Remote Start R32

[RBLUV]

thinking about getting remote start with my alarm for my gts r32. some people have told me if i get a cheap one it could screw up my engine but i thought it just connects to the starter motor...does anyone know where it goes and if it will do anything to my engine???

they might be referring to the starter motor.. some remote starts will continously try and start your car if the alarm has no comfermation that the engine has kicked over.. mine was doing that when i had it installed... however it just required me to connect a wire form the alarm to the tacho wire to tell the car that the engine was on

my bro has done it on the commodore, press the button while inside the house and the car starts up... give it a few mins and its nice and ready to start driving fairly hard

remote starts are only good if its an auto, as you put it in P or N when you turn it off or if its not in those gears it wont start anyway...

Anyhow, if its installed in a manual, you gotta leave it in neutral otherwise when you start it it will either stall or maybe even start driving away without you!

a mates cousin has one on his manual VS commodore, he has to check to make sure its in neutral... which kinda defeats the purpose. he started it one time in gear and it started rolling forward! he crapped em good

My R33 has a remote start, works well and everyone thats seen it thinks its really cool

Worrying about being in gear for me is not an issue as i have a turbo timer & my car is required to remain in neutral for the timer to work.

do all turbo timers require the car to be in nutural????

when i - eventually - get a car. that will be one of the first things i do to it...

A turbo timer keeps your engine running for a set amount of time after you turn it off. Anytime the engine is running in a manual the car has to be in neutral or the clutch has to be down. Otherwise it stalls.

i got remote start in m car, never missed a beat *touch wood* but there cool in cold mornings to warm up the car.

with most systems the remote start will start teh engine n keep it ideling. if u try and drive it, the engine switches off, so u gotta put the key into the ignition into the on position, once done u can drive as normal ,so they are safe.

alaso most systems if u press remote start, it makes sure ht doors r locked then starts, so no one can jump in n steal it
