I hope someone might be able to give me some ideas on what to check.

I disconnected the battery to wire in a 12v and Gnd for an elec boost controller on my R33 GTS-T. Once i finished i connected it back up and the alarm went off thats fine. But i tried to use the remote to unlock it and turn off the alarm no go. I turned off the sound manually then tried to start the car no go. So i figured ok the car is immobolised.

Called the ppl up that put in the secuirity and they told me a way to by pass the immoboliser so i did that, still no go. He said to check all the fuses and i have checked all the ones i know about. Couple in the boot engine bay and drivers footwell.

All the normal electrics are on like headlights and dash but the windows and audio which didnt work untill it was unlocked are not however working. The LED for the Alarm is also not flashing at all, which isnt right cos it would flash when it was unlocked or locked before. when i put in the key and turn it over i cant hear any noise.

Is there anything else i can check? Hidden fuses, relays i need to check?

I know it does still sound like it could be the immobiliser but he assured me that if i shorted the correct wires behind the ignition back to there original places it would bypass the alarm and allow it to start. And the answer would be no to getting someone out to look at it at this stage :S

So you have removed the alarm unit?

Yeah the guy that installed it gave me a way to bypass it so i guess that cant be it.

Try checking all fuses with a test light, some fuses look fine but are blown.Immobilisers generally have fuses close by the unit, follow all wiring related to it and check fuses.

Thanks for the suggestions

There are a few fuses near the alarm i have checked them and all the ones in the driver kick panel, engine bay and in the boot.

There also seems to be no electricity getting to the dash status lights or the security system :S what else could cause this?

    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version.
