Isola you putting a remote start alarm system on your car ? If so, do you know where the relay is so that the car doesn't start in gear ?

*end serious note back to reality*

oh look a duck.

nah, no remote start for me :D I wanted a remote start alarm, but really just needed an alarm in and going to insure the car. Kinda just planned on keeping the mongoose for a while and changing over down the track. Kinda wish I had have just gone with the one I wanted from the start now though. To answer your question - just leave it in neutral all the time like I do :)

my serious question - does your remote start work when the steering lock is on?

*general ramblings and suggestions*

At this point in time, I highly doubt the boot an bonnet pins are wired up/even installed. Figured the doors would have at least been something standard that was done on every car. Need to get it sorted out ASAP though, because my insurance doesn't actually cover me unless I have an immobiliser AND an alarm installed.

Granted I've not yet checked the power steering fluid, but I figured it'd be full because everything else was when I bought the car. And knowing my luck, it's more likely to be the pump. No warning light on though (don't know if there is even a warning light for it on the dash?) Not the end of the world as I hate power steering anyway... it was just that it was one more thing to frustrate me after getting raped by the auto electrician.

Hope you find a unit soon dude. Share housing sucks hairy jew nuts :)

also john - i think ive found those wheels you were after

enkei rpf01

Not them, but thanks anyway dude.

thanks for the input guys. there was something else I was going to say but can't remember... *shrug*

*puts on serious hat and pipe*

The remote start that I have will start the car with the steering lock on and if the car is in gear. But with the relay switch if the car is in gear it clicks on and disables the remote start. The relay switch was a option that they put in for me as apparently its illegal to have a remote start on your vehicle if it is a manual as you can start the car in gear and watch it merrily drive down the road.

*removes pipe*

I kinda meant seriously...

no wait nevermind... my mind just processed that I never knew what Dominos she was working at... so obviously that's what it is.

john if you want a good auto electrician try toowong car electrics in black street milton, not sure what he charges but he does our stuff for work.

You still got hicas too yer? maybe got a leak in the system there somewhere. I say lock it and new pump to a rb25 pump

Dan - thanks for the tip. I might check them out next time. Right now though auto electricians are on the top of my kill list.

so... for those of you playing along... an update on the FO':

Power steering is probably the belt. We forgot to change it :)

Brake lights - still playing up

Reverse lights - still playing up

Head unit - now wired up and working like a dream thanks to Jack at Phantom Motors :) (side note for Martin & Dan: My pioneer speakers are rooted, so I need new 6" speakers. Just going to buy 4 6" speakers the same and save the headache of trying to get those 6x9s in the doors).

Amp - working fine

Dome light - working

Headlight - still need new globe

Map lights - still need one globe

Paintwork - filthy - car wash tomorrow night? :dry:

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
