Hi all does anyone know what this sensor is on the driver side, is it standard? 1993 390zx NA

Not standard but I would guess its a crudely positioned sensor for an alarm.

Guess i need to trace wires and see what they lead to, hopefully a pot of gold ;)

 

Thanks

thats an infrad red remote sensor for the oem dearler option alarm system for the 89-93 models. very rare but are somewhat outdated technology. i installed one of these alarm systems in my z and it take a few pushes of the remote to get the car unlocked which can be annoying some times. i have the original install manual the dealers would have used to install it into customers cars.

 

if you decide you dont want it, i would be interested in purchasing the whole system from you if your planning to remove it.

Thanks for the info there, it would be great to see that manual for nostalgia purposes if you have a scan?

Thank you for the info much appreciated, plan is to keep it for now but when i bought the car it did not come with a fob so not sure if it even works

 

If I do.decide remove it will let you know but if you do have the manual in digital format that would be great

Are you sure? My copy of a Japanese '89 brochure has this:

That’s the same location with a photo from a different angle? In your pic the door is closed and the window open, the pic is taken from just outside the car, in line with that vent.

The sensor looks exactly like the one on the brochure

Your right - with a bit of photo enhancement I can now see the light!

 

 

For reference the kit was H0560-40P00 and these are the elements that make up the kit:

 

 

What are the chances that this would work?

unfortujately no those remotes wont work as they are microwace based remotes. you need an infa red remote that you need to point directly at that door sensor reciever.

Do you know where i could.get a fob from?

if i knew that i would have brought a bunch of them ill post up the kit i installed later tonight but its a very basic looking fob with only 1 button and 1 little red led to indicate when you press the button to unlock the car.

The part number for the infra red fob is H0569-89900 used in the H0560-40P00 kit.

 

The part is listed here but may be NLA:

The installation quide (in Japanese) for the H0560-40P00 kit is here:

if your looking for more information here is a link to the original thread i posted on here last year when i purchased the kit from japan.

At the time of that thread i hadnt found that installation guide that was posted above, so i managed to wire half of the system via the stereo shroud clock wiring loom and for the time being the system works for locking and unlocking the car remotely.

 

i am still yet to finish the install of the alarm part of the system which with the install guide i now know where to slice the remaining wires to to complete the installation of the entire system. i just need to find time to pull the doors apart and a little under the dash over the next few months and once its done ill post my results on here.

Re the ebay link in post 11, I bought one of those but straight out the box it doesn't work, I do doubt it's a fob issue - it's more probably how an aftermarket Toad one is wired up which is stopping it working.

Hi mate thanks for this, I have the same issue with the driver side door where it does a 360 so was looking to get it working, do you want to sell me one of your remotes? :)

hi mate unfortunately i just cant sell you my spare remote i need both remotes incase one dies on me in the future. and even if i did the remote would need to be recalibrated to your systems infa red signal which i wouldnt have a clue how to do that.

 

i think the best option for you to try is to try and find a universal infa red remote that you can set the infa red frequency and if you can find you systems specific frequency code the you dont need an oem remote.
