Item: Trust/Greddy Full Auto Timer Turbo&NA. (Silver with blue LCD)

Location: Sydney

Item Condition: Brand new (literally)

Reason for Selling: Surplus to requirements.

Price and Payment Conditions: $100 + post/pickup.

Contact Details: PM me.

The short story: I was given this timer by Autobarn because they screwed up an order I had with them.

The long story: I ordered some parts from Autobarn last year. The order took forever to arrive so as a sorry gift I was given a Greddy Full Auto Timer. I sold that to a forum member, only to find out that the item was broken. I immediately refunded their money and had them send the timer back. It sat on the shelf for a couple of months as I didn't have time to get out to my nearest Autobarn during work hours (because it was a gift, I had no invoice so they had to call someone at Autobarn HQ before they could refund it, thus I had to go during normal work hours). Anyway, I finally got around to swapping it over about a fortnight ago.

What it does: In laymans terms it keeps your car running after you have removed the key for a preset period and thus oil and water continue to circulate and cool down key mechanical components and thus improves longevity. This unit is quite fully featured and includes a bunch of other gizmos (see below).

What the manufacturer says about it: The basic function of a turbo timer is to allow the vehicle to idle the engine for a timed period, with the ignition key removed. This allows the engine oil and turbo center cartridge to cool down and prevent internal turbo damage. GReddy Full Auto Timers pack tons of features into one economical, compact unit. In addition to two standard programmable count down presets (P-1, P-2), the GReddy Full Auto Timer also has two auto timer modes (A-L, A-H). The modes estimate the driving RPM according to the vehicles alternator signal and then recommend a count down time. Also new are the stopwatch/lap time and attack modes along with a built in voltmeter and speedometer. Still standard are the optional parking brake and speedo safety hook-ups.

Here is a photo from Trust's site. If people are genuinely interested and want some photos of the actual item, I'll unpack it and take some photos, but its just like this photo except in an orange box ;)

Just a heads up Lucien - these are being sold for $119 by a forum trader (and that includes postage):

Good luck with the sale anyway!

ill give u $80 plus postage =)

I would prefer closer to $110, but I guess I could have my arm twisted to $100 + post/pickup. If anyone has a roll of unused heat wrap, I would be interested in a swap too.

tell me wen u decided to sell it for $80 =)

Ever heard of the saying "too much of a good thing"? The RRP is about A$140. You can get them for about $120 online. I'm selling for $100. You are welcome to pay 20% or 40% more if you like.

If all else fails, I might try ebay. Or alternatively, I might install it on my family's 1960 tractor for a bit of a laugh.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
