R33 Central Locking Mechanics

[Torques]

Hello there,

I am currently installing an alarm system on my GTST. S2

I got it all sorted so far but I am wondering how the central locking works.

There is a TCU unit which controls the interior dome light and the actuator(s) and another unit

(on the passenger side) which is labelled Remote Control Entry Unit in the schematics.

(I have not checked for the presence of this unit yet)

The passenger side unit seems to be responsible for the driver side door.

What confuses me is the fact that I don't think that my car has a remote control.

The schematics further outline that if I don't have remote control entry I shouldn't have an actuator on the

driver side (which I have)

Does anyone know what this Remote Control Unit is?

(I thought Remote Control stands for wireless entry)

S2 was a dealer option. S3 had it.

[Chris Rogers]

if you have remote entry on a s2 then it is in the drivers door.

[Torques]

OK, thanks ..

My schematics indicate that the remote entry module is on the left hand behind the glove-box though.

[Chris Rogers]

for a 33 s3 - yes it is. s2 will have the smart entrance module on the drivers side and *maybe* the harness for the keyless controller on the passenger side.

most of the cars I have seen over the years have not had anything passenger side.

[Torques]

Ok,

Thanks .. I will have a look once I got my car back from the workshop ..

Cheers

It's been a while but I had I had to juggle a number of things.

Finally got the siren and ultrasonic sensor mounted and the cable routed to where I installed the alarm unit.

Sadly I came to the conclusion that there is no door actuator in the driver's side and the door lock just activates a switch which in turn

activates the TCU which then activates the actuator in on the passenger side.

What I will have to do is buy an actuator for the driver's side and use the alarm to trigger that actuator directly.

Another unplanned twist ...

find a primera and get the actuator out of the drivers door. that will bolt into you mechanism and will not fail unlike the $5 gun motors.

[Torques]

Thanks!

Would that be just the actuator or would I need the door latch as well?

Would it be something like this:

actuator only. mechs are similar. P11 primera should do the trick.

[Torques]

Thamks Chris,

I there a left and right side to it?

I mean should I make sure I buy the driver side mechanism?

Cheers,

Andrew

Hello ✌🏻 I know we have 2021 but the problem with the crappy aftermarket acuators are still there.

anyone tried this with the primera actuator? I need some informations about that 😅

[Torques]

Yes, works with the mentioned P11 actuator .. drop in !

[Chris-rb25det]

Okey thanks for info, i try to install it in a few weeks✌🏻
