hey guys, today i got my immoboliser installed, and somtimes when i turn off the car and the turbo timer is running i lock my car with the immoboliser and after a couple of seconds my car just cuts out and dies..but i can jump in and turn it off so its not like the car battery is dead...im just wondering is it because the batter cant handle it all, is it time for a new battery? thanks guys.

do you know what a turbo timer is/does ? The TT keeps your car running for a few (preset or user-defined) number of seconds AFTER you switch it off. So the car shutting down after you lock is just the TT turning it off, ie. it's doing its job. Thank god I'm not the biggest nub around here anymore :down:

lol i know what the turbo timer does, but it turns off before its ment to, the car pretty much chokes and switches off before the minute is up if u get what i mean

hm yeah .. if it only started happening after you installed the immobiliser, I'd say it's the wiring of the immobiliser..so take it back to whoever installed it for you.

you know some alarms/immobiliser systems come with built in turbo timers .. maybe yours did to and now you've got 2 ??

I have the same immobiliser and never had an issue like this. Having said that, I think Denis is on the money with this one - the m80's TT is turning the car off before your TT unit is.

    • You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time. Even with R33 GTSTs looking at gumtree. You have an auto with a bitsa interior for 35k. Another one needs an engine rebuild and asking 24k. And then you have a stock in better than average condition for 45k. Nobody is ever going to pay these prices.
    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
