Hey everyone, Im new to the forum and skyline owning, I had a TT 300ZX for a while, nice car if it didnt keep breaking down. Anyways, just wondering if you R33 owners have the ghost that locks the passenger door when you shift to 2nd gear. Im guessing its a safety thing, can anyone tell me if its normal and if there is a fuse I can pull to stop it.

Ta peeps

Or is it a 19km/h tuck and roll ??

its 20klms isnt it??

sorry to be annoying but its actually 25km

and yes it can be disabled, i think its kind of cool though...

in my car ive set it up so both doors automatically lock when you turn the car on and when you turn it off they both unlock.

surely mine isnt the only line with the unlock switch by the drivers window controls?!! :D For those of you who find the auto door lock annoying, do you actually use this switch, or do you let your passengers fumble around trying to unlock their door themselves??! :shake:

i used to use it...

u dont want non familiar skyline people touching your shit! messing around with your pride and joy.

after installing my alarm my door also does that. turn on engine, it will both locks and turn off engine it will both unlocks.

if for some reason the passenger is unlocked, like someone getting off, then it will lock itself again when I drive over 20km/h.

I like this feature for security purpose.

Wow, seems heaps of people have lots to say. I find that when I stop, I open my door (sometimes im even out of the car) and then find the passenger trying to fumble with the lock...its not usual to get in the passenger side of a car, not lock the door then arrive to have it locked. I just think its annoying even with the driver side control lever thing...i guess it just being new to it, but my 300zx didnt do it. Thanks again people for answering my query so quick

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
