hey guys,

recently got my alarm installed from doug @ eastside installs but if i unlock the car, and i dont start the car within 30secs the engine re-immobolises but the doors dont auto re-lock! why? Doug said it was to do with the interior light coming on or somcrap and R33's didnt auto re-lock, sounded like bs - did he install it properly?

also the range is pretty short, about 5meters... he said this was the normal range for this type of alarm? anyone confirm

Exact same problem with mine. However mine doesnt have central locking to begin with so that might the reason (installed the central locking kit). But yea the range is shit. and sometimes you will have to keep pressing the button before you get any response (like you lock it straight after you unlock it).

It should be an option (configurable). I have an M80 on my R34 so might be slightly different but for me it works as follows:

Unlock via remote: Don't open any door, the car will re-lock itself.

Unlock via remote: Open a door but don't start ignition, the car will re-arm the immobiliser but NOT re-lock the doors.

this is what happens with mine:

If i unlock the car and dont open the doors: the doors dont re-lock

the guy that installed it said it was because my cabin light comes ON when i unlock the car so the alarm thinks the door is open and thats why the alarm wont relock the doors, he wants some more $$ to come out and fix the range and autorelock :dry:

Would it work better if you just turned the center light off permanently?

You can always turn it on when you hop in the car or need to find something in the car..

I had a black-wire Cyclops alarm in 1 of my other cars and that did well.. was $250 from Ministry of Bass.. but it doesn't have as many options as viper or m80 obviously.. Its just an alarm and immobilizer really (connects to central locking if factory fitted) range on that remote is heaps far like 30-40 meters or through walls it has no problem..

it really depends on the car. if its a later car then the BCM controls the light. meaning that when you unlock the car it turns the light on. if they pick the wire up for the doors on that side (light) then the alarm sees the door open and doesn't do as its supposed to.

Hey guys,

I'm not sure what immobilizer I have, but I can see a mongoose battery pack I think it's there to keep the siren going when the battery is dead *shrugs*.

The car also has that 30 second immobilizer function not certain if it auto locks itself I haven't check (at the moment I have it hidden in my fiance's garage until I get used to driving manual).

How do I check what immobilizer I have? Can someone post a pic of their remote?

I have a pair of greyish-black remotes with buttons "I" - to activate/deactivate and "II" to silence on it.

Cheers guys,

fibbo.

    • HyperGear. Just get a high flow of the stocker. Good, reliable, and should bolt on. Yes it will want things like a retune once done, so you need to factor this in to your spend too.
    • Hi. Iam looking for some "cheaper" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO. I do not want "big" power just better reliability than the stock turbo which is "fot now" good but is old and i do not think it has "easy" life. One the Skyline here running some "temu" china Turbo but i dont trust those... Thanks!

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
