Factory Remote Central Locking

[No Crust Racing]

Hey all,

Just wondering if anyone else has the factory remote central locking in there skyline? (I've got a Series II) I'm having some issues with it, when I originally bought the car it only seemed to work when sitting in the car. I thought "No problem" just get a new battery for the remote. Prior to purchasing a new battery it stopped working all together and a new battery has not solved the issue. Thoughts would be appreciated, especially from anyone who has dealt with this before. For starters, where's the control unit and RF receiver?

Cheers

96+s2 has the control unit on hte passenger side beside the glovebox on the outside. glove box and panel have ro be removed to get at it. yours *MAY* be a dealer fit item ( I see a lot of these) and if you are lucky nissan *MAY* be able to rekey it. failing that - aftermarket is $100 for the whole unit with a boot release option.

I had this problem as well; it was my remote that was stuffed for my s1 R33. Got it fixed for 25 simoleans by an alarm install place, the guy was really good. According to him once you lose the factory remote or if it gets smashed then that's it as it's nearly impossible to re-code the factory remote.

Mmm, who did you get to do it, contact details would be appreciated. Might have a word and see if it's a generic fix or if only he knows or something.

Mine was in the driver door, under the trim. Stamped as Nissan all over it, with a little arial on it. I never got the key, so I dunno if it works. I disconnected the unit from the harness, and my car security installer was able to tap off it to install the remote central locking in my alarm system. =-D

I have a piccy if anyone's interested?

[No Crust Racing]

Yeah give us a look

Here you go!

looks like the one I pull from 32,33 GTR's . thats a dealer fit item. the FACTORY fit one is the one I described. I like the dealer one as it gives me an actuator to work with when I do alarms in those cars. I keep the siren as it makes a good lights on reminder.

I have a factory alarm system in my 33 but central locking must be another seperate option again.

BTW if anyone know how to get the factory alarm to work so i have 2 alarm that would be good.

Chris: ah ok! That would explain the different mounting-spots. So the dealers had Nissan central locking kits that they optioned onto some cars at the dealership?

[Chris Rogers]

yep. it was more common in the GTRs than the GTs. the S2 cars had it factory and some had a combined key that had the remote built into it like the 34.

Ok,

pulled off both door trims and did not find the above module. I did however find this module above the pedals in the foot well

I imagine that is the control unit, was connected to a green plug. Wonder if I can take this in to a place and have it tested with my remote, or better yet talk to Nissan.

Thoughts?

Also..

Found this plug spare, no idea what it's for, anyone know? Diagnostic connector or something?

Consult port. Lots of threads on it. Very useful and cool thing to play with, but you need software, cable and a laptop. =-]

that module is an old alpine alarm. show me the remote.

[No Crust Racing]

Mmmm... the remote is defintely Nissan... I wont dispute the module comment as I have on way of proving otherwise, yet. Here's the remote pic as requested =)

Cheers for the feedback.

IF you can find one the toyota dealers used that module in the celica and a few other cars from 96-99. may be worth a shot. as for programming it- any alpine dealer may still have te manuals for a 8040 or 8041 and they will be able to program it.
