Hey guy,

Im looking at getting an alarm and turbo timer installed . Does anyone know any good places that they have used?

I was gonna get both done at once so that i dont have a turbo timer that gets overridden by the alarm later.

cheers

Mate give Leon from Security in motion a call... He comes to you and installs it, He's done quite a few stagea installs and knows them well.

I got the Autowatch alarm with 3 immobilisers etc...

Unless you're running an oil-cooled only turbo, a turbo timer is a waste of time.... and money.

even then it isnt needed

mine is turned off, and Ive been running an oil-cooled highflow for over a year now

1st mod I did to the car was disable the TT

datzla,

I had an alarm fitted but the guy had never done a stag before and although the job he did was great he didn't know how to disconnect the dimming interior light so I get an "open door alarm" if I arm the alarm before the 20 secs (or what ever it is).

Is there an easy way to disconnect this feature... would simply taking the bulb out do it?

I very much agree.

Its just as easy and a lot cheaper to just leave the engine running a bit longer (1 minute is plenty) if you've been thrashing the turbo a bit just before stopping. If you're just cruising around at 60 the turbo's probably half asleep anyway so you can safely just turn the ignition off. Running the engine while the car's not moving, particularly with the A/C on, will likely result in engine temps actually increasing.

If you've been driving on the highway at 80-110km/h for any length of time its just a matter of remembering to leave it running for about 1 minute once you stop. Most of the time you'd be stopping for fuel or something so a turbo timer wont help you here.

Besides, its illegal to walk away from the car with the engine running (turbo timer or not) so for the sake of 30 seconds to 1 minute of your time, its just as easy to switch it off yourself :)

No need to worry if the alarm will activate correctly or if the immobiliser will work etc. Also note that with a turbo timer, you wont get the beep sound when you leave your lights on and turn the ignition "off".

I had one on my last car (nissan silvia turbo) and found it to be more trouble than its worth.

By all means get one if its what you want, but as others have said, they are unnecessary. :(

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
