Help!, Car Does Not Turn Off After Switching Keys Off

[Elegant Skyline]

I drove my R34 GTT this morning and when i arrived home the car does not even turn off even after taking out the keys as the engine is still running, and to add more to the problem today is Sunday which i drove around finding a mechanic they are all closed.

My car is in the garage still bloody running after i took out the keys.

What can i do? please help!

turbo timer? Start looking for it!

[89CAL]

Disconnect your injector plug or the coilpack loom plug to get it to turn off

[SkudR33]

What if he disconnects that 60A main fuse in the boot?

[89CAL]

I wouldnt..... Dont like just cutting ECU power like that

[blind_elk]

auto or manual?

[Elegant Skyline]

The car turns off by itself when i leave it for 30 seconds cause thats when the alarm automatically turns on but from now on it is just like that when i take the key out, its auto, i will have it checked by a mechanic soon.

Thanks for the tips guys.

30 seconds exactly? Considering you're new to the forums, have you just bought the car? It sounds like there's a turbo timer installed.

Or might be built into the alarm. Pm Chris Rogers. He is the man when it comes to this. Do you know what alarm it is?

Yes i bought this car about 3 months ago, the previous owner said it is pretty much stock, not sure if this is useful to anyone but my alarm is from "Mangoose" it wasn't like this when i drove back and forth on a weekly basis from Sydney to Bathurst (2 and half hours drive) during my 3 month duration until just now.

Even if i just drive to my local Westfield which is approximately 10 minute drive, the car wouldn't shut off for at least 20-30 seconds.

Funny its just happening now all of a sudden.

Because whilst the car was on you pressed button III (picture of a siren) and enabled the stupid built in turbo timer. You can disable it by doing the same, whilst the car is running and the key is in & set to ON, then press button III and the siren will chirp indicating it's turned off..

here's a guide for it

I've installed several of these stupid alarms because my mates just read up on forums going "this alarm is zee hektic I want one".. I get cases of beer, so I just install and receive beer.. everyone wins LOL

[Elegant Skyline]

YES!! that was spot on as it was the alarm button which i must have accidentally pressed that turn on the turbo timer which is connected to the turbo timer (did not know i had a turbo timer), saved myself time and money all thanks to you guys

This is the silliest idea ever!

Car thief beats the alarm system's 3 interrupts, then has a point to start your car, any turbo timer fitted.

Turbo timer gives a thief the three things it needs to start your pride & joy:

1. Power

2. Accessories

3. Ignition

May as well just hand your keys over!

Turbo timers are the biggest wank PERIOD!!

^ my first mods were:

• remove & sell turbo timer
• remove & sell wanky boost gauge
• remove & sell BOV
• remove & sell turbosmart boost controller
• remove & sell pod filter

LOL

One of our apprentices recently bought an R33 GTST. It has a 2-5/8'' LIQUID FILLED boost gauge screwed to the upper left corner of the steering column shroud. I wondered why the previous owner had forked the extra for the liquid?

Wheel balance issues?

brake shudder maybe?

No, it was bigger than that.

The liquid is to smooth out the violent shaking from the engine overheating & sh#tting itself, because the boost gauge completely obstructs the temp gauge!

I pointed this out to the apprentice 5 months ago, boost gauge is still there..........

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

lol rice is nice alright haha

I have 1x gauge in my car and it's a wideband AFR other than that, there are no wanky dials in my car. There's a slim Engine Guardian which shows my water temp, oil temp and alerts on low oil pressure and doesn't stand out.
