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!

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.

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

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 :D

Winner!

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..........

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.

    • (Rb25det intake manifold) I’m having a hell of a time trying to find the full part or part number of this coolant hardline so far I was given these (Below) but they aren’t what I’m looking for and was told it’s the IAR or aac valve but that doesn’t seem to be it either. If someone could point me in the right direction it’d be greatly appreciated. Or if anyone has it for sale that’d be great too. I have recently purchased a greddy manifold and I can’t seem to find my old one to pull it off.  (Front Heater Return / Water Pipe (under intake): Primary part: 14053‑21U10 (front return pipe assembly for R33/R34 RB25DET) Alternative listing: 14053‑21U00 (same pipe, sometimes interchangeably referenced)   Heater Feed Pipe: Listed as 14075‑04U00 or feed-related variant 14053‑AG500)    
    • This sounds cool. But, as per usual, anything really complicated like that, that I take on, constitutes a steep learning curve that I never actually "learn". I just get it working, install it and start using it. Then, when it breaks a few months later, I've got no memory of what I did, how I did it, or even the bloody IP address I gave it. I'm having more or less exactly that problem right now. My Proxmox machine was discovered to be non-responsive, and the VMs on it were ditto. Power cycle it to a stream of loud Dell beep codes - which was unpopular at midnight, I can tell you. Move it to the lounge room so I can HDMI it to the TV for a screen, see the boot messages complaining about the /PVE/data having all sorts of LVM problems, saying it needs to be fixed manually. And I'm like....great. How am I going to work out what I need to do? At least it wasn't the stupid Silicon Power SSD shat itself. Mental note for all readers - DO NOT BUY SP SSDS! They are shit. I have had one take out an entire VM setup already, and this one could have done the same. Maybe it actually has. Cheap Chinesium shitbaskets. I won't cheap out again, even on play projects with no budget. Because my time budget having to fix shit is worth far more than the cost of proper parts.
    • I do typically agree. These days even the screens most people use have more of a boot time than the main device. However, I've seen an interesting use of the RPi in vehicle, however it involves effectively building your own OS and MBR, as then it boots up exceptionally quickly, as you don't have everything needing to start up, and you can then also run it up as an RTOS, while still having more compute than an Android can give for things like display, and processing. A very huge task that would be though for Duncan, I'm not sure that's his skill set (or Arduino programming and wiring) ha ha. If end goal is definitely just water cooling, Arduino would be the simpler setup especially for a rookie. If he wants extra display stuff though, bashing some code in Python on an RPi may be the better result for both systems.   Unfortunately the new device I'm building at work which runs a display, is too slow of a display for dashboard style purposes. More extreme low power, update only a couple of times a day type system
    • I don't like "actual computers" for in car use. They take time to boot up, have OS annoyances, and so on. Arduinos etc are ready to go a few seconds after power on, don't mind being agressively powere cycled, because everything is non-volatile, don't mind being shaken and stirred.
    • As Fred would tell us, it's all about interpreting the rules. It's not a water sprayer, it's a water mister... But everything else you've said, 100%! Even a raspberry Pi would be great, use HDMI out for a display, and add a raspberry Pi CANBus hat to read values out from the ECU.
