Hi guys,

about this whole TT business, what is the best turbo timer ?

Keep in mind all it has to do is idle the car, it's got to be affordable (reasonable quality)

It has to be small, the less noticable the better.

It seems like a pretty simple device, can I just jump on down to Jaycar and pick up a Kit one for $30 ? That way i'd only have a trimpot showing on the dash, and nothing more.

What TT do you all Have ?

Hey dude. I am thinking about giving my turbo-timer the heave ho. Not that it doesn't do the job, I just don't want to have a turbo timer anymore, I much prefer being with the car when it is running :-)

If you are interested, it is a Pivot Full-Auto Timer. I won't be removing it for a few weeks but when I do, it will be for sale.

Cheers

If you're looking for the a small cheap reliable turbo timer, you can't go past the pivot item. I've got it in mine and it's barely noticable. Only $160 new from Xspeed but if you can get it second hand from HKS-S14, go for it!

My 2 cents (i don't charge GST)

:D

It would round down to 2c even if you did charge GST :(

.. My 2.2c :D

P.S. Those HKS Level 0 or 1 look cool, worth the money? (the more expensive one which does the qtr mile times and stuff) I think it's like $250 or something.

if u are after rice, hks type1 timer is nice, but really you don't need one, just use common sense and drive it soft for the last few km to let it cool down before switching it off. I wouldn't want to leave my car idling and walk away anyway, even with an alarm (sets itself off anyway with loud exhausts).

I've got a razo one. Its fully automatic, just senses the RPM of the car and adjusts time accordingly. The alarm system (cyclops)I have arms itself partially as soon as I press the button and fully arms itself 10 seconds after the turbo timer stops the engine from running. I pretty much leave it set to 1 minute, cos the auto setting is a bit crap sometimes, if I've given it a really hard time I check the auto vs the 1 minute timer and see which is greater and leave it running. A turbo timer is more a convenience thing than anything else, but letting the turbo and engine cool down before shutting off is a MUST do.

I've had a really good run with HKS ones. There relatively cheap @ US$90 and have installed them in most mates cars.

You can install them yourself if you get the wiring harness that plugs straight into the existing connectors.

Has anyone tried the Cheater car alarm. Someone was saying they had an inbuilt TT.

    • This sounds like a perfect excuse to install a Haltech R3.
    • I do believe from context he is talking about a S0/S1 R33 RB25 with associated ECU and Wiring for that, and a manual gearbox into a R34 N/A Auto. I don't have the knowledge of all the pinouts and such but my gut feeling from doing my own conversion is to use as much of the R33 stuff that you can. The "car" wiring is quite seperate from the "Engine" wiring when all things are considered. The only things to truly consider 99% of the time is the cluster, reverse lights and potentially disabling the 'not in P/N' immobilizer circuit.
    • A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway. 
    • Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).
    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as
