Well just went and washed my car at bp payneham....

chamoising away out the back of the servo when this R33 pulls in, dude parks his car near mine, jumps out leaves the turbo timer goin, windows down music blaring and just walks inside no alarm etc the car ran for close to a min before it turned off then about 5mins after that the guy came and got his car....mind you this is out the back of the servo where bugger all ppl can see the cars

Now I was thinking you wouldnt of even have to of known anything about cars, some total dumb arse could of just jumped in and drove away, esp when skylines are the fav of theives

wank factor.

"look at me, my car can turn itself off, i pull teh chikzzz"

i took my turbo timer out over a year ago, and its been sitting in my cupboard ever since.

If it was running on the timer with no keys in the ignition, they wouldn't get too far unless they new what they were doing.

I actually have people ask me why I arm my alarm when I go to pay for petrol or do something really quickly. How hard is it to press a button on a remote to engage and then later disengage the alarm/immobiliser vs coming back and finding your car missing and then explaining to the insurance company that the alarm wasn't on (or having to lie to them and they check with CCTV footage).

what are you gunna do once the steering lock kicks in?- pull a heli 'till the turbo timer cuts the engine?

How can ya still drive away with a turbo timer off?

I thought once you put it in gear or put the handbrake down it immobilised????????????

Or is there a way to hard wire it in??????????//

once the handbrake is released or the car rolls, engine cuts

wank factor.

if ur going for some spirited driving, well surely ull have some time to warm down until u get to ur house, or to the next place u stop.

turbo timers really arnt that helpful, and only cause issues with alarms and SAPOL.

alarms, steering locks, turbo timer etc....if they want your car they'll take it.

alarms and immobilizers are easy to bypass

standard steering locks snap with a sharp jerk of steering wheel.

it all comes down to luck at the end of the day.

I saw that in a movie too. modern cars don't use cast lugs as steering locks, they have hardened steel pins doing the job.

irl it's more common to have the earth lead of your alarm ripped and ignition punched with a large screwdriver.

Still as everyone knows the more visual deterrents, alarm.led,sticker on drivers side window and a big clublock.. the less likely your car will be picked.

They did this with mine when they stole it, snapped the part of the ignition that joins to the steering column at the same time. Got my ignition out with a massive truck wrench, which i now keep in my toolbox (they got caught and it was still in the car) - Got sumthing out of it.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
