central locking cant be taken off the circuit board in the control box that chef_stagea mentioned, no need to unplug it or cut any wires off it though. everything else is pritty easy to find, lock/unlock indication tap into the hazard switch, figure out your immobilisation points, etc.

when i rang justcar they said that it was fine for me to do the install as long as the alarm met the australian standards. e.g 3 point immobiliser, black wiring.

Sorry i made a typo, i meant to say it "can" be taken from the control box on the passenger side.

I havent done the job recently but do remeber what to do, it is a negative trigger off the C/B. I'll forward you a pm i did up for another user on where the points are.

Could you pm me the same info?

Cheers

I have the white box on the passenger side, earthing out the purple/grey wires locks and unlocks all the doors except the drivers side, I can hear a relay click from the control unit on the drivers side but no effect on the lock itself=(

Is this common, does anyone know what my issue is??

Thanks

yep, thats common. and you will sit there scratching your head for hours trying to figure out why the drivers side door wont lock, i know, i wasted half a day trying to figure the door locking system out. basically the white box on the passenger side is the receiver for the keyless entry, two internal relays (lock and unlock) signal the drivers side door to lock / unlock and also trigger those same functions on the white box on the drivers side. the box on the drivers side is the central locking box, as well as doing a couple other things like dome light supervision etc.

there is a difference between central locking and keyless entry. the stagea's central locking looks for a signal from the drivers side door i.e turning a key, and then actuates the other doors. keyless entry will operate all the doors. the wires your grounding are most certainly the central locking signal wires to the drivers side box to lock / unlock all the other doors. you need to tap into the keyless entry trigger points, and that is all done internally in the passenger side box, which means soldering to a circuit board to switch the lock and unlock relays mounted on this board.

have a look at the attached PDF, its a little write up i did a while ago when i installed mine.

same as a R34. the remote side of it is an after thought. two separate systems at play there. they did the same thing with the R32 GTR and the dealer fitted alarms in them.

Check with your insurance company before you start fiddling too, some insurers won't pay up if your car is stolen and the alarm wasn't professionally installed.

How would they know?

They would ask you for the evidence (invoice/receipt)

Doubtful. What if my mate, an electrical engineer, installed it for free for me? They going to ask to see his degree?

What if he's dead?

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
