a few weeks ago a mate of mine at work told me his parents house got broken into and asked if i could make something (like an alarm) to let you know when someone had entered the property. i said yeh i might be able to and i did some research on the internet and came across this...

Protect your home with lasers -

i did some prototyping and testing and a few weeks later i eventually built this...

this board is slightly different then the 1 produced by kipkay as i desgined it for a 12VDC power supply to operate. it also uses a different transistor to operate a 12V relay (or 12V siren depending on whats required) and has a circuit to power the laser and a few leds to let the user know what is going on. the basic idea is shown in this crappy diagram i just drew

post-44390-1252752754_thumb.jpg

power can be provided by a car battery or a 240VAC/12VDC adapter.

now that i have a working prototype i was wondering if there would be any interest in having these professionally made. thru work i am able to get proper PCB's made (all with proper solder masking/silk screening etc.) only thing is to do it "cost effectively" i'll need more then a 2 people at work who want 1. there seems to be quite a few people on the net (various sites like instructables) who have had trouble making something like this and i would offer these boards as either a DIY kit (people buy the board and parts and assemble the kit themselves) or as 1 complete assembled tested unit. pricing would depend on the quantity of people who would want 1 of these and the more people that wanted them, the less it would cost. eventually if this ever took off sell them on ebay...

so i am asking, is there any interest here for these? would anybody be interested in purchasing 1 when/if i get them built?

thanks

don't mean to be negative or putting you down but a standard household alarm would work better. just setup specific zones, the companies who build these alarm would have thought of this idea and implemented it, if it was more successful then a convectional alarm.

well i could get hold of a few that would singe ur pubes provided you walked past them in the nude...

but yeh, this idea is not to replace a conventional alarm as such, mearly as a cheaper option for people who do not want to spend hundreds/thousands of dollars on professional alarms... this obviously can be used infront of walkways/doors at night time (or day). just turn it on and go to bed and in the morning turn it off again.

anymore thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated

thanks

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
