Probally a stupid question ....

[Mitchyr32]

Hey all,

Just thinking of things i need to know before i get my R32, okay lets all close our eyes and pretend we have been cruizing around in our Skylines, the turbo is exhausted and is full of hot oil, then stupidly enough you stall it, my question is if you stall your car after high rpm, then quickly start it back up, will the turbo still be safe, or will it be too late?

I also scarred about getting use to not turning it of str8 away after use, although the Turbo timer will help...

did any1 else have this problem when they first bought thiers ?

or should i just throw a sticker on the steering wheel with "THINK" imprinted on it? ...

Cheers all.

I did that once to my old car (not a skyline, obviously) but, anyway, after I did it, it tore up real bad and we sold it back to the guy who gave it to us. The engine was coming out in pieces, and I DID IT----HAH!

Anyway, the guy just got a new everything for it and painted it the U.S. Flag, which looks like shit (the paint on the car).

I doubt you'll have any issues about getting used to the car running after you stop! if it has a turbo timer then there will be no hassles as you wont be able to forget cause the timer will always work when you turn the car off!!

SO, in saying that, if you have a turbo timer, then if you do manage to stall it after a high rpm run then the turbo timer will keep it going anyway, therefore no issue!!!

but even if you did stall it without a TT as long as it is restarted then given time to cool down, there "shouldn't" be any issues with the seals in the turbo!!

dont fret man, just buy it and enjoy

If you stall the Turbo TImer won't kick in, well mine doesn't.

I guess if i stalled with the handbreak on it might..

[Craved]

Oh OK, my turbo timer isn't setup to turn off when the hand brake is dropped!! Didn't think of that, also there are the ones with the gear select option aswell!!

[Aurora]

Yeah, a mates is hooked up through Handbreak, ANY pedal and also gear selection.

Handbreak should be enough for a Turbo Timer setup i think.

But more on topic, your turbo should be fine, it just needs a period after it has been run hard, to flow oil through it and cool it down.

A turbo timer is not going to stop a car from stalling!! Try turning your car off (with timer still running the engine), them put it in 5th and drop the clutch. I guarantee it still stalls!!

[Craved]

um yeah, your right

obviously wasn't thinking right at the time!! it was late..

at least we ended up answering the second statement!
