ohk just had my new alarm installed yesterday... however the remote start keeps trying to start the car after it turns it on

i was told that i will have to wrapp te wire around one of the coil packs and it would fit it.. and i did this... however the problem is still happening

does anyone have any ideas?

mm i didnt think so

i was told that the electromagnetic field produced from the coilpacks would induce a current (which makes sence, hence flux) in the wire and indicate to the alarm that the engine is on and to disscontine trying to start the car

however a friend who installed his own alarm in his cressida said he connected his remote start to his tacho wire

i am thoughrly confused right about now

and im just wondering if anyone with an r33 has remote start as part of thier alarm.. and if so how they overcame this

-Ruffels

R33 is behind the dash - yel/red on a S1 not sure what it is on a S2. do you own a multimeter and KNOW how to use it?

if no - pay a shop. you can wipe out a LOT of electrics on that car if you are not careful teh ECU bing one of them.

yup... i own a multimeter and i know how to use it :)

i cant be f***'d pulling the dash out so hopefully it comes down in the section of the loom that is accessable from under the steering collum

so i'll keep my eye out for a yellow and red wire cheers

-Ruffels

you dont have to drop the dash just to get to the tacho sense wire, the easiest solution would be to run the wire into the passengers kick trim and connect it to the ECU, from memory it is pin 7 from the ECU but i would check that first

Google is your friend, do a search for R33 ECU pinouts and im sure you will find the correct wire

Its obviously keeps tryin to start because the alarm isnt sensing any input to stop the module from cranking

you were able with the old style remote start alarms to wrap the sense wire around one of the ignition leads goin to the coil but this cant b done with the new style alarms

ohk... all fixed

thanks to Kris (krsysui) i managed to locate the tacho wire from the ECU

for all r33 boys its yellow with blue stripe.. both S1 and S2 so i dont know where you got the idea of yellow/red chris rogers... but thanks anyways

i took the wire and spliced into the tacho wire and the problem is now fixed :P

thanks all

    • If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.
    • Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)  
    • Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...
    • I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...
    • Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
