does anyone know where i can get a Cheap immobilser installed?

a very cheap one as i am planning on getting an expensive one soon when i get enough cash.

the problem is, i bought an r33 from a dealer and it was getting compliance done when i went to have a look at it and dint pay attention at immobiliser coz i was more interested in checking out the mechanical side of the car and body lol. i checked the whole car out and its perfect. only thing i realised is that it does not have immobilser and i am not sure what will happen when i take the transfer papers.

does anyone know where i can get a cheap one installed ASAP?

what happens if they noticed i havent got a immobilser installed? do i have to go through the pits or somethin after getting one installed?

cheers guyz

love u all :D

As soon as you submit the transfer papers you will receive an "Immobiliser Offence" letter in the mail. You have 3months to get an immobiliser installed on the car, so don't stress you got plenty of time.

Then after you have had the immobiliser installed and filled in an "Immobiliser Statutory Declaration" form (link http://www.dpi.wa.gov.au/mediaFiles/lic_mr191.pdf), you will then receive the transfer invoice for payment of stamp duty.

As for who does the immobiliser installs i wouldnt have a clue :down: lol

go back to the dealer and ask him to install one...

its illegal to sell a car without one.

Did you get this from over East like you were mentioning a while ago?

Eastern States do no require an immobiliser, but here it is a legal requirement for sale and you can't go over the pits without one.

Both of you are wrong - it is not illegal to sell a vehicle in Western Australia without an immobiliser.

If the vehicle is less than 25 years old it must have an immobiliser fitted to it by law, however if for some reason it does not have an immobiliser, it is the PURCHASERS responsibility to install an immobiliser within 3 months of the vehicle being transferred into their name.

Vehicles 25years or older are exempt from having immobilisers and so are vehicles over 4.5 tone Gross Vehicle Mass aswell as Motorcycles.

I should know this, i work at with the Dept of Transport Licensing Services :down:

Sorry for resurrecting an old topic. I'm going through the same process at the moment and wanted to know if these laws still apply. In other words, can i transfer the car into my name without an immobiliser and get one installed within 3 months later?

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
