Hey guys,

Went about installing my Greddy turbo timer into my car which I bought equipped with a M80 Mongoose alarm.

Turbo timer shuts off when the ignition is turned off, which is understandable as the M80 has the turbo timer function set to off as default.

I went about turning the ignition on/off the required number of times with the drivers door open, to access the alarms contols, and after I did the right amount of on/offs, nothing happened (indicators ment to flash etc).

I tried to do the same again and turn the beeps on/off without any avail.

Thinking of taking to a local dealer who has done some other audio work on the car. Just thought I'd see if anyone else had a similar issue.

Every other function works with the car.

there is a 5 sec time window to get into program mode. turn EVERYTHING in the car OFF before you start programming it. then start the routine. turn the key quickly when doing it and at the end you will get chirps & flashes, in the last one press button one.

if the timer is connected UNPLUG IT.

this will allow the alarm to arm with the timer you have in the car - IT DOES NOT TAKE THE PLACE OF IT! :(

once you get it set up plug the timer back in start the car wait a few minutes then turn the key off, timer counts down - press and hold button 1. you will get a chirp . opening the car with the key will set the alarm off and shut the car down.

if you get that result it works :D

The problem is that when you start the programming sequence you basically have a window of only 15 seconds to turn the ignition on and off the number of times for the feature, and for features down the list like the turbo timer function which is number 13 means you have to turn the ignition on and off 13 times in 15 secs of opening the door. So it has to be quick. If your turbo timer is on then it obviously holds the ignition on, preventing the programming working properly.

This is especially so with the Greddy Timers as even when they are set to the off position they actually stay on for .5 of a second after the ignition is switched off, hence this adds .5 of a second to each time you turn the ignition on and off. You dont necessarily have to disconnect the timer but just do the programming fast :) or to make it easier you can disconnect the timer till its programmed correct :mage:

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
