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.

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
