previously had a kill switch style immob, however it failed and had to have it removed.

looking for a keyless entry with alarm/immob for supply and fit.

recomendations? seen alot of autowatchs in search, however no one has stated a particular model or a installer.

thanks in advance.

and Turbo Timers aren't legal in AU. and pointless IMO

ADR 25-Turbo timers are not to be fitted to vehicles manufactured on or after 1 January 1972 (ADR 25 Anti-

Theft Locks). ADR 25 requires that the normal function of the engine only occurs when the ignition

lock is in the engine on position

The Autowatch 446rli Premium would best suit your Skyline with its built in turbo timer feature.

As for Installers...what state are you in?

Yeah speak to Chris mate.

Oh, and yes thank you sapphire, for that information.....as if we didn't know, that so I suppose we are going to have to arrest at least 5 million people here in Australia for breaking the law. :D

If you promote something Illegal then your part of the problem with kids getting defected for them, which is bad business!!!

I don't like the ADR laws either , in USA you can go nuts without fear , COPS fight real crime in USA they don't have time for filling the coffers with defect notices

just leave for your destination 1 min earlier then let it idle with you in it?

Yea and the security risk of turbo timers, since most people don't install them with a proper alarm. There are a couple stories of people having their cars nicked because they had a timer that didn't allow locking of the car (or they didn't bother), so until the car actually turns off and arms, you got a 1-5 minute window.

I don't promote turbo timers sapphire and never have but 99% of my customers have a turbo timer or have intentions of getting a turbo timer, which won't work with some of my alarm systems as mentioned by Thelen. So as for me to eliminate the security risk of external turbo timers it is safer to have a turbo timer built into the alarm software.

BTW You can shut the engine down instantly with any of my alarms be it Autowatch or Mongoose in the event of getting pulled over by the Police in which case they would not find a turbo timer under the dash, because I removed it to fit the Alarm/turbo timer.

I just think your trying to get a little too much into the nitty gritty of this thread. At the end of the day the initial questions were answered in a couple of posts

end rant

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
