welcome to the forum, unfortunately i have no idea what a primera is, i dont know if it is its own model of car or it is just a renamed car that is sold everywhere.

is the existing alarm system a factory alarm or is it aftermarket? if it is aftermarket then it will likely make installing a new alarm much easier because the wires will already be found for you, that is unless whoever installed it didnt know what they were doing.

also, if you dont have a digital volt meter or a decent soldering then dont attempt to install any alarm. the volt meter is necessary for you to be able to test and verify the function of any wires before you tap onto them. not using a volt meter can cost you your car if you tap onto the wrong wire. even professional installers who have done the same car 1000 times will still test their wires, a wiring guide can sometimes be wrong too so that is why it very very important that you know how to test the wires.

While it was never offered in the U.S. market, the closest thing to use as a reference / starting point would be the Infinity G20. These were only 4 door sedans in the U.S. and never offered with a diesel engine. Here is a link to some wire guide info on the G20 : https://diagrams.marktoonen.nl/printlist.aspx?MakeID=22&ModelID=14330

Soldering is fun!

FYI Started out as the Stanza and like Toyota some years later with the Carina Nissan built a purpose built factory in the UK to make it.
The build quality was so good they exported it from the UK back to Japan and hence on to Oz.
I did an install on its smaller brother about 2 years ago didn't take notes so please don't ask for wire colours, it's all down to testing on your part.
Very simple though I think you'll find it has a 1 wire ground (earth) and open circuit lock control. (yellow/red or RED / yellow) in loom from driver's door.
Split the white light output via a pair of 1N5404 diodes up to the hazard switch, test there for left and right indicators.
There will also be an ignition source there for your yellow Viper wire.
Don't bother with the immobiliser part, the vehicle has a built in factory transponder. Car key will have a red part to it.
Green to domelight feed, the wire that goes to ground when you open a door.
I'm winging this one aren't I Kreg, it's not a problem vehicle for a pro but I think from the way it's been explained, " but i duno how to install it in my car! Could anybody help me a little pls?" [sic]
In the old days I'd volunteer no info and strongly advise Mike to seek professional help. Not that seems to be too much of that in Oz from what I've seen on the forum.

Stanza became Bluebird in the UK and Altima in the US, Bluebird became the Primera.
Just looked at DEI, there's sparse info.
You will need a relay for the yellow/red type F locks.
If opening the tailgate brings on the courtesy (dome or interior) lights then a door trigger is all you need.

Yeah, thats what i thougt, cuz i googled much but didnt find anything about the primera.

Sure, i got a voltimeter and also a wiring station where i can adjust the temp.

The nats system/engine immobilizer causes me quite a headache, or isnt it a problem! And what about the rc of the car itself? Are they still useable?

Did you even read my my post where I wrote " Don't bother with the immobiliser part, the vehicle has a built in factory transponder."???
It's irrelevant to the alarm, only if you were installing a remote start.
and yes you can still use the factory fob with its limited range but why bother? do what I did and remove from your keys.
Get a decent 12 volt test light, all you need for this car, also look at the relay section here, 1 wire or type 5 locks.

Sure dude, ive read your post, but i didnt really know what u meant with this! But this sounds coool :-))! I dont need remote start, wouldnt know for what lol...

What about the ultrasharpsensors of the built in alarmsystem? Can i combine them with the viper?

No and what's the point of adding an alarm system to an existing factory unit?

Do you mean why i want to install the viper? Cuz my car doesnt got any comfort functions like closing the windows when i lock it...

And neither will the Viper without a pair of 529t's.
You are in so far over your head.

yea man, you want the alarm to close the windows when you arm the alarm then you are talking about a bunch more work, each window needs to be interfaced manually through a single device per every two windows. its not just a wire you hook up to to close the windows, its one of the more advanced features you can hook up to an alarm that a lot of seasoned installers dont care to play with if they dont have to. definitely not part of any standard installation.

Yeah, thats what i thought cuz this feature isnt described somewhere in the viper install guide. Whats this 529t's thingy? Viper in combination with this thinger id be able to auto close the windows when i lock the car?

Surprisingly enough it's a window closer thingy.

yes the 529 is a window closer thingy made by the same company that makes viper, DEI. in theory it doesnt sound that hard, you just have to tap onto the existing window motor wires and find somewhere to give power to the module. each 529 will work two windows. in practice however these can be a real pain to install because a lot of times you have to run the wires directly into the door to the master switch or find the wires for each motor somewhere else in the car, and this is also complicated again because theres not much information on your car so everything will have to be found and tested by you.

I've done it all on the slightly smaller European version but the wiring was identical.
For a pro it's easy, just use your multimeter/test light.
You need to run to the hatch to pick up trunk trigger and you will need a hood pin-switch.
I mounted the 529t x 2 in the driver's door, no sweat.
Locks are a one wire ground and break system (type F).
This is the problem, our OP is an absolute beginner with no idea how to proceed or from his language any competency to do so.
How do you explain to him how to pick up the indicators (non-US so not lights) or how to wire the relay for the locking system.
Also there's a pre-existing alarm on the car, again according to the OP with "very sharp sensors". What's the point.
This is either going to run to the record post or be the ultimate take it to a pro.

I could give him a blow-by-blow how to but we're not paid to teach, we just advise.

id still try to give someone the benefit of the doubt until it becomes clear that its hopeless. id also still recommend taking the car to a professional.
