ok for all those om my list - who ever brings an un guarded 32 is going to lose it . I need parts for mine :P

you have been warned :)

weather for sunday looks ok . I will have a 32 on display as a discussion piece as well. thanks to its owner for lending it to me for the week.

Paul Ruzic,

bring yours.

thanks to those that attended :)

one silver R33 driver learned somthing about his car and the rest learned about theft and siren placement.

I'll do an open invite one at some point.

for those that were there - this is what I was talking about.

------

Mounting - The Australian Standard states “where practicable, all components of the

VSAS (alarm) shall be concealed”. This means you cannot see it or grab hold of it !

Remember concealment is the key to a good security system installation. Since

most installers mount the brain module under the dash near the fuse box, that’s

exactly the first place a thief would look.

Remember that a security system is only as good as the installation. As installers,

we have a moral obligation to the customer to perform installations with the security

of the vehicle in mind, rather than what is easiest for us. Therefore, choose a more

secure location, in an area that requires the removal of several panels to gain access. As Australian Standards approved products are programmed via the ignition input the control module can be completely

hidden. The only internal jumpers on some models control door polarity or a turbo

function and these should be set prior to installation.

--------------

find an installer that does that correctly irrelevant of alarm make and you are on a winner.

for those that lost cars with alarms on them - this was the down fall.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
