the go to whoa is where u start on a line, and have to go as fast as you can to another line, about 100 or so metres long, and your front tires have to stop on the other line.........if that makes sense

the dash for cash is like a mini obstacle course where u basically have to go as fast as you can, without mucking up, as there is a certain way you have to go around the course,and the lowest time wins

sounds like drag racing and motorkhana to me

When I brought my R33 GTS-T it came with an un-installed turbo timer... its been 6 months and I still haven't installed it.

I live in Tasmania were there is so many fkn bogan kunts getting around steeling cars I don't want it to make it any easier.

The one I have isn't the type of one were when you pull the hand break down it turns off and it wouldn't surprise me if a bogan smashed out my window while I was walking away from the car then extend the time on my turbo timer and drive off.

I was driving home at about 2am yesterday and saw a bunch of bogans walking down the road with sticks, then I saw a skyline with every window smashed out of it and the hole body was kicked to death. bonnet and boot broken off. The roof was all pushed in to hell, must have been jumping on it. I mean seriously can't the bogans just copy the emos and go kill them selves.

any way thats my 2cents, I am not retarded enough to need something to keep my car running for me, just drive it easy for the last km before you get home and you don't have to worry about it.

in the end it is a personal choice on whether you want to have an auto timer in your car or not, i mainly got it cause it did save me alot of money due to me wanting gauges which were gonna cost me 600.

once again, i believe its a personal choice

you're right it's personal choice - but the reasons mentioned by a few people before about cooling down to 'treat the engine better' were false.

this place is all about teaching/learning; now people can learn all the pros and cons about having a turbo timer on their na vehicle. :glare:

What about for motorkhana's? I was thinking about getting one to be used for motorkhana's only. During daily driving I would just turn it off, as said before, its just wank factor. During these sort of events, however, you turn your car on, thrash it around the track, and then go park. No such thing as a cool down lap. As soon as you come off, the next guy goes. Don't like the idea of just turning it off then. Every time I go for a lap, I'll park and let my car idle for a minute just to calm it down before shutting it off. A turbo timer could do this for me. :D

Would that make sense? or is idling after that still pointless?

its teh multifunctional :)

and it glows blue :D

plus its got other goodies - and quite good for the price...only 120 or so

haha

everything else i have seen - ie multifunction displays that display 0-400, 0-100kays etc - were more expensive then one of these greddy turbo timers.....

CASE CLOSED! :) - personal choice

pro's = visual readings (for those who need them)

= good to cool down turbo's (what they are designed for)

= look cool :laughing-smiley-014:

= reasonably cheap

Con's = excessive ideling

= can cause more damage on N/A car

= can be easiler to steal :) (especially one without the saftey unit [handbrake])

= can cause problems with other electronics in the car

Myth busted that cooling down to 'treat the engine better' IS NOT 100% true.

- soory havn't added all here -

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
