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!

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
