Hi all,

I have just scored myself a 98 series 2 skyline equiped with a mongoose mx40 immobiliser. Now i am fairly new to this, but my logic says that the immobiliser with interfear with the timer. If this is the case, does anyone know how to get around this, or have done a simmilar installation in the past?

Any information is greatly appreciated...

Thanks

i have a greddy turbo timer & a m80 mongoose system. They work.. but there are issues.. i have trouble locking the car when the turbo timer is running (sometimes i have to press the lock button 3 or more times) and the car sometimes stalls when i turn it off and the turbo timer continues to count down (dunno maybe unrelated).

I may have just had a dodgy install done which i do kind of suspect but they do work together to a certain degree.

hope this info helps ya

If the turbo timer is still running.. you have to hold down the lock button.. not just press..

Idle will dip slighly, doors will lock and the engine continues to run until the turbo timer is done.. 10 seconds after the timer finishes the car arms the immobilisers.. If it isnt working like this you may need to get it looked at..

The m40 doesnt have this feature.. only the m60 and m80 models..

Pretty sure mine is an MX40 + greddy TT - these have turbo timer option built in the same as the MX80 (we have that one on the wrx).

Just be careful on install that u connect to the correct side of the ignition.

EDIT: hmm after reading above perhaps mine is the MX60!

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
