Above my left knee

I currently have an early model Greddy but am considering getting an a'pexi pen style timer whic will go in the same spot

apexi pen timer, above left knee just like sir-d's pic. you can get the apexi pens in black to make it less noticable.

Same as Sir-D's turbo timer - however mine sits in where the ash tray used to be in a 33.. than the dude made a piece of plastic to fit around the opening.. came standard with the car ..

in a 32 i'm not sure

Greddy Timer, Position behind the centre console (can't see it from the front).

i.e. Wires straight from the back of the steering wheel -> behind console, seems stock. If ever need to get it hand just goes down and its right there

Ashtray is good -> many people i know in 32's have it positioned there and certain authorities haveny been able to find it

mine isnt exactly discreet but i got a hks type 1 that sits atop my steering column, it has alot of time features like 1/4 mile, shift light, 0-100 etc so if i go somewhere and have a look i guess i need to see it

ben...

Pic says it all.

A turbo timer is a turbo timer is it not?

My one is like under the steering wheel

thats a hard one?!

Ive got a little perspex case attached to door handle on the outside of the car and its inside that . Ive also glued my boost controller to the rear number plate.

Hope this helps.

why do u guys need to hide them (from nz)?

[ross80]

Slightly less chance of theft and also its a red light for you if cops see it when they pull you over. They arnt too keen on gadgets the old donut boys

[ellie]

I've got an R32 and i moulded mine inside the ashtray so with the lid shut, "What turbo timer?". Flip it open and there it is.

[R32FOURDOOR]

ive got mine in my glove box.

but it used to be on velcro on my console so i could rip it off and put it ouda sight

[makaveli]

Hi Guys,

Under my cd player I have a little compartment with a flip back face, so I decided to install my turbo timer there.

The ashtray compartment is a good one although I couldnt put it there because my boost controller is there

Hope that helps

dont cops see that? I have a Pivot digital speedo on my dash and first thing cops ask me "is that a turbo timer?"

I have a HKS turbo timer and its behind the carpet in the footwell

[Evil]

i have a blitz fatt II to the left of the steering column... it's nice and small...

[Tangles]

Underneath the steering wheel, behind the plastic facia - well out of sight (impossible to be seen); oh, and SWITCHED OFF - switched it off upon delivery of the car, didnt even know it had one until I went to fill up and the car continually ran while I was putting in petrol (just a tad dangerous me thinks).

WTF do ppl need a turbo timer for? Wank factor I reckon.

[ross80]

I got mine plastic welded to my hubcap.

Tangles,

A turbo gets extreemley hot. Sometimes even glowing red.

Metal when it is hot should be cooled down gradually (on idle) not rapidley (turning car straight off).

Metal stretches and expands some what with heat and cooling it down to quick will make metal brittle, or crack, or worp.

Thats why my timer for example (apexi) is attached to the oxygen sensor. The more air that flows through it (eg. if your putting your foot down) the longer the automatic feature on the timer will keep the car on. I just set mine for a minimum of 30 sec and a max of 3 min, and the timer figures out how hard I have driven the car and sets accordingly.

Hope that helps
