Had a viper alarm put in fairly recently... i got the guy to wire the alarm up so that when you arm the car and the mirrors are open, the mirrors will fold in but he couldn't do it so that when you disarm the car the mirrors will open?

He mentioned something like a timer delay module, something like that, that's how he thought they worked on cars which had the option from factory.

He was going to run constant power line, but said even with the car off, it would drain the battery.

So yeah, anyone got their mirrors hooked to their alarms to open and close? I think Noof had done it, but i can't remember exactly.

autotrust has it on his (along with sunroof control)... but then he's a Viper alarm specialist so he should know how to do it :)

I haven't seen him around for so long, what's he up to?

cool, i got a viper alarm, nice. Yeah, i haven't seen Danny popup for ages? i think i got his mb#, i might give him a buzz..

anyone know what he's up to?

anyone else got an idea of how to go about?

Hey Ash, will your alarm mate come out and do an install on site? Does he also do stereos?

he will, but its going to cost you.

He works from home afterhours and has his garage all setup with tools.

To pack crap up and what not is a pain for anyone if you forget even one tool or dont bring enough wire or whatever

PM me guys if you want his number, im lazy, its easier to reply than me send one out :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

u referring to alarm or compliance?

the fold out was something he hadn't done before... and it's something that no one seems to have a straight answer for either, so i'm guessing it's not that straight forward

I'd recommend this guy any time to do an alarm install, he did a great job and know's his stuff well. He's even got a V8 RX7 that he built himself, one of these self taught ppl :(

but yeah, the fold-out had him stumped, but if you gave him a day and access to any Jaycar kit he wanted, i'm sure he'd get it going ;)

Spoke to danny about it last night. He's been busy with his new Celsior and other cock-smoking activities. He said his fold in/fold out was hooked up to his sunroof control (which he controlled with the Viper alarm).

He also warned that due to the nature of the power mirror switch, you could fry the switch/relay/fuse if you tried to use the feature through the remote while the car was running (something about the car wanting the mirrors out while the alarm was trying to fold em in).

Best to call him and talk to him about it.

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
