I don't think they would have a cry at you man, turbo timers are surely not illegal? It's looking after your engine, not a performance upgrade.

It can be considered illegal if there is no way to over-ride it, from what i have heard.

To the OP i would also suggest built into the alarm, if you have an auto watch when the timer is running hit the small smooth (bottom right) button twice and see if the car turns off.

yes i have a mongoose x40

No idea if they are illegal or not, just dont want them bitching at me, due to the fact, when turbo timer is on, i am unable to set my alarm so i have to wait around till the turbo cools off, no display or anything to play with

Yeh just means your turbo timer is wired to your handbrake. I would keep looking around the dash, maybe in the area behind the ash tray and cigarette lighter? If you don't have any controls for it then I think you have an aftermarket one that has been very well hidden.

      Problem with a tachometer on a Skyline R33 with an RB25DET Neo engine

      By kike_kike · Posted

      Hello First, I apologize if this is not the correct forum. Let me know and I will move it to the correct one. I'm having a problem with the tachometer on my Skyline R33 with an RB25DET Neo engine. I'll tell you from the beginning. I'll tell you from the beginning. I have the RB25DET Neo engine installed in a Nissan Patrol GU, with a Link G4X control unit specifically for that engine,  and I have fitted a Skyline R33 tachograph to the original GU dashboard, but it doesn't work properly. I have the tachometer connected to the positive and negative terminals of the GU panel's wiring, and the signal cable is connected directly to the ECU output pin, but the rpm fluctuates widely. Can anyone tell me if the output signal from an R33 ECU is the same as the output signal from an R34 ECU, or if the voltage and signal type are different? Regards and thanks.

      I guess it was the thought about "Oh if I were to drive this everyday". Then no, SL500 I wouldn't really consider lmao.

      Yeah actually really fair point. Idk what I was thinking when looking at the SL500. Now that I think about it, I feel like I would have more enjoyment out of a shitbox that I would need to repair than some fancy merc. Although I must admit the SL500 does look quite nice. My bad hahaha.

      100% Also "Not wanting to spend money" is THE WORST IDEA IMAGINABLE when coming to a project car of any kind. They EXIST to BURN MONEY. Sure, gas money is a thing. A stock car with the worst fuel economy ever sold would probably be cheaper than modifying a car with FREE petrol for the life of your ownership of it, lol.

      Amount of time you're being observed by law enforcement is so minute, that you could be a dumb shit 90% of your driving time, and never lose a demerit. You could also be the best driver ever and still get hit with a fine.   When you realise how quickly everything turns from "Wee, we're having fun!" To "oh f**k oh f**k oh f**k", you start to realise the only way to be a good driver, is to not be doing anything dumb or unexpected by normies on the road. You want to go fast, go to the track. Someone there in a 1990s slow POS will also show you how bad of a driver you are as they lap 10 seconds per lap quicker than you can in a car that should be considerably faster.
