Cefiro quirks

[someonestolecc]

Damnit Funk.

Dundas ain't that far from me. ... Well.. it is but atleast it's closer than some whackos live

Lemme know if he changes his mind

[funkymonkey]

well you can look at it next time I come to syd, which would be in a couple of months see... u shoulda had a ceffy meetup when I was there 2 weeks ago...

[someonestolecc]

Yeah but 2 weeks ago I was at work working my fat ass off (well.. my fat ass has stayed..) and new years wasn't a good time

But yea I'm planning to have my alarm done by then so p'raps it might be a matter of just having it installed without the motor and remembering to lock my door. Then when you can show me how it's done I can re-hook it up later.

wait... you say your dad is away ay? :evil:

[dangerous_daveo]

I've always had a motor that has worked in that drivers door... In fact its really cool, it even automatically unlocks when you open the door (from the inside).

And I love scaring my passengers, I think its tops that the doors lock.

[funkymonkey]

no my dad's at home with the cef (it being his car and all)... and i'm away (coz I live in VIC)...

um if you're gonna pay someone to do the alarm you'd be better off doin the whole thing in one go. Perhaps I'll get Danny to outline the whole process when he gets back (might be quicker n easier).

As for scaring the passengers, my cousin calls it the "kidnapper feature", coz she always gets creeped out by the fact that it locks her in when I start driving.

[dangerous_daveo]

Oh yeah! With my alarm it locks the doors as soon as you start the car Its even better when the person unlocks the door because they dont like it only to have it lock 10secs later after you start driving

[someonestolecc]

Funky that's a good idea. I might have a go at the alarm myself - then I can add a few extra tricks

The door auto lock novelty factor is all good I'm just over when people go to open it they are like wtf.. then i have to hit the switch. Then if they're impatient they were trying to open the door when i hit the switch so then i have to hit it some more times. :uzi:

[funkymonkey]

well mine's wired up so I can unlock all the doors by either:

1. opening my door

2. hitting the lock/unlock button on my door

which seems to be more friendly than just the lock/unlock button.

i've got no central locking anymore(had it when landed though), never had the doors auto locking though. My lock all button works too. My 105kmh ding gets drowned out by the exhaust hehe.

I wouldnt mind getting central locking working though as it is handy.

another quirk is.....or nice luxury type item is the steering wheel coloum how it moves back and forward ...not just up and down .....i thought that was pretty good ......

[funkymonkey]

yeah... mad feature... only limited to...

r32 skylines, silvias, 180sx's, gtir, leopards, cefiros, laurels, cimas, presidents and patrols.

hah yes that is a strange quirk having the car running

[OkiC33]

For the auto lock i'm pretty sure if you cut the wire running to the ECU that controls the speed cut, then it'll disable the auto locking, and it's a cheap way to remove the speed cut. The downside to this is that the hicas light on the dash stays on, I just took the light out of mine, but come time for inspection, over here in Okinawa all of your check lights have to work, so i always have to hook everything back up. I'm not sure about the beeping, mine was stock turbo so it didn't have that, but it's probably controlled by the same wire

[OkiC33]

Anybody ever wonder why cefiro's use a mechanical speedometer in the dash, but they have a wire monitoring speed to the ECU? They should've made the dash electrical because i'm getting tired of changing the dash because that stupid little ring keeps cracking

[someonestolecc]

Thanks for the tip Oki - I might try to find that. Might have some probs cos it's sr20 ECU but in theory it should be the same(?).

I don't have hicas so it shouldn't matter (I'm assuming they've taken the light out already).

Cheers.
