There are alot of alarms that would happily support a turbo timer, if you already have an alarm then you should ask the installer for some advise.

I have been told that the most pain in the backside to be compatible with car alarms are the blitz turbo timer.. I have used a apexi TT (Turbo Timer) pen style type with a mongoose alarm (?) before and its dodgy ass... it needed a relay so that it can lock up the doors while the turbo timer happily hums away. I have a baby pivot TT with a brunt alarm and they both works happily...

Alot of people already mentioned about the legality about it, just depends on which officer that you get pulled over.

On the automatic/non automatic part.. I assume you are referring to TT that can sense how hard you have been driving the car and adjust the timer accordingly instead of ones where you set a time.. Again The apexi one you need another plug in (or whatever you call it) wouldnt get it.. the pivot one rocks.. it lets you set two normal non-auto timer (mine is set to 5 min and 10 min.. I use the 10min one to warm the car) and the auto part (I use this normally when driving).

If you have a turbo, I would recommend you to get a turbo timer, as a health thing for your turbo. :( Remember a few things....

1) make sure the handbrake part is hooked up (what this does is, if the turbo timer is counting down and handbrake is released the turbo timer shuts off, good as an anti theft)

2) if you have an alarm, make sure you ask the alarm installer on what turbo timer they would recommend that would work/compatible with your alarm

A good one is when you can lock the door while the turbo timer is running, an alarm that has a build in turbo timer or an alarm that is dual staged like the nemesis.

Just me 10c worth.. :wave:

Well done

My combo was the Apexi TT and viper alarm and worked a treat, locked the car while the TT was running the imobilised the engine once it stoped. a full walkaway system

>_<

Yeah ill definetly get a turbo timer, when i get my turbo car. And i have a stocko alarm system but it is pretty descent and a stocko imobiliser. So ill have to find something compatible, and i want a full walkaway system aswell lol. I dont care legal or illegal.

Hey hey, for such a dumb thread its been viewd more then 250 times. Just cause its dumb to you doesnt mean its dumb to some other people, not all of us on this site are car experts. :)

cry cry cry,

i got slaughtered for asking dumb questions when i first came on here,

most of us have done it, who cares. if someone says its a pointless question, just build a bridge and get over it. and its been viewed 250 times because its title is 'what is this thing called, and how much', it is a very broad topic title

and anna no to snap and swear at me either!

Just because you got "slaughtered" that does not mean you have to do the same to others too, being on the receiving end you should already know what it feels like. :wave:

as far as i knew the turbo timer is legal.. as long as u dont go 20 metres (car outa sight) untill it turns off..... Pfftt..

i have a question too.....

    • Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too. 
    • Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.
    • Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.

    • Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
