Car Wont Turn Off :s

While i was at work today, i noticed that my car wouldn't turn off. I have a HKS turbo timer installed thats made to run for 1 min after the keys have been taken out. But today when i got to work i went inside and about half an hour later i came back and the car was still on. So i went out there and pushed the off button on the turbo timer, still no luck. nothing would turn it off. So i put it in first, and stalled it so it would stop, (only way i could think of other than fuses + battery)

Now, i had an alarm / immobiliser system fitted the day before, but it worked fine the day i had it put in. Would this have anything to do with it?

Opinion? Ideas?

Thanks guys

what everyone else has said, its most likely your alarm not working well with the turbo timer

and you dont really need to have the turbo timer sent for a minute. 10-15 seconds tops if your just street drivingand even then thats abit much. longer your cars running with the tt its easier for it to be stolen :s

Solution.. Have it removed.

You don't need it. UNLESS you drive like an idiot everywhere foot flat to the floor, pull up with your seat belt off and instantly turn the car off.

Over 7 years and 200,000+ km's I've never ran a turbo time and never had issues with coking and I've removed the turbo and oil lines to check. :D All clean as a whistle.

Everyone has made the valid point mate....you wont have that problem with a Greddy Unit lol.....yeah personally i have a TT installed but i sit in the car and wait for it to shut off anyway so now i dont see the point in getting that done.......and yeah 1 minute is way too long....i was told by my tuner that 30-40 secs maximum.....and with the greddy units the time goes up if you are doing a spirited hills driving or something......but most of the time it just stays at 30 secs

At the end of the day a tt isnt so much for your car not to overheat but to let the turbo cool down and not buckle the wheels!! We learnt the hard way on our race car after thrashing on the track and went to shut down straight away, but in saying this we were "thrashing hard" as you do on the track, so for everyday driving like prob the most of us we dont need them, wait 5-15 sec in the car when you pull up and then shut her down!!

on the road, simply dont boost into positive presure for the last 3mins, to let the turbo cool down naturally

I turned my TT off the 1st day I got the car. heaps of wires, so I wont remove it, but just keep it turned off.

(went to fill up after picking up the car from int.transport, 3mins later at petrol pump it finally turned off.... embarresing with the line up lol)

      Thoughts on this .. G35-1050 pulsar result

      Nope, still smaller rear, put on the 4inch exhaust and picked up power everywhere, ended up just shy of 800rwhp.   Didn't seem to be hitting any walls either, so perhaps could have pushed for more but all maybes and the fish that got away etc etc.

      This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.

      Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛

      Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it
