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.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
