Hey guys,

Went about installing my Greddy turbo timer into my car which I bought equipped with a M80 Mongoose alarm.

Turbo timer shuts off when the ignition is turned off, which is understandable as the M80 has the turbo timer function set to off as default.

I went about turning the ignition on/off the required number of times with the drivers door open, to access the alarms contols, and after I did the right amount of on/offs, nothing happened (indicators ment to flash etc).

I tried to do the same again and turn the beeps on/off without any avail.

Thinking of taking to a local dealer who has done some other audio work on the car. Just thought I'd see if anyone else had a similar issue.

Every other function works with the car.

there is a 5 sec time window to get into program mode. turn EVERYTHING in the car OFF before you start programming it. then start the routine. turn the key quickly when doing it and at the end you will get chirps & flashes, in the last one press button one.

if the timer is connected UNPLUG IT.

this will allow the alarm to arm with the timer you have in the car - IT DOES NOT TAKE THE PLACE OF IT! :(

once you get it set up plug the timer back in start the car wait a few minutes then turn the key off, timer counts down - press and hold button 1. you will get a chirp . opening the car with the key will set the alarm off and shut the car down.

if you get that result it works :D

The problem is that when you start the programming sequence you basically have a window of only 15 seconds to turn the ignition on and off the number of times for the feature, and for features down the list like the turbo timer function which is number 13 means you have to turn the ignition on and off 13 times in 15 secs of opening the door. So it has to be quick. If your turbo timer is on then it obviously holds the ignition on, preventing the programming working properly.

This is especially so with the Greddy Timers as even when they are set to the off position they actually stay on for .5 of a second after the ignition is switched off, hence this adds .5 of a second to each time you turn the ignition on and off. You dont necessarily have to disconnect the timer but just do the programming fast :) or to make it easier you can disconnect the timer till its programmed correct :mage:

      Pillar gauges

      See, that button sounds like perfection Duncan! My eyes really don't like light shining at them from a dash when I'm driving. Being part red colourblind, I've found for most cars that I can change colours on, I set everything to red, so my eyes see the elast amount of colour! I miss normal gauges in cars

      bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr 路 Posted

      Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 馃檪  I know what it looks like

      Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
