The only turbo timer that I'd bother with is the Blitz Fully Automated or Dual Turbo timer. They are the only ones on the market that use boost sensing & running time to determine how long they have to time out for.

A friend of mine installed it in his 200SX & it was great, if you were taking it easy it would shut off within 10 seconds, but if you'd been thrashing the crap out of it, the time would shoot up and then start counting down again straight away while you were on the move. I could time out as high as nearly a couple minutes just from hard driving. Handy if you need to take off in a hurry.

Be warned though, they are illegal so make sure you hide it well but easily shut down too if the cops pull you over.

As far as working with an immobiliser is concerned it depends on your system. A good immobiliser will actually detect went the timer shuts the engine off & then fully immobilise the engine so it can't be started again. A bad set up will just bypass the immobiliser, making it easy for theives.

If u were taking it easy there would be no need to have it running at all.

I did have a HKS automatic one, had a built in electronic boost gauge, ended up giving it away as i waas worried about getting defected for it, turns out with my new turbo i need one as my new turbo is only oil cooled which takes alot longer to cool down.

      It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in

      No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.

      @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣

      Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
