Turbo Timers!

[Krishy]

yeah thats what i meant....

[rubzy]

whoops, yeah...that's what i thought...b funny if someone reading this thought they actually needed to put in a kill switch though and went out and got one of those missile switch things installed for it...haha

[Krishy]

yeah sorry about the misleading info there.....my timmer is hooked up to my alarm and handbrake.....and the immobiliser is a good one too....but a lot of people dont realise it and dont get the handbrake part done....which is stupid from what i think....

[rubzy]

it is pretty stupid, i think that most ppl these days install TTs to the handbrake anyway, figured it was a kinda must do thing.

+1 Madaz

+1 Simon-32

No issue with peeps that have them but if you're looking to fit one, save ya dosh for something under the bonnet.

[Krishy]

yeah i agree with you sled....you dont need timmers....just have to wait a few seconds before you can turn your car off....

oh btw Ruby one of my windows takes about 5 secs to wind up so sure i could mutli task and flick all the buttons @ once and wind all windows up in about 6.5secs (when you use all motors @ once windows take a fraction longer) but i prefer to just wind each window by itself so 5sec x 4 windows = 20 secs extra from finding my car park then get my phone and wallet another 8 secs and car is ready to turn off thats assuming ive fanged the living crap out of it to the entrance of aforementioned car park

[nos man]

i quite like sitting in my car so i just stay in there for a few or get out and have a smoke!

From what I remember Nissan has recommended idle times for

city, motorway, etc, before switching engine off.

I think they were roughly 1 minute for city, 3 minute for motorway.

Also on the R32 they had a rocker switch on the dash (next to

steering wheel) which has a turbo symbol on it. I presume this

was a factory turbo timer????

yrs ago when i raced turbo holden sixes at speedway tt wernt even heard of what we used to stop hot shutdowns plus if ya crashe and hit the wall at full song and the the motor stopped good bye turbo lol.

we had a litre container that the oil feed line fed into with a one way valve then it went to the turbo so waht happened when the motor was running there was always a litre of oil in the container under engine oil preassure the one way valve stoppe the oil draining it back so when the motor was turned off or stalled the oil preasure in the container would force some of the oil in the container thru the feed line to the turbo thus ensuring the turbo had oil

going thru it while it was slowing down.

u could buy some already made it was called a nycal turbo lube system and was quite expensive but after i fig out how it worked i made my own never had a turbo faliure in the next 3 seasons b4 that i was killing a turbo or 3 every season
