Hi there,

I've recently installed an old HKS turbo timer(Its black with four buttons on the face), but for some reason, I cannot remove the keys when I turn off the ignition. So basically the turbo timer is triggered on, and is counting down, while the engine is running, I turn the key all the way, but cannot push that button to remove the keys.

Once the turbo timer and engine is off, I am able to remove the keys.

The car which is installed to is an R32 GTST Auto.

So far I've connected:

Red: 12V constant

Green: Ignition

Yellow: Accessory (I would have thought the blue wire for ACC, however, this yellow wire is very as thick as the other main wire such as 12V and Ign., so I assume its the Acc.)

Black: Ground

I have not yet connect a blue wire (this wire may be for speed or rpm) and the grey (handbrake wire).

Would any know why I can't remove the keys when turbo timer is counting down?

Cheers!

car proly has a keylock solenoid which prevents the keys from being removed on an auto trans car.

fix is easy tho, remove the steering coloumn cover and unplug the 2 wire connector that leads into the keylock, should disable it permanantely.

hey there, i done this on my car when i installed the timer, it works but about 1 in 25 times the key wont release, maybe my lock gets a bit jammed or something. when i first put the 5 speed in the key wouldnt come out at all, had to release this little bar thing on the ignition barrel to get it out. ??????? weird.

    • Coming home late at night and driving past the police is the only reason i need one haha And yeh, definitley needs a switch to quickly enable it, dont have time to be getting my phone, opening an app, waiting for it to update etc before being able to make the change
    • Because it is financially convenient for them lol. Why wouldn't they want to give you the lowest possible valuation for your car?
    • Yep. @Duncan also shannons they will rip you dry and will be probably limited on how much you can drive. Also keep in mind that you always have to have it garaged with Shannons, with enthusiasts as per their PDS you can have it 2 times per week on the driveway for example. 
    • I had a generic 4" Varex rear box on my old V8, worked a treat for sneaking home late at night, it was as quite as stock when closed The car was "fairly" loud when open as it consisted of 1" 7/8 headers to 3" catted Y pipe, to 4" single, it did have a resonator in the mid pipe and only the Varex out the back I also hard wired in a Varex dash mount switch, as the key fob thing is a pain to use when driving I wouldn't recommend giving the beans when it is closed though as it creates a large restriction in the exhaust  It also can in very handy when pulled over for "random" breath tests or just cruising past the constabulary   
    • Here is the before and after of the scraping/sanding of the IC pads on the tachometer board for the fix mentioned in this thread. And yes it worked fine after. Just a note if you change any components on the board the tach calibration can be wrong showing the wrong idle etc...only problem is once it is installed back in the cluster you can't get to it to adjust...ouch! My fix was to cut out the calibration pot (the blue one) from the board and run it with two wires to the fuse panel under the dash where I could adjust the idle calibration once everything was installed. And yes I soldered everything up again including the half soldered components either side of the IC in my photos
