What to kill, with my killswitch

Post by **xns** » Wed May 19, 2004 6:53 pm

Ok, so I just went out and bought a bunch of stuff from radio shack to make the magnetic kill switch described here:http://www.autospeed.com/cms/a...9&P=1

and Im wondering what to have the switch affect, and also where I can find the magnetic reed switch.

if you are trying to get your car from getting stolen, I’ll do fuel pump

Wire it into the +12V going to the fuel pump.

Ummm... electronics store for the reed switch I think? Ask the guy at the desk if they have them, if not, they might at least know where to get them. I'm about to do this same setup myself, so that's where I'm going to look first.

If you want to be extra safe, kill the ignition and fuel pump.

Check the FSM. You should be able to splice a switch betweenany ignition wire.

If you do fuel pump alone, the person might just sit there andcrank the hell out of your engine.

Which means your car isn't going anywhere.

I was able to buy something like a reed switch though I dont know if it works with magnets, it doesnt look like the switch in the pic in the DIY so...

I saw a magnetic reed switch at a local Fryz for about 15-20 bucks.

It also means dead starter+battery.

Yes, but if someone's been in your car, the last thing you're gonna worry about is if the battery is still charged. And I don't see how it would kill the starter...

Think about it, the starter is a mechanical thing as well, and if some moron was over running the piss out of it, you'd think it would give (especially on a 14 year old car)

Post by **Touchdown038** » Wed May 19, 2004 6:53 pm

Nah, I don't think it would give, unless the robber didn't wait for the motor to stop turning before turning the key again. Most early 90s 240s don't have their stock starters anyways, and hell, I've cranked mine for thirty seconds at a time a number of times, and it hasn't given up on me since I've had the car.

the on position for the ignition. kills everything.

Post by **[Zero-S]** » Wed May 19, 2004 6:53 pm

^^Good idea.

Alright touchdown, you win.

That really is a good idea. Most thieves aren't smart enough to figure out the wiring in time for somebody to see them.

Post by **Gonad** » Wed May 19, 2004 6:53 pm

This should help anyone figure out what wires to tap into for the kill switch.

Holy man that is nice!

EDIT: Am I the only one who's not seeing the fuel pump fuse or anything fuel related on there?

Post by **jdmfreak** » Wed May 19, 2004 6:53 pm

WOW that thing confused the hell out of me!

one time for the overwhelming diagram

Post by **Gonad** » Wed May 19, 2004 6:53 pm

Here's the fuel pump wiring diagram

I <3 FSMs

Post by **Gonad** » Wed May 19, 2004 6:53 pm

FSM if anyone is interested

I have been searching for a place to download the manual for the SOHC for years it seems. I always find it after it's been taken down. Thanks a million Gonad.

Post by **niznos** » Wed May 19, 2004 6:53 pm

Ummm, I just downloaded that FSM for the SOHC and my search continues. THE ONE LABELED 89-90 IS ACTUALLY THE EUROPEAN/ AUSTRALIA MODEL 200SX. I am starting to think that no one actually has the 89-90 manual on line at all.

Post by **xns** » Wed May 19, 2004 6:53 pm

Do you know if there is that much of a difference in parts and descriptions for the 89-90 manual? It seems pretty on target, and considering that it is labled s13 series it would make sense that they are pretty much interchangeable when it comes to engine stuff. Maybe Im horribly wrong I just dont know...

Post by **[Zero-S]** » Wed May 19, 2004 6:53 pm

S13 chassis and most parts are the same. Its the engine thats different. So as long as you're just looking for electrical/mechanical diagrams for the car itself you should be straight.

Post by **xns** » Wed May 19, 2004 6:53 pm

awesoooome good to know, maybe we should repost those links and get a moderator to lock them

Post by **[Zero-S]** » Wed May 19, 2004 6:53 pm

Thats four threads in a row xns...trying to whore much;)

Actually, I think nico needs to start hosting those elusive FSMs, and just make a sticky for them.
