i know that jt-imports sells it for about $500

do you guys know if anyone else does? I'm trying to get a price baseline....

 

That's the only place I've seen it as well. It would be nice.......for a little less money.......

 

I would say it seems pretty much like a waste of money ofr me.

In fact there was a story here in Thailand that, a girl open her car form a distance with her remote key, then there was a rapist get into the car...

 

Not if you break keys all the time, which happens to LOTS of FD3S owners.......

Hey, didn't Thailand just change their method of executing people from machine gunning them to lethal injection?? Now there's progress..

 

try corksport they usually have jspec parts

 

i agree ron, I really want it but its a lot of $$,

I 'll see what cork sport can do gohorns, thanks

 

how much is the sensor that you have to put in the doors?

 

I'm a little mistified by the pricing myself. Before Jt imports was advertising it on their site I found it on the japanese mazda webpage as a "dealer installed option." The key was priced at 80usd (using a currency converter) and the entry system was around 280usd total-w all actuators, key, ect.

An aquaintance of mine at the time was able to get it for "less" than that price because he had a dealer account.

So the question is, where is the extra $220+ going? JT seems to have competitive prices on everything else so I don't think he's pocketing it. Any thoughts? I didn't go far enough into the transaction with my friend to discuss the nitty gritty of getting the system to me. Maybe that is where the cost is coming in.

 

I thought I was the only one braking the key, and the my door handler always in a bad shape. However, I have made a new key already.

BTW I think they change the execution process long time ago, but I don't see people really get execution here, they at most are jail for life.

 

Forget that do it yourself. Get a keyless system, and then use some fiberglass and take the buttons and the rest of the stuff out of the remote they give you and mold it into the key. I thought about doing this and will eventually.

hey Fd slave.. my Race Team is all from thailand..?
ever herd of SickSecondz?

* shurgs. * where in thailand you at.?
all my friends just recently went there.

 

The RX8 has a nice key design and I believe it has a keyless system. Might be worth checking into.

 

hmm... maybe picking off the rx8's keyless ent. would be a good idea....?

 

...rx8, hmm...but then you have to change all ur locks and shizzy :-(

 

and the TRUTH shall set you FREE!!!!

Yeah that is the only set back....

Hummm and I thought JTs price was fair. Maybe one has more parts then the other or Japan screws people on the options

 

4 keys broken in 2 years for me. 25 bucks at canadian tire for remote keyless entry. tie it right to the fuse for the door locks, 20 min install. or any $50 car alarm works too? actuators??? all fd's have power door locks.

 

I've been thinking of fabing a "true keyless" FD. Keyless entry without the key...just a button...then a switch board somewhere like in an airplane; six (or so) military standard, two pole, three way toggle switches. In a certain order...say up, middle, up, down, etc...the car is armed to ACC (through a digital logic decoder), and in another order car is powered to ON...then the push buttom start to crank her up. Probably some sort of F/P relay cut switch that is hidden too. Six, three position two pole toggle switches would give something like 729 different possibilities of ON, so breaking in a guessing would be very unlikely and if you did guess...the F/P relay would be cut. Hell, if you broke in and saw a row of switches (like in a cockpit of a jet) would you really know what it was for...and when you saw it had no ignition for a key???

I also don't just park my car anywhere...and what if someone saw the pattern (passenger), do you think I would give someone a ride in my car, if I thought they were a threat to steal my car???

 

I think that might be a little overkill, but it would do the job. The only person to ever start your car would definately be you. Or you could just get two switches and hide them away for, fuel and ignition. And as long as they are hidden away well it would help somewhat. But with that setup you would probably have to have a fuel cell. Fun **** though.

jesus, i dont need all that, just to lazy to use the key, i want to push a button :-)

 

actually, the passenger side is power, not the drivers side, that is why you need an actuator

 

I want to feel like I'm getting ready for flight...preflight check.

F/P armed...Check
ACC?...Captain we better override...
Override ACC...Check
Firing up both rotors...firing both rotors Captain...Check
No small children or animals under vechile...None that can be seen Captain...Check

rofl.. how about if you forget the combination?
hmmm i seee you sitting all day trying all the combonations to the car..

Boss : " why you late ?"
rx-7 owner: " i forgot how to turn my car on.. "

yea....

 

I'm in BKK. Ask your friend if they know the former MDMA team?(the team broke down cos my friends stop racing, they sell 2JZ GTE VVTI Volvo, RB26, and 1JZ cefiro, therefore it left only my Seven as the main car, so we closed down the team) But I havn't heard of sicksecondz tho.

 

I think with all the work put in to designing it (wiring, truth tables, fabing the decoder with logic gates/muliplexors), it'd be pretty hard to forget. Plus I don't drive the FD to work (well when its really REALLY beautiful out)

(Kind-of like all work put into a hose job...now I can see images of where all the hoses go in my dreams -yuck-)

 

ROFLMAO!
