Gday,

I know alarms have been covered in threads here but none seem to be installing alarms themselves.

My question is this-

I need an alarm that I can install myself (so sold to public) that is black wiring and remote keyless ... As well as having all the code hopping stuff and ability to be silent (I hate when the car beeps as you open/close it).

It should also have 3 immobiliser points minimum and it would be nice to have additional inputs/outputs (so it can accomodate boot, doors, bonnet, tilt and microwave/proximity.

The jaycar ones look good but unforunately (and stupidly in my opinion) the one with all black wiring doesn't have remote keyless entry (shadow), and the one with keyless entry (and all the features I want) doesn't have black wiring (car steel, steel mate or something..) Go figure.

Anyways - any help is appreciated - if installers can sell me a kit that'd be good too - but I spose people don't sell these things so the wiring diagrams don't get out.... although with black wiring I don't see how it matters.

Thanks.

Check Ebay if you can mate, there are some nice alarms on there. You can get the ISO approved Australian ones like Cyclops, Black Widow or if you want to save some money you can get cheaper ones.

I bought a 'cheap' Chinese unit for $50AUD delivered, and it was great. Central locking output, silent arm/disarm, immobilization, shock sensing, 100db horn, was a very good unit. (Apart from the Engrish installation manual)

give it a try!

hi mate, I bought mine through Autobarn! only cost me bout $200 and it has just about everything you listed above (no microwave sensor). very easy to install.

I did mine, as I have seen some slap happy wiring jobs (no-one takes more care with yor car than yourself!) and I didn't want anyone else to know where and how it is wired up :)

For anyone else looking at this thread I just noticed the "BW10000" look dodgey as.

Considering -

a. google seems to be spammed with the item pointing to ebay

b. BW homepage doesn't have this model at all

c. the seller's feedbacks looks 'strange'

Anyways, I'll keep looking :)

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.

      Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?

      R34 N/a And R34 Turbo (gtt) Transmission.. Uh, Problem.

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man

      Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
