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!

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
