I am getting an alarm installed with twin immobiliser for my r33 skyline. The installer seems to think he cannont install the alarm/immobiliser with the turbo timer. Has anyone done this themselves? or know how to do it? Please advise me on this so i might be able to advise them.

He said it had to do with the alarm and australian standards.

thanks

I have a HKS type 1 turbo timer with my alarm/immobiliser and they work fine together. I didn't do the wiring myself but I know it has been done via a relay, so when you turn the key off the alarm recognise that and the engine keep running off the turbo timer. There are no security issues because you are not bypassing anything just separating the two devices with the relay.

I have heard that some alarms either have provision for a timer, or inbuilt timers. If not it can be done via a relay as mine has been done.

Sorry I can't tell you exactly how the wiring is done, as I got it done by the guy who did my stereo install. I had been told by a few people that it couldn't be done also till I came across this guy. He just said alot of guys aren't aware how its done because it isn't that common, and that most guys that do these installs aren't true auto electricans.

Dunno how much truth there is in that, all I know is that mine now works and I can't fault any of the work he did. It is all quality, tidy work.

firstly, you cannot have the feature whereby the doors unlock when the engine dies

secondly, you need a bypass chip that allows u to look your car and immobilise after the engine dies. the chip cost me 38 bucks to add on to my pre-existing alarm.

send it to the shop that fitted your alarm and if the seem incompetent, send to another agent that does the same type of alarms :) hope that helps

firstly, you cannot have the feature whereby the doors unlock when the engine dies

yes this is true however you can have it so when you turn the key and pull it out the doors unlock then the turbo timer counts down. then you get out and lock the car via remote and the alarm arms. well thats my car anyways. oh and when you turn the car on both doors automatically lock.. pretty cool.

also when my car is being run via the turbo timer and you lower the handbrake it cuts out

as long as the immoboliser is not wiered to the fuel pomp the car will still run upn till the timer shuts down most ov the time thay cill the egnishon so theat u cant start it and when the hand brake is let down the car will stall and u cant start it with out the remote the key less entery shoud b abell to lock the car and armit if this is dun

this is what mine does.

i start boosting warhhhhh pshhhh pshhh ect you get the idear.

see some hot chicks, pull over.

decide im so cool that i turn off my ignition.

my blitz turbo timer kicks in, set for 1min or there abouts.

if i dont lock my car the imobiliser automaticlly sets after 30secconds.

if i lock the car the imobiliser is armed and the car is locked.

if i was to be in the car and locked myself in (which i tried) and put the key back in and try start it, the car turns off alarm sirens.

then my cars all locked, i go talk to da hot chix.

and all is cool.

    • I know why it happened and I’m embarrassed to say but I was testing the polarity of one of the led bulb to see which side was positive with a 12v battery and that’s when it decided to fry hoping I didn’t damage anything else
    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
