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??

These alarm have crappy protection. Remotes so fragile....and the I dont recommend the engine start in your car. Sometime the sense is faulty and your forget car in gear ......hope nothing front of the car. -.- I took down my Fence down once.....

    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools. Buy Genuine Nissan 48700JF00D (48700-JF00D) Lock Set-Steering. Prices, fast shipping, photos, weight - Amayama
    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
