hey guys just want a quick question answered.

i have a turbo timer hooked up to my car and soon to get a alarm. will i need as they say a alarm with turbo timer compatibility? or can i just get this alarm

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Mongoose-M20S-Alarm...1QQcmdZViewItem which which doesn't say it is compatible with turbo timers and it'll be fine? that mongoose is actually the one i want to buy. will i need to buy another one since it doesn't ahve turbo timer compatibility?

either way how does it work? will the alarm without the turbo timer compatibility just lock itself via remote whenever i choose to or will it just not work?

will the turbo timer compatible alarm lock the car automatically straight after the turbo timer shuts the car down?

how does it work for people that know?

thanks

nope look elsewhere. half the stuff that fellow has sold is imported. the alarms are too cheap and I dare say imported. call mongoose in sydney and ask for a priceon that unit. it's well below what I pay.

oh really? aren't mongoose a australian brand alarm nonetheless?

so will i need something compatible with turbo timers to work properly?

need to know how it works so i know what to buy.

how about rhino? theres a rhino gtr alarm that i'm interested in aswell.

well i just need to know how the turbo timer compatibiity works?

because i'm inking of buying a simple alarm that doesn't have turbo timer compatibility.

what will happen? no what i mean?

Jake, the alarm you linked to above wont be insurance approved, it's not using all black wiring.

As for Turbo timer compatible, with the right installation the alarm can be installed with the timer and they can both work together, but it's easier to get an alarm system with inbuilt timer, means the alarm wont have immobiliser over-rides, etc.

B.

the mongoose m60 and m80 both have turbo timer interface, austrailain standard whitch means all black wiring, passive arming and 2 point immobiliser with the m60 and 3 point immobiliser with the m80.

in short for you, when you arm your car with the turbo timer counting down the car is still protected so if someone opens your door whilst car running the motor will shut down and the alarm will sound.

we install mongoose daily and find they are a very good system so we recomend them.

hope that helps

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
