I had a mongoose m80 fitted today to my r33 Gtr. The unit has a turbo timer feature that sometimes doesn't work. I mean it just turns of the car without a two minute delay?

Also the front torque tacho started playing up. I never saw it play up before, the needle was reading 50% when I was stationary on the lights?? Could it be from the alarm instal?

What do you think? Maybe the alarm fitter got his wires crossed?

The M80 will only run the engine provided your doors are still closed when turning off the ignition, maybe you had a door open when you tried it. As for the tacho I would give the installer the oportunity to have a look at it.

Got the same alarm waiting to be fitted

You don't need to worry mate the Mongoose alarm is not the cause of the tacho problem, it will be a loose connection or something simple I guess. As long as the installer makes good solid soldered connections and even makes sure to solder even the earth terminals after crimpimg and terminates direct to body. Most issues that happen after a car alarm is fitted is usually due to poor connections of other fitted aftermarket components that were there prior to the alarm being fitted. All it takes is for an alarm fitter to unknowingly bump one of these connections while running wires for the alarm and then soon after you see a problem arise.

Cheers,

you should think yourself lucky! i had an autobarn install mine as its the only place i could get into at the time and they managed to drill holes, f**k door lock servo's and not protect wiring from rubbing through which resulted in a small fire and a dead computer. If i ever have my time again, i would pay to go see mr rogers, even if i have to drive 2000k+ to see him. Pay for what you get!

free plugs ftw

i have the same alarm and seem to get the same issues with the turbo timer... has a mind off its own... doesnt want to work some times...

i have to let the turbos cool down myself before turning the car off :S

Never seen the problem here and have done quite a few of them. The Autowatch 446 Premium is alot more stable as I have done hundreds of these and into trucks as well and they have never missed a beat.

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
