Hey guys,

just a couple of quick newbie questions about alarm systems with turbo timers inbuilt, are they any good ? how does the system judge how long the car should remain on for, im assuming its fully automatic ? im planning on getting this alarm system http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...type=osi_widget (i know i know Ebay alarms arent heavily favoured by you guys etc im sorry! besides my car is never far from me - will always be kept in my carport) also can i get an idea of how much such a system would cost to be fully installed into my 33,

thanks alot guys any information would be greatly appreciated as this is my first import and im a big newbie,

P.A

My Autowatch alarm has the inbuilt turbo timer. If your car only runs for 2-3 minutes, it will not use the turbo timer and the engine will shut down immediately. If the car runs for longer, the turbo timer counts down for a preset time (i think mine is set to 90 seconds). This works fine for me, i choose to go for an alarm with the t/timer in it, to reduce the amount of unnecessary wiring + electronics in my car.

you may not have much $$ left after your purchase but I would honestly NOT buy that unit. since you are in adelaide go see adelaide pro sound and get him to sort the car out. it will be done properly AND it will be insurance compliant. that one will last 6 months tops and IF you need a remote where are you going to get one from??

      Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too.

      Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.

      Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.

      Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
