Car won't start. Immobiliser problem?

So last night I drove to my gym at about 10pm and everything was running perfectly. Haven't had any dramas like this before.

As I went to leave the gym and turn on my car, I found it wouldn't even remotely turn over. Now I have an immobiliser in my 03 V35. Have no idea if its stock or not. Basically when I turn my key so far it makes a constant clicking noise until I depress my immobiliser button and then all the dash lights and eveything works and then that allows me to start the car. However, last night it wouldn't even do that. I turn the key and nothing happens. No clicking noise or anything and I can't disable the immobiliser. 

I tried to do a little research and I've seen people with some similar issues but not the same. It's not the transponder in my key because I replaced that a few months ago as I lost it.. the central locking etc still works. 

Anyone have any idea what this could be? Is it the immobiliser or something else?

I had a similar issue with my m35. Ended up being a sticky relay inside the alarm/immobilizer. Once I found the box under the dash area near the ignition, I tapped the box a few times with a screwdriver and the relay unstuck and everything was back to normal. Worth trying.

Is your immobilizer aftermarket? If yes, then will be under dash somewhere. Depending how good the installer was, it shouldn't be too hard to find.

 

Put up a pic of your immobilizer button please.

 

 

Yeah, I'll be honest, I'm not entirely sure wether or not it's stock or an aftermarket unit.

Here's the key and immobiliser button.

    • 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'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
