GTS-t VSPEC Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 I don't know, but it is quite easy to pull apart so might be worth having a look See'ya:burnout: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/11097-turbo-timer/page/2/#findComment-196837 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTS-t VSPEC Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 The point is so that you can't accidentaly remove the key whilst driving, the solenoid prevents you removing the key, otherwise there would be the potential for a car doing 100km/hr without the car being on, scary.

int21h Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 Well, that function came in handy for me the other night. 3 guys tried to jump me in my car and rip my keys out. But because it wasn't in park, they couldn't get the keys out, and I had my seat belt on, so they couldn't pull me out. Once one of the guys hit me, i just turned the car on and took off. Anyhow, yes i've looked unter there, but is it worth cutting a wire that you're not 100% on?

Guest ReaLiTy Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 My car's alarm works well with my HKS Turbo Timer, but the turbo time will turn itself off as soon as my hand brake is taken off...

int21h Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 Originally posted by MetBlue_GTST Damn!!! You alright???? WHere abouts did that happen??? Happend in Bunbury, underneith son of rajab forrest car park. Walking to my car with my g/f around 1am on Sunday morning (Sat night), i hear these chicks shout out "shannon, shannon, heres the guy you wanna smash" blah blah... I hopped in my car, started to drive off. 3 Guys walk up, order me out of the car, opened my door, tried ripping me out. but i had my seatbelt on. Meanwhile one guy had turned the car off, and couldn't get the keys out. While the other guys had me half out the door, one guy hit me and gave me a black eye. So i managed to start the car, drive to the cop shop. But it was closed, and so i called them. They advised me to go to the hospital and get a report. Then come back in the morning, because they were too busy. So I did, I described the guys, and they knew exactly who they were. Not until a week and a bit later, a cop calls me and lets me know one of the guys has been charged with assault. And will get back to me about the other guy who actually hit me. Nearly been 4 weeks since the incident and the cop still hasn't called me back. The guy was after me, because i apparently did burnouts infront of his house. Which is a total load of shit. And thats his reason. Had i been dragged out of the car, i'd still be in hospital.

bully Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 Rule no 1 always lock you car doors when in the car in areas of doubt - i do this in Northbridge etc This is the reason while central locking/ unlocking is being phased out in newer cars in europe, where pressing the button only opens the drivers door as car jackers are hoping in the passenger side as you get in. Glad to hear you are ok and remind me not to do burnouts in Bunbury Anyhow i like my $30 turbo timer thanks kym Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/11097-turbo-timer/page/2/#findComment-198781 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nizmo Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 My passenger door automatically locks itself after 15secs of starting the vehicle haha confuses people when they are trying to get out of my car - was under the impression that every line did this? Ive heard that you can buy a turbo timer n boost controller in one. True or False? Just heard it off a mechanic i used to work with but ive never seen one. If i can get it in the one unit i would look at putting one in.

int21h Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 Well, I could of done alot of things to prevent it. I stopped for a start, and wound down the window. I really thought it was mistaken identity, but this guy just had it in for me, and i believe he still does. Hes assaulted 2 cops while holding up Blockbuster once. So the cops know him well. Hes not all there upstairs. I'm still considering a restraing order aswell. But that means i gotta go to the courthouse and stand before a madistrate.

BoOsTeD_RB26 Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 Sh!t man not good. I'd do whatever it takes to try and stop this freak from assaulting you again. Hope you get it sorted 'n' best of luck Anyways I like the idea of a turbo timer but I must admit it doesn't get used that often. _Daniel Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/11097-turbo-timer/page/2/#findComment-198898 Share on other sites More sharing options...
