you can buy these adaptors plug things where u plug it into your ignition barrel and it comes with a universal plug that goes to your turbo timer. so all u need to do is wire the earth and the hand brake wire. i paid 20bucks for mine.

Hi StevenCJR31 - correct me if i am wrong but they are legal as long as they are part of the alarm/emmobiliser and can be shut down upon someone trying to steal/break into the car.. I have this and i passed the pits with it.

Hi Lyndon, i asked the legality of TTs a while ago on this forum and was sent a link to the DPI website citing why they werent legal . . .dont quote me on this but it was something to do with leaving the car running while you werent in it (??)anyways whatever the legalities are the TTs arent needed with modern day turbos and as stated above dont fang the car for a few mins before turning it off (F&F style!)and it will be fine

It's a grey area if installed professionally they link it to your handbrake so if it gets put down the car shuts off you can link them into your alarm/ immobilizer but it's a lot of hassle/ extra wiring I do agree on not hammering your car for the last few mins of your drive but it's you car you shouldn't hammer it anyway but in saying that the turbo will not cool down effectively while under load I would rather pay the $50 bucks for a timer than 200- some stupid expensive number for a new turbo and whatever else goes to shit if it goes kaput just my opinion you invest alot in you car time money etc so why not look after it properly

      Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.

      I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.

      I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.
