So changing the fuel filter I didn't realize the alarm wire was behind the fuel filter bracket, tightening the screws on the bracket, I cut the alarm wires in half, the alarm sounded then the wires touched the body, little spark. Since then I reconnected all the wires but she still don't work, the alarm cost a lot so I'm hoping someone has ideas about how to fix it, I don't want to buy a whole new system just yet

What alarm wires were found behind the fuel filter?

Does the alarm respond to the remotes at all?

Does the car start?

Have you noticed anything that does not work? (ie radio, AC, wipers, cigarette lighter etc)

All alarms should have their own fuse. Check all fuses under dash, in engine bay, near the battery area if it is an R33 and check all fusable links as well. Or call me to diagnose over the phone if you want to save time. 0430534248

All the fuses under the dash and in the engine bay r fine, the remotes don't work, the imobaliser no longer works, the unit doesn't respond to turning it on or off with key, all other electronics work 100% it's the alarm system which 100% doesn't work, I was actually surprised and shocked that the imobaliser stopped working but didn't shut down the car a friend suggested that there could be a fuse inside the unit itself havnt checked yet because I don't gave a small and long enough screw driver to open it up have you heard of them having a fuse inside them ?

Well I don't know what alarm you have, but it would be an inline blade style fuse and it would be rated at either 5 amp (orange colour), 10amp (red colour) or 15amp (blue colour).

Why are forum users scared to use the phone to solve problems, I don't understand?????

Nah it was just a fuse on the alarm loom which was hard to find, that's why I thought the alarm was screwed, by the way it's a Cheetah alarm from car toys, I explained the situation to them and they recommended replacing the unit for 250 not including labour, they never even mentioned that it could be a fuse, they're expensive and dodgy I don't recommend getting them to do work on your car, I know other examples of them ripping people off too.

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
