I let my girlfriend drive my car and she may have messed with my apexi turbo timer. Now my electrics is f**ked. Basically the turbo timer now wont even turn on, the clock is not working my aircon/air has the dash display but does not vent air and my immobileser keeps turning on after i have started the car and i have to unlock it every 5 mins while driving. My car has shut down a few times to whilst driving, it made a ticking noise like when your battery is flat too. Could this be battery related cause i have let it go flat by leaving the lights on twice this week but i seems fine now. or maybe could it be a fuse, but that doesn't explain the immobilser

Don't blame the missus, your battery is gone for due to battery being over drained.

Also immobilizers do funny things at low voltage.

Battery might be salvagable, but most likely will die in the arse when you least want it too.

Before you buy a new battery check that your alternator is charging properly.

It should read at least 14volts when the engine is running.

When my alt. was dying the warning light didn't come on but I had weird problems with almost everything electrical and my alarm /immobiliser was the most sensitive to the low voltage.

You killed a battery TWICE IN ONE WEEK, and the problems you are having are the fault of your gf driving your car?

Your battery will not be a happy camper. Get a new battery.

Yes i left the lights on twice in one week. This is the first time it ever happened to me and it was twice in one week. Key word in my first post " she may have messed my car up" i am not blaming anyone i am just stating what happened so i can have other opinions.

Just turned on car to move it somehwere else, started fine then shut down a few metres down. Then started it up fine again, same thing happened it shut off. Now it wont even start. WTF. Anyone know for sure this is the battery

its a r33 gtst s2. Its definately not the battery. We tested it and its fine. It has to be the turbo timer. Apexi pen one There settings on there for a/f, o2, batt, and timer. I was never shown how to use it by Xspeed (guys couldnt give a shit there) but i figured not to f**k with anything but the timer. I know my gf fiddled with it and she didnt know how to change the timer but changed something. I wasnt there at the time so i cant be sure but i know its not the battery.

do a google search on ya brand of timer there are instructions on how to set it .

keep prssing the button till it reads voltage that will tell if ya battery is ok or starting to fail

    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
    • I think even the "commercial" capacity ones that you would hire from supermarkets etc wouldn't have the capacity to do all that much in one go. I will go through half a dozen tanks of solution and dumps/rinses of the waste tank for one little 2 seat sofa. Or similar for one 6 footish rug. That's the price you pay for something small that only takes up a bit of cupboard space, instead of something that takes up the entire laundry cupboard or half the shed.
    • Someone needs to copy it, improve it aesthetically, make it DBW ready from day 0 and send it to the motherland Chynah for my relatives to cast it and mass produce it 😅
