Putting out the feelers for any experienced or simply thorough and knowledgeable person(s) to help with an keyless entry install for a R33 GTS-T. I've tried doing it myself after being dicked around by JB Hi-Fi and ended up being stumped in the process. Hoping someone here knows someone etc.

Another vote for Chris here... his work is second to none and he won't rip you off. Just don't ask him if he can do anything tricky because you'll end up going back for all kinds of cool shit :P

Edit: ooh 6,666 posts :no:

Thanks Chris for the offer. After I made my initial post, I was down at Autobarn looking at some replacement rear speakers. Turns out they would install the actuator into my driver side door for only $40, so I booked it in pronto.

Got the car back, and have today been playing around with the wiring hookups. Blown a few fuses, but have managed to hook it all up now. The trickiest part was working out how to hook into the lights setup.

Do most people's cars flash the indicators when they arm and disarm the keyless entry? I've worked out how to hook those up, but also found a way for the dashboard, front small headlights and brake lights to flash as well.

Not sure what is the better hookup, as all going at once is a bit much lol.

Once all that's sorted, I'll look at installing a boot actuator as well.

After installing the system, putting meticulous effort into the wiring all being nice, I hook the system up and am thinking sweet, it's all working :). Well kind of. Turns out the idiot at Autobarn installed the actuator at an angle that is far from optimal. Playing around with the push bar that connects the actuator and where it attaches to the door lock mechanism, I cannot for the life of me get it so that the action is anything but violent. It seems to me the idiot drilled the holes into the door, then realised, there was something behind it that would interfere the movement. So instead of correcting it, he just flipped it over 180 degrees. Yes it "works" but I can't see it lasting. What an utter waste of time.

Anyway Chris, I think I need to come up your way, drop in and I bet it would take not even 5mins to correctly mount the actuator. All the wiring is in place now, so it's a case of more holes in my door ;) , but at least the movement being proper.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
