Morning guys,

Just wondering if someone can recommend a good workshop/ auto electrician in Canberra that can install a Viper alarm into my car- hopefully someone who has dealt with R33's before.

I currently have a Brant alarm in my car and it is absolute rubbish- i ordered a Viper system to replace it with and would like to get it installed ASAP

(The immobiliser has left me for dead more times than i can remember!)

Thanks in advance!

Hope you obtained the Viper 855XV

It's the only one which has received Aust Certified Approval (according to some insurance companies) - whereas, other models still await certification up till a couple of months ago.

I don't need you to reply to this on an open forum.

#855XV is one of the best tho'

And Welcome to SAU :action-smiley-069:

If you have had a turbo timer installed AFTER youtr Brant alarm it can make things a bit screwey...

Make sure you specify to the installer if a timer is installed, and what features etc you want straight from the start... altering parameters later on has potential to leave you stranded...

Good advice!

Thanks guys :)

Ive been doing a bit of research on the forums (since my car has an idle problem too) and sadly it seems like my alarm might not be the culprit for my car starting troubles.....

Ive found a few articles that suggest that an old fuel filter, dirty air regulator, atmospheric BOV, ageing coilpacks, dirty AAC Valve could all be attributing to this.

Just ordered a plumb back BOV and will be buying a new fuel filter (Probably from Repco) for a bit of DIY this weekend- but it looks like i'll be spending a bit of money on the car these next few weeks

in order to get it going reliably :(

Arghhhhh!!!

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
