Hi guys,

New to the skyline scene here. Just bought my first skyline last week, R34 GT-T, and I was wondering if any one could/ or knows where to go to get it installed properly.

I bought it from autobarn and they can install it for $100 and itll take an hour or so. I figgured that SAU people would know if this is decent or maybe some one could help me.

The guy at Autobarn has never installed a Greddy auto turbo timer II before, so im a bit hesitant to get them to do it properly.

Any one can help? Im on the northside but can travel anywhere i need to.

Cheers in advance! :(

Hey man welcome to the forums :D

Just for future reference I wouldnt buy anything like that for your car from Autobarn . . . Ide lean more towards some of the site specific traders like just jap :D

Anyways good luck with tha installation ! ! !

Oh yeah dont forget to post up some pics of your car when you get a chance . . .

P.S. 34 FTW :)

i say get ur $100 back and not worry unless you have been thrashing the crap out of it just before you stop it is useless and best to just drive easy for the last min or 2 before you stop as light driving will cool better than letting sit idle

Yeah man a friend of mine said hes got a mate near runcorn that can install it for a couple of bucks and carton of beer! haha I live on the northside, near Chermside... Yeah its got 3 pins on the connector.. looks like this if you hold it on the side: [=|]

I just rather get some one that has done it before and knows what there doing, and i can watch them so i know what to do next time. the model is a: Greddy full auto timer II. The one with a seperate face.

Cheers,

Ricky :D

I have a connector that will plug that into the car with no cutting. - at wavel hts btw.

Oh just down the road from me! How long would it take for you to fit it and have it up and running? Also what would you charge?

Cheers!

Ps. I've heard about you Chris... That your the guy that knows everything.. haha.. (thats a good thing)

Its plug and play if you buy the connector of Chris.

Like 3 plugs and your done unless you want the 0 to 100 and theft/saftey functions (about the only thing it is good for) then you need to splice wires to handbreak and speed sensor on the ecu.

Or i am sure Chris can do it for you at a good price he is one of the best.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
