How Can I Tell If My Car Has A Central Locking Actuator?

[SL33K]

Hey guyz, going to get an alarm soon in my r33 and was wondering if my car has an actuator so i can save a little cash if its there?

I opened the drivers side door and there is a unit with an aerial sticking out/ Does that mean it has one?

The car didnt come with any remotes but even under the dash there is a box that looks like a factory alarm box.

thanx 4 the help.

Cheers.

Hey mate. Sounds like your car does/did have a factory alarm/central locking. But chances are that if you didn't get remotes with the car, you might run into trouble getting replacement ones, as most factory systems require one working remote to code a new one if that makes sense? Don't worry too much about the cost of the (i'm assuming) door actuators, as most remote alarm/immobiliser/central locking kits will come with actuators, and you car buy cheap basic central locking kits with 4 actuators for as little as $20-$30 with universal fit 4 wire actuators. Hope that helps.

My car had a factory actuator, had to buy an after market one anyway as it would not work with the new alarm properly, missing some wires or something, cost an extra 50 bucks fitted, no biggie. So i wouldn't worry too much.

100% sure your car will have a factory actuator.

if the immobilizer/alarm system cannot use it and needs another one then its shit, get another one

im using a cyclops one, cost'd around $120 from memory (can look it up and find out for sure if ur interested) and it done everything, central locking, its got an alarm, boonet switch and shock sensor, and i also bought a chip which you change over which allows it to work with a turbo timer, this wasnt very expensive and was very easy to swap over (in and out)

i can do a cashy and install one if u want, or our workshop does pretty good price on supply & installs on immobilizers (autowatch) the very very basic ones, and also keypad ones.

in ur other thread u said u were on a bit of a budget, id recomend the cyclops, but if u want a mother of a systhem then go for an autowatch one they do an awsome kit with motion sensors and all that crap.
