Hey all,

Today I tried to unlock my drivers door with my spare key to find that it wont open the door. I can unlock the boot and start the car with the key but it will not the door.

Funny thing is, my normal key (has OEM keyless entry) will open the door and start the car but will not open the boot.

Both keys look the same (in terms of cut) however my normal key is more worn.

Can anyone advise on why this might be and what I could do to get both keys to open all locks?

Also, I was talking to a mate about alarms today and he said not to put an "upgrade" alarm on my car as simply unlocking the doors (either by remote, by turnign the key or flickign the door switch) will disengage the alarm/immobilizer. Something to do with the solenoid sending out the pulse. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Note: I have the OEM keyless entry system

Thanks!

if you put an aftermarket alarm on then you will need to unlock the car with the remotes that come with it rather than the OEM ones, as most alarms also have an immobiliser and pressing the button disarms it as well as unlocking the car.

Thanks mate,

when i was talking about the "upgrade" alarm, from what ive seen there are some systems which use the OEM keyless entry to run the alarm/immobiliser. He was saying that you cant hook our cars up to these as simply unlocking the car in any way will disable the alarm.

Oh well, im just going to get a full alarm system...

Isn't that the point of unlocking the car.. No point unlocking the car and still have the alarm enabled.. Talk to a proper alarm shop specialist about your options and whether you can program your OEM button to be used as your alarm/unlock instead of the aftermarket one..

      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.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
