont start there is a good chance the alarm is on and it has cut the fuel.

I did a 34 NUR today. nice car.

We got it figured it turned out to be double-click clifford button then hold down unlock or something complicated like that..

but the car still doesn't catch, so now the guy is gonna try the scan tool on the port.. hopefully the computer says something..

If he can't get it today I may take you up on that (I'll pay) its in brisbane. Not a nur, however, an r-tune.

I'm due to see the car on monday anyway. I'll tackle the rest of it then - ring me. I have a few options I'd like to go over with you regarding that car.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
