Item: Trust/Greddy Full Auto Timer Turbo&NA. (Silver with blue LCD)

Location: Sydney

Item Condition: Brand new (literally)

Reason for Selling: Surplus to requirements.

Price and Payment Conditions: $100 + post/pickup.

Contact Details: PM me.

The short story: I was given this timer by Autobarn because they screwed up an order I had with them.

The long story: I ordered some parts from Autobarn last year. The order took forever to arrive so as a sorry gift I was given a Greddy Full Auto Timer. I sold that to a forum member, only to find out that the item was broken. I immediately refunded their money and had them send the timer back. It sat on the shelf for a couple of months as I didn't have time to get out to my nearest Autobarn during work hours (because it was a gift, I had no invoice so they had to call someone at Autobarn HQ before they could refund it, thus I had to go during normal work hours). Anyway, I finally got around to swapping it over about a fortnight ago.

What it does: In laymans terms it keeps your car running after you have removed the key for a preset period and thus oil and water continue to circulate and cool down key mechanical components and thus improves longevity. This unit is quite fully featured and includes a bunch of other gizmos (see below).

What the manufacturer says about it: The basic function of a turbo timer is to allow the vehicle to idle the engine for a timed period, with the ignition key removed. This allows the engine oil and turbo center cartridge to cool down and prevent internal turbo damage. GReddy Full Auto Timers pack tons of features into one economical, compact unit. In addition to two standard programmable count down presets (P-1, P-2), the GReddy Full Auto Timer also has two auto timer modes (A-L, A-H). The modes estimate the driving RPM according to the vehicles alternator signal and then recommend a count down time. Also new are the stopwatch/lap time and attack modes along with a built in voltmeter and speedometer. Still standard are the optional parking brake and speedo safety hook-ups.

Here is a photo from Trust's site. If people are genuinely interested and want some photos of the actual item, I'll unpack it and take some photos, but its just like this photo except in an orange box ;)

Just a heads up Lucien - these are being sold for $119 by a forum trader (and that includes postage):

ill give u $80 plus postage =)

I would prefer closer to $110, but I guess I could have my arm twisted to $100 + post/pickup. If anyone has a roll of unused heat wrap, I would be interested in a swap too.

tell me wen u decided to sell it for $80 =)

Ever heard of the saying "too much of a good thing"? The RRP is about A$140. You can get them for about $120 online. I'm selling for $100. You are welcome to pay 20% or 40% more if you like.

If all else fails, I might try ebay. Or alternatively, I might install it on my family's 1960 tractor for a bit of a laugh.

      49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.

      Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf

      Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.

      Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.

      Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
