Hi Guys,

Atm my r33 has no alarm Im looking for a good alarm with remote start, so i can start my car few minutes before work and everything will be warmed up and ready to go. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with skylines and remote start is there any brand that i should go for ? and anything reason why i shouldnt buy this ?

Cheers from Nathan.

i don't think its very good at all...warming up your car on idle for a long time isn't good for your engine anyway. should warm your car up by driving gently and conservatively till your car reaches nominal operating temp.

i have the viper

with remote start

i like it and it is a good peice of gear

Yeah im getting few mixed comments about this alarm, it does seem like a good alarm has remote start and the turbo timer would be useful.

it does not actually have a turbo timer

the instaler can integrate one into it for you

i was told it had one but after it was intalled i was advised the instaler can integrate one into it for you

wtf

oh well

remote start is just a cool gimmick

the secrity fetures are what you want to buy an alarm for ....right?

no.

look at the 480xv.

How much do those go for ? The VIPER 791XV i can get for $305 on ebay delivered from the states.

EDIT:

When im ready ill go down and check out the situation at a proper store and get them to fit it at the same time, Also heard the Viper alarms arnt Aussie standard approved so thats gay.

get a mongoose m80. auto start are pointless in my opinion and just increase the price. imobilisers, black wiring, sensors and installation should be what your spending your money on.

The whole point of the auto start was because i heard that you have to warm the car up for the turbo before you move, but seems like this isnt the case if you dont thrash it all the way up the street. My intentions were positive but it is just a cool gimmick like that dude said. Just looked at the mongoose m80 its cool cheers man.

not to mention if you buy from ebay its not covered for warranty either.

the one you really need to look at is the 480xv as it IS Oz stds and has two way paging.

chuck the model number into google. its not a DIY alarm

as for the 791 - if you drive a manual car I can steal your car with the alarm engaged!

You dont need to warm a car up, if you drive gently while the car is below normal running temp, you wont have an issue.

As for the remote start, you do realise insurance more than likely wont cover a car fitted with such a device, and it's also against ADR, and makes your car defectable (more defectable).

The other thing to consider is that remote start alarms jsut make the car easier to steal .

Thief finds remote start module, triggers it and car starts..

No need for hot wiring.

It would be like having a guard dog with no teeth.

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
