I'm sure most people on here are familiar with the car at the start of transporter 1. my question is regarding the car, when he gets in the car he has a security system with a PIN code which from what i can see, cuts out the power for the car and i was wondering if there if actually such a thing that exists/is available for purchase?

yes, i have one in each of my GTRs, there $300 -$400 fitted and cut three points( same as a normal alarm just with no siren), just not as fancy as the one in transporter just a key pad you enter a code into, some of the WRXs had to have them fitted as factory so they could get insurence, thanks to the ram raiders

The one that was used standard in WRX was provided by Brant, although their newer units have changed and are now essentially a South African immobilizer made by Sanji. Another retailer: http://carboncarsystems.com.au/sanji-zx40-wireless-keypad-immobiliser-p-154.html

They offer three point immobilization, auto-arms itself after you shut off the car, and has a handy valet mode (disables the unit temporarily - if someone drives the car for more than 15 minutes, next time the car is turned off, it automatically re-arms and requires a pin).

It typically is installed to operate completely independently of your regular alarm, giving you an extra layer of security. For the cost, it's probably not bad value in terms of the extra layer of protection.

thanks for all the help, is there any models that go from 0-9 instead of just 1-5, and is there any guides on fitting them?

thanks again.

there are lots better options available, RFID, Biometric ?

most house alarms arm based on 12V , so yes they make keypads with the digits you require. keypads automatic pin point a weak point in the alarm. they can follow the wires right back in ???

magnetic latching relays ?

RFID is 100% hidden. and you can make your car keyless.and just put in a start button..haha the keys stay in your pocket

Bio metric , can be as well.

just depends on your wallet and the skills of the installer?

Actually they cannot follow the wires back to the alarm module with the Sanji model. The wires on the keypad just go to +power and -earth and the communication link between the keypad and the keypad immobiliser module is done via these wires. They are from South Africa and so they have already thought of that about 5 years ago. Autowatch have a new version keypad immobiliser which incorporates a numeric remote control which you enter your pin number into and press send, which disarms the miniature immobiliser. The actual immobiliser is so small it can be concealed within a wiring harness.

Fyi :The sanji alarm is now wireless keypad , because people traced wires back !!!

But like a ATM cash machine I could sit back and use my long range camera lens to watch you input the code since it lights up at night ?? Too easy to get past

Keypad is out of date tech for low cost oem cars

Any decent installer should be able to foil even the best crims by mis information , alarms hooked to nothing ? The real one is hidden behind so many panels and even the keyswitch can be faked ??

And one the pressurize the abs brakes while armed ??

So much is possible it boggles the mind and wallet. Lol

Mind you this isn't a day job to install

    • 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
    • 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.
