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..

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
