hi all

as ive found out everyone here pretty much knows everythin bout these cars lol but ive had mine for just about 2 weeks and there seems to be sum little problems that are really getting to me and im finding new one nearly everyday

i have a feeling most of these are wiring problem but maybe sum of you have come across this stuff

ok first one is i have an apexi turbo timer.. and when i turn my car off and the turbo timer starts counting down at about 1.34 the car starts beeping and hazard lights flash assif an alarm has been enabled one thing is i have no friggen alarm.

2nd one is just today when i was going into the car wash the car just started going mental as in when i swithed it off and turbo timer came on the hazards and every light on the dash started flashing and the car was shaking heard of this but onc ei turned the turbo timer off the car didnt do it.

3rd one is when i turn right SOMETIMES my horn goes off for no reason i dont press it but it just beeps for a quick second but only when i am turning sharp right.

4th one is just noticed this tonight, since the turbo timer has been off from this afternoon, my steering wheel has started clunking like if you are for example driving through a maccas drive thru with a few bends and you have to turn the steering wheel pretty sharply it clicks assif its locking but unlocking right away really weird.

and lucky last this is prob an general problem my kenwood dvd player when the music is too loud it just turns itself off and then turns itself back on.

i keep thinkin i need an exorcist clear the problem of this possed mofo... i will be ringing the ex owner tomorrow because byt the look of it there has been some shit wiring done

thank you very much in advance guy i would really appreciate some help/advice on what to do...im guessing getting rid of the turbo timer

thanks :)

Jay

I'd definitely get rid of the timer Jay, it sounds like more trouble than its worth.

An auto electrician having a look at the electrics wouldnt hurt either, just to get a better opinion

yeah get rid of the tt, they are a nusence and there crap anyway.... all they do is expose the wires you need to hot wire the car, makes it too easy for the car thieves....

i got mine buit into my alarm system, dont have to worry about exposed wires, insurance voiding pay out if its stolen, wont get defected for it.....

A couple of things.

Stay away from sydney - Get an alarm if your already here. Get one with a turbo timer built in! Alot of skylines go missing, please listen to this advice.

The horn is due to it grounding when you turn, you need to take the wheel off to fix it. The clicking may be related.

Get a pro to do the horn if you have an airbag attached.

Sound system has protection mode, this means it has in built amp and turns off to avoid frying speakers (if amp cant power them they melt) or secondly to avoid frying itself. This is often related to air flow so tie up the cables behind it, obviously it may be over heating

Cheers

      Brake pad Compound suggestion

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Initial/early bite is a feature of.....generic pads. Things that work cold. Just put Bendix Ultimate in it. If you don't like them, it's only $3.50 wasted and an hour to change them. I've been using Intima SR, and they seem to be a good performance pad. Street friendly and able to take at least a little beating.

      Brake pad Compound suggestion

      By Vee37 · Posted

      As I implied in my post, I have NO idea what the were. But in case I didn't make it clear, the way they performed was brilliant; whatever the brand was. I think it was the compound that made the difference. And if they were Bendix, then sign me up, I want another set. I did drive down mount Ousley (just outside of the Gong) a few times, and they showed no untowards performance.   Its not the low dust that I am looking for NOW. At the time I needed low dust, but now I have no issues with dust but want the initial/early bite of the pads that were used. Yeah, the early cold squeal may of been due to a missing shim or such.  And to repeat, its not the low dust I am seeking, its the initial bite of the pads and increase in bite as  the warmed up during each breaking. As soon as I let off, I don't remember the breaks being extra sticky if I used them again soon after. But I also did not test that theory.   Thanks for the recommendation, But I would prefer to choose something specifically with the behaviour I described.   I assume that they didn't use the default compound off the shelf, as we discussed the dust issue at length. And the early squeal when cold, I have seen the sound is more of an issue with some pad compounds. Mostly ceramic, which also are said to produce less dust.

      🚨 Need Advice! Overcharged for Engineering Report 🚨

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Well, in 2007 he must have been charging about $1800 an hour. He only looked at the car for 5 minutes. And another 4 to write the report wrong, and another minute to correct it. Mind you, this was for a car that was: Stock engine, fmic (hole in drivers guard), all alloy intake and custom air box, 3 inch turbo back exhaust, lowered, and a set of 17" Advans (255/40/17 rear and 235/45/17 front). It was nothing crazy. The blue slipper wanted the "hole in the guard" engineered. But that was because he got the shits that I wouldn't "relocate the battery from the boot, back to the factory position in the engine bay"... In an R33 GTST...     Also for emissions, E85, and don't go wild on timing. It's amazing how the closer you get ignition timing towards max torque, the last couple of degrees really throw NOx counts right up. And for the huge increase in emissions, it's only a small increase in torque.
