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!!!

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
