if you have a multi meter or even test lights, try and probe each of the possible wires (shouldnt be too hard to figure out the possiblities)

if you have enough of it and want to take it to a shop, try power international in mitchell

the wire for your starter motor is a big fat white with a black trace coming off your key barrel. (Or possibly black with a white trace) Its been a while so my memory is shit house.... just probe it with your test light and turn the key to start. You have to take the bottom part of the steering surround off to get to it. There are possibly other areas where you can get to the wire that will make it a shitload harder for a theif to get to, but this would be the easy way of doing it. You could use a relay and set it up, so that it takes a theif time to find it, and hide it in the engine bay somewhere. But then if he knows what he is doing he can start the car anyway. Slow down tactics are as good as it will get, Tow trucks can override any alarm.

I would immobilise the fuel pump, because if you start playing with the ECU and use your test light, there is a possibility you can blow it up.. You will need to probe for the wires though, cause I haven't touched them myself, so I don't know.

And the door sensor, is it an actual sensor?(I dont install alarms) Or does it just sense the power from the interior light switch? If its the latter I would try and get my hands on a wiring diagram, then you would be able to source power from a central point with the switches combine to turn on the light.

P.S. im only a 1st year.... dont listen to me - No one else does :rofl: lol

I did this myself as well (saving a bucket load of cash) and I had to trace the wires for about an hour. I'm still trying to get the central locking to work, but seeing as it only has an actuator on the passanger door - I can't see it working in the short term until I purchase one for the drivers door....

Did you manage to get around this? PM me and I'll run through the wires I used.

DANOOH.. thanks I'll take you up on that, and hey did you end up getting your side intrusion bars installed? if so where?

its funny that only your passenger door has on, mine is the other way only my driver door has one, they donr cost much any way one about $30 from strathfield..

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
