Hi I'm new to this web site as i have just brought a r33. Just wondering if anyone knew about this system as i'm about to buy it. if anyone has one that would be great to know. Its a SPY 2 Two Way LCD Car Alarm with Remote Start Engine System

Thanks

Cheap crap from ebay buy something with aussie standards, I just got a Mongoose M80Am. Dont worry about lcd remotes, remote engine starts there just gimmicks look for 3 point imobalizer, all black wiring and that aussie standard for insurance purposes.

Thanks for the fast replay i will have a look around. Do you know any place with a good price?

Yeah mate just look around, do i know a place ? would help if you had where you lived and for a good price the basic price alarm are like $400 installed then with that you can hook up extras like dual microwave sensor, tilt sensor, glass break sensor you can do it over a period of time or if you have the money just blow it at once :D

i know a fool that got an ebay alrm with engine start function in an auotmatic, installed it himself bla bla bla, long story short he left the car in drive with the hand brake half up, started the car next morning and it rolled through his garage door into the house..... useless things unless you have half a brain and wire the thing properly lol

Sorry I live in Adelaide

Hey Adelaide boy!!! Where in Adelaide, Im also in Adelaide.

HAHAHAHAHHHA Nice one.

Live in the city so close to everything not far from the hill or the beach.

The guy i was told to use who is my Skylines importers (Iron Chef) brother in-law, He will go to your house and install the alarm in your drive way. PM me if your interested ill give you his mobile number.

I still have this for sale if your interested....

My friend actually has one of these 'spy' branded alarms and it works surprisingly well despite what most migh think. remote start and turbo timer works perfectly too afaik, i was almost going to buy one but i am not sure about the immobilser side of things with this unit....

hey dude i boughted skyline r33 series 2 and it has a remote start but its not working the previews owner told me something wrong with the wire's any one knows about remote start pls help me thanks advance

had it in my both my previous cars, worked flawlessly without a single fault.

never installed the remote start as it was pointless but the remote is a handy thing when your alarm goes off it vibrates.

My mate hasn't had any problems either. Any idea how many points of immobilization this kit has? and if it meets australian standards? (for insurance purposes)

    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity.
    • 100% the factory sender is tapered, that is how it seals (well, that and teflon paste or tape)
    • Thanks folks - I've saved a few links and I'll have to think of potential cable/adapters/buying fittings. First step will be seeing if I can turn the curren abortion of a port into something usable, then get all BSPT'y on it. I did attempt to look at the OEM sender male end to see if it IS tapered because as mentioned you should be able to tell by looking at it... well, I don't know if I can. If I had to guess it looks like *maybe* 0.25 of a mm skinnier at the bottom of the thread compared to where the thread starts. So if it is tapered it's pretty slight - Or all the examples of BSPT vs BSPP are exaggerated for effect in their taper size.
    • Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!
    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
