The remote was the original one that came with the car; I've taken it to Action Alarms in Osborne Park and the guy said he would need a working one first to be able to fix my stuffed one.

"Oh yeah well if he's so smart, how come he's dead?"

That does sound quite right to me, I wonder what system it is?

Sorry I'm the guy fixing remotes and I have looked at and fixed a lot of remotes, which we have never even sold even down to original remotes from manufacturers like Ford, Holden, Mitsubishi you name it I fixed them. But yes, sometimes I need to get an old remote working before I can come up with a new one, simply because I need to get to know what the old thing is doing. However in some cases repair is the only way, as we don't have every single remote control available as a new version. So if you would like to try me again, give me a call on 9242 4000 with your remote control in hand so that you can give me a gescription of it, that's just in case you don't know what brand it is. Even better, send me a digital picture and hopefully I'll be able to identify it from there.

Let's try again, shall we?

Cheers,

Norbert

Hey thanks for the reply MaxAction! I'm not sure if you remember me but I came to see you last Friday and we discussed taking apart my remote to have a look at it. Well I've been able to take it apart with out smashing it to bits, so I'll drop by sometime soon if that's alright by you.

Howdy, now that I have got the remote, as promised I'll try my best. I started to work on it today, but so far no luck. I cleaned up what your father tried to fix, but that wasn't it either. So I will give it another go tomorrow. As I said, in this case, seeing it is your only remote, I will only charge if I actually get it going.

I did fix the 2 Mitsubishi Remotes today and also the old guys Nissan remote. but yours is more of a challenge.

Well, I give you a call when I have something more positive to report.

Cheers,

Norbert

Howdy,

it is all good news for your remote, it is happening again, working away.

Man you are lucky, but call me brilliant if you must ;-)

Give me a call on 9242 4000 for a time to pick it up and test it against the car.

Cheers,

Norbert

PS: anyone else out there with remote control problems?

Brilliant! Thanks for the help, will get in touch with you soon!

Max,

You work for Action Alarms? I've got one remote that is being held together with good ol nitto tape - the other remote for my car disintergrated quite some time ago. Having one working remote ..... and being close to work ..... is this something that could be programmed within a lunchbreak? Or would I have to leave my car with you as well?

Hi Nizmo,

Usually we do those while you wait.

I'd suggest though. when you come down, please bring all the parts you may have of the two remotes and I will see if there is anything we could recover/repair for you. Quite often the old electronic can be repaired. Combine that with a new and you finish up with a pretty good looking and working remote for less than a new unit.

Max did a fantastic job in fixing my factory remote, I highly recommend his work. I was really lucky by the sounds of things! Just a piece of advice for all Skyline owners: look after your factory remotes! You only get one!

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
