DatsunDave09's New Start/Stop Ignition system for Datsuns

[two_68_510s]

Hi, I wanted to mention, considering all the research and fiddling I have had to do to make my attempt at a circuit similar to this, $170 with all the stuff is a good price,
I have spent many hours working it out! Just the circuit analysis alone.....then add RFID to the mix..

[okayfine]

But I've NEVER gone out of my way to cut-down, criticize, and make someone feel as unwanted as you've done in the last few posts.

Well, sure, except for your next paragraph. Oh, and your last paragraph...but, yeah, besides that, of course not...

Obviously, you're broke, have been screwed over in the past and don't like new things in your classic car. I'm sorry about that, I really am.

Hey Pot, this is Kettle, you're black.

"Understand this" - I'm not knocking your product so much as your approach. Your ad reads like a copywriter's wet dream, and, IMO, is full of useless hyperbole. I find it insulting.

But if you were to offer the Datsun world something, other than your criticism, I'm willing to bet that the people of this site would NOT knock you down every step of the way, like you've done to me.

"This site" isn't knocking you down every step of the way, either, chief. I don't represent this site any more than any of the other members of The Realm do, and more have posted in favor of your product. So get off your high "hurt me" horse. I gave you "props" for the kit, and I'm interested in some good rear LED replacements...or did you not actually read what I wrote?

So have great week. I know I will. Because as I sit here, working at home, running a successfull Home based business, surrounded by a loving family and great friends, I know in my heart that my Life is in NO way, as miserable as yours must be.

Way to go out on a high note. I didn't belittle you. I did belittle your ad. There is a difference.

Thanks guys. The high road is always best. I am a father of 5 and married to a beautiful woman with full blown Epilepsy. The chances of the kids doing or saying someting that would normally drive the average person nuts, is pretty high. The chance of my wife going into a full Grand Mal Seizure, at any given time of day is also way up there. I'm running a business at home, watching 4 of the 5 kids (one moved out) and keeping a constant eye on my wife. To say "I OOZE Patience" is an understatement. So I let a lot of crap slide.

For those of you who don't know of me, here's a quick run down. Some of it has been mentioned but here it is again........

20+ year owner of Datsuns (1. 510 and 4. 240Z's and 1. 260)

MECP Certified 12 Volt Specialist
Ex Car-Toys Installer and previous Installer of the month (out of 800+ Installers) They wanted quantity, I wanted Quality. I quit.
DIY'r who finds it hard to accept help when offered. I put a lot of weight on my own shoulders but that's who I am and what I do. Not sorry for that. (idle hands and all that)
Great listener, occational rambler. I try and get everything on the page at once and occasionally repeat myself. So sorry for that.

Julian. All I heard is "I gave you "props" for the kit, and I'm interested in some good rear LED replacements" And that's great. Happy to help. I'll get ahold of Frank in Everett and see if he'll lend me a few different taillight housing and see what I can do for LED's in the taillights. A brighter car is a safer car.

BTW, Every statement, by every member IS a representation of the site. When someone vists the site, and they see members knocking each other, Their idea of the site is lessened and probably thinking "Great, another site with peole fighting back and forth, NEXT" So yes, I WILL defend myself and my products, as will 1000's of my customers. Though I won't invite them here to add to the fight. I'll just treat ya like one of my kids and choose to ignore you till you have something nice to say. And I did read the whole post. But the Negative outweighed the positive, so I ignored it.

Can we move on yet? Or is this what I should come to expect from you. I hope not. We may need each others help someday, and I'd hate to look back and remember that you were kind of a Dick at first. Say la vee move on.

Hey Dave, you're doing it wrong. Continuing to insult and attack me the person isn't going to get anything to blow over, and I'm shocked you think you can call me a dick and expect me to sit back and take it. You seem to have too much emotion wrapped up in your "product" so that when someone is critical of your product or presentation (and not you the person) you see it as an attack on you, your character, or whatever. Doesn't make it true, and the facts do speak otherwise.

If your skin is this thin, I'm surprised you lasted this long in the world. Feel free to reread this thread from post #2 and see where it actually went wrong, see where the personal attacks ACTUALLY started. The world isn't all rainbows and kitten farts; you seem to indicate that only kind of posts you'll be happy with are ones that praise your product. Opinion flies in every-which way, and since this isn't your board and it isn't my board, we're both entitled to our opinions and entitled to post our opinions until the powers that be deem otherwise.

Now, if you actually want to do something for the Datsun community, document your product and install procedure with part numbers, photos, and wiring diagrams, and I'll run it in DQ. Sure, some people may choose to do it themselves, but some will buy the product from you (especially if your pricing is all-that as you indicate). If you can substantiate people locking keys in 510s as common, or people getting carjacked for their 40-year-old Japanese econobox actually happens, then that's cool. If not, do cut the hyperbole.

So, there, a peace offering. Deal?

Dave,

In case you didn't know Okayfine (Julian) is the editor of the Dime Quarterly (DQ)

After seeing the diagram with the wiring setup and watching the video, I can see where this would be a good replacement for the key switch. I hate that you lose the locking steering column though. Also, would it be possible to hook it up with a momentary magnetic micro switch instead of the current one. If so, the system would be dead until you passed a magnet by the hidden micro switch and then passing the magnet by the switch could activate the system.

The Micro switch could be tied into the start circuit so if someone did decide to try to hotwire the car, it would be much harder for them to do it. Just an idea.

Or is this what I should come to expect from you.

Yes

He does have good information and can help you out, but somestimes you just have to skip over post when you see it heading in the wrong direction.

[DatsunDave09]

let's see if I can figure out this photo posting thing.....

The label on the DZ-Start module was a tester for fit and only 1 label was made, but the color bar at the bottom is backwards. The labels on the finished units will be correct.




here's a link to the new Album of pictures.

This is how I see it... Can people post ideas and not be attacked and picked apart from all Fucking angles? Let DatsunDave09 have his say and not pick apart every sentence. FUCK! FUCK!

[goichi1]

I like it, I hate having to make sure I have the key in my had the right way before trying to stuff it in the switch, and when I drive the rest of the keys just rattle around, it's irritating most of the time and I have constantly repositioning them as I drive, this would definitely eliminate that. But I am not ready to buy it, I have too many other things going on right now.....like natural disasters and nuclear crisis at the moment!

My wife's Nissan Note has something similar, but you have to turn the part that the key goes in on the switch to start the car as long as you have the key fob in your pocket, and it has to be in the car, if you just hang it out the window it won't work, it's that picky, I would want all the door locks too, just pushing the little button on the door makes it sooo easy to lock/unlock the car, as long as you have the key fob in your pocket. Plus you could also insert the key in the switch and use it that way too. it's pretty cool. I have thought it would be good to find a wrecked car like this and get all the parts to put it in my car, but never got around to it.

This is a good point, Rich. I have the same issues.

I am starting to like this more and more. I just wish the column lock could be retained or that it had an RFID FOB like my Altima as a safety feature.

Next time you have any problems don't pm them... Address them on the main page so everyone can see.

Can't please everyone, I guess. Terry, wasn't the point of your bitching that you didn't like my posting in public? Yet in trying to address your issues with you via PM you demand I post in pubic about it? So confusing...

[TerryHackman]

okayfine... Piss off!

[okayfine]

Jees, Terry. Make up my mind. I PM you to keep it off the main pages and not derail this thread, but you demand I post in the public for some odd reason since it no longer has anything to do with this thread, yet when I do then you just tell me to piss off. Seems a bit...uncompromising, no?

[DatsunDave09]

WOW!!! So it's NOT just MY kids. In the words of Rodney King "Can't we ALL just get along???" Sniff sniff, sob sob.

Can we just get back on topic?
I'm here to meet new Datsun People, offer a product that they may or may not be interested in, offer installation of other 12 volt products (power door locks, power windows, alarms, keyless systems (locks and ignition) into Customers cars) to anyone who is close enough to visit and chat while I work on their car. It's what I do. I've made more friends than enemies in the Datsun world and would like to continue to do so if at all possible.

It's almost spring and close to summer. More and more of you are gonna be driving your Classics in the sun and might want to add a few goodies (whether is be a Necessity or Amenity) so I figured some of you might want to know that the service and products are available and fairly priced, by a guy who loves Datsun as much if not more than yourselves.

Terry,
Thanks for the Defence, even if it seems like spitting into the wind.

Julian,
Believe it or not, I appreciate what you have to offer the Datsun world. It was never my intension to start a fight, argue with a member or contribute to such heated discussions that may or may not offend some who are reading these posts. You're obviously a strong minded individual who values your opinion and I can appreciate that. Can we just drop the issues that seem to be heating up and get on the subject at hand?

I'm more than willing to try and answer any questions you have on the product, or about me. But can we leave it at a simple Q & A thread? Without it sounding like we're at each others throats? I can if you can.

With Much Respect for the Forum and it's Members,
Dave

[okayfine]

if you can.

With Much Respect for the Forum and it's Members,
Dave

Dave, I already proffered a peaceful post, but I can't see how you can believe what you wrote above, considering all your personal attacks against me. I'd settle with taking back your slams, and we can move on. I'd quote 'em, but who knows what will piss someone off these days

Hard to dictate direction of a thread, much less demand only posts of opinions that you agree with be posted. I didn't think the hyperbole was necessary, and actually was a disservice to your product, and posted as such. Others disagree, but the move from "no one carjacks 510s" to "obviously, you're broke" et. al, was all you, baby
