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'

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...

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!!!

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
