Hi all, ...Just bought a R33 GTST Auto RB25det ..I stared the car and drove it over my pit and turned it off..So I could give it a oil and filter change..Then when I went to start it as soon as you turn the key for the dash lights to come on, there is a click like a soleniod and all the dash lights go out.

and the car is dead and will not turn over....There is a little red light on the dash which I presume is for the immobilizer or alarm this is flashing all the time but when you turn the key to start and the dash goes out this light is a solid red with no flashing..............

Now the car only came with one key...No pad or alarm key...Dont know what brand alarm it is (No markings on it or the car)....I tried removing the power supply to the alarm but the little red light is still flashing..??? So I presume that isnt the problem...

I only bought the car for parts, mainly the engine but I wanted to run it with fresh oil ect to get a idea of oil preasure ect before pulling the engine out..

So any ideas please..........If its alarm related I will need advise on how to remove or bypass as the unit is now beyond repair...anger issues...lol

If its a immobilizer issue....Can this be reset without a pad....Oh yea the key does not fit the door either....

Is there more to the alarm than just the round bit under the bonnet? Thats what power supply I disconnected...I did find a Autowatch sticker under the seat..when I when for second look

So did I just remove power from the siren part and not the alarm itself?

On the unit under the bonnet there was a sticker for the wiring as follows.................

RED + 12 volts

BLACK...Ground

WHITE...Trigger

ORANGE..Trigger

PINK...Alarm Bonnet Switch Trigger

SINGLE BLACK>>>>>Bonnet Switch

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
