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.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
