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.

    • Nah, turn the boost up, break the gearbox, and enjoy leaving it parked for a few years while you save for a better box...
    • I see those two Stageas have the "punched 40mm hole" deregistered Japanese number plates 👍 Nice kouki group shot with the different colours too. 
    • Ended up just being a loose exhaust bolt luckily.
    • Yeah I made that post way too early, sorry I must have assumed it was bad because it's a 20+ year old thrashed shitbox lol. It was just a loose exhaust bolt. 
    • Like others have said, drop the power to give your drivetrain a % of reliability until you can up the drivetrain reliability  It isn't rocket science, build power to the weakest link with a % of safety Whilst upping the the reliability of the drive train is costly, there's no point in having the engine make big power if it keeps eating the drivetrain....ask me how I know, I had the tow truck on speed dial for a few years, and I spent huge amounts of money fixing issues and breakages that really would have been cheaper in the long run if I did it right the first time Me, I like a nice sized fudge factor, that keeps me off the tow truck
