Hi Guys,

I have a Mongoose m80G in my r33 and randomly the car wont acknowledge the remote. The remote works, the light flashes, but the car doest arm or disarm which is abviously a real bloody dilema! Doesnt matter whether im point blank right next to or infront of the car it can take 10mins before it wants to work.

95% of the time it works, but this 5% is incredibly annoying!

If the battery were on its way out, then why does the light still illuminate? And why does it work from 20 meters away at other times? Battery as the answer doesnt make sense in this scenario.

Well it does make sense because it requires significantly less power to turn on the tiny LED on the remote than it does to send a signal to the receiver in the car to disarm the alarm.

As Chris said, do you have the other remote? Does it do the same thing?

Exactly, not mention batteries are fickle creatures at the best of times. They're not some energy bucket that drains with perfect voltage from top to bottom, but a chemical reaction that gets more and more sporadic the lower in charge (less chemicals to react) they go. Not to mention the effect of heat and other things.

The effect of heat.... hmm interesting! Might be something there...

Reason why batteries doesnt sound right to me, and im not arguing ill get them replaced to be safe, is i can stand 20m away and arm then disarm over and over and over to my hearts content 95% of the time. Anyway, replace batteries and see how she goes!!

*Shrugs* heat isn't that big a deal though.

It's possible it's a problem contact on the switch of the remote. But, given what you've described, it's far more likely to just be the battery. If the LED is lighting up, and nothing is happening, then the switch contacts aren't the issue and you can put pretty good money on it being the battery.

I have same problem..... from what ive figured out and have heard is that something causes interference with the remote signal to your alarm....

have you noticed that it always happens in the same spots??

With me it never works in the same spot/section of the coles car park i go to LoL!!

i doubt its the battery but then again could be weak signal due to battery running out

but i tried changing battery once and went to the dreaded part of the car part and yet again no worky!! ;)

Hmm check the antenna be sure its connected to the wire properly on the brain if its mounted on the floor your range is smaller than if its mounted on the dash (Dont tell us where it is), Try the second remote if you still have one.

hey yeah it could just be this. With my mums old car(96' Ford Tauras) it would'nt work In front of a shop which had a big powerbox thing on a pole out front but it worked everywhere else.

Hi mate,

Its true it could be the remote battery but just try the other spare remote, if this doesnt work as well chances are its more a problem with the system then the remotes, as chance of both remotes not work as same time because of the battery is slim.

I am more inclined to think that its more to do with the system earth. If after driving and hitting bumps etc the earth may move depending on where is was mount, causing the system not to respond. If this is the case though the LED on the dash would not be flashing.

If the dash LED is still flashing and your remotes work fine ie their lights come on when pushed, chances are its some sort of interferance or it may be that the units antenna is not working consistantly. If this is so, then yes it maybe effect by the heat in the car.

If you keep having problems give me a call I own Platinum Car Security, I can have a look at it for you if your in the Sydney area. Otherwise may be able to advise you over the phone

Kind Regards,

Daniel Gardener

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
