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. :(

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
