Greetings.

Does anyone know of a way to increase the Volume of my Alarm?

As title says, it's a Cyclops Paralyser 785 and it was in the car when I bought it. I have a copy of the manual and it mentions nothing of Volume.

I have always thought it was a little quiet compared to most other Alarms I've heard, but I'm not sure if the volume is adjustable on these things.

It's not really faint, muffled or distorted but I don't think it would wake me up at night if I was at the opposite end of the house.

The siren itself is mounted between the firewall and the drivers strut tower and I can swivel it to face up or down.

I usually point it up towards the bonnet as it's a little louder.

Not sure if there is enough cable to relocate it to behind the headlight etc. and not sure if a second siren / speaker can be used...

Any Help would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Rob.

Ok Cool. Thanks Chris. (I was kinda hoping you would answer my Questions) :worship:

Pretty quiet 120db. :(

I wasn't sure if there might be a pot inside or something and I wasn't sure if I should even be opening up the Siren as it has the Arm / Disarm key hole in it, so it seems to be more than just a siren.

So can I just crack it open and Sling some wires out off it?

How do these Alarms rate in your opinion?

they are a -neg out of the alarm. use a realy and wire accordingly and you are done. fit what ever siren you want then OR set teh thing to pulsed mode and tie it to your OEM horn. disable the chirps though.

siren as supplied was a battery back up item.

low end stuff but better than nothing.

Thought I'd dig this up again as I have a couple more related / unrelated questions... (no I haven't tried to increase my alarms volume yet) :)

Q1:

Recently my alarm has been making a weird intermittent chirp for a minute or so after startup. (same high pitch as when re-arming with the key)

As I have been driving the 31 alot lately, my 33 has mostly been parked and therefore hasn't been charging regularly.

Could this be the problem or is the backup battery in the alarm starting to die? (can they be replaced?)

Q2:

My R31 has an immobiliser in it that uses a weird little Dongle thing that you have to put in a hole to start the car.

What is this immobiliser and can I easily get a spare dongle just in case?

1, yes it is dying. Replace siren. Easier.

2. Show me what it is.

Ok Mr Rogers,

I finally found the immobiliser box in the R31. (pulled out the steering column to replace the bushing) ;)

Any idea what this is and if I can get a spare dongle?

Edit* might have to find my nearest "Zylux Dealer" ---> http://www.autofixautoelectricians.com.au/pdf/zvs10_manual.pdf

and I bought one of these to replace the dying siren in the 33. (hopefully this is correct.)

Haven't got round to installing yet.

Alarm in the 33 is a Cyclops Paralyser 785 so this siren should do the trick then I guess. (Looks the same)

I'll just trace the existing wires and hopefully the colours will match up. (Orange, Red, Black & Brown)

and to try fix the original issue, I'll try to install it in a better place so the Siren is not so Muffled.

AudioTech in Tuggeranong seems to be the only Zylux Dealer in Canberra according to the Googles...

I actually rang them and they said for me to take it there, they will likely have to order in a dongle, scan the code from my existing one and put it onto the new one.

(hopefully this will not cost me assorted limbs) :D

Thanks again for your Help Mr Rogers. :worship:

    • I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.       
    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
