Recommended Posts

Just got myself a new HKS timer,

wondering if anybody knows a good place to get it installed?

got quoted $50, + another $40 because I have a complex alarm

at Autobarn, Seems a bit pricy to me. Anybody know anyone better?

Well I took it down to autobarn despite the bad rating, I just don't want to do it myself incase I blow up my ECU or something horrid. And they had a look at the timer and because it has other functions other than just a timer (batt reading/rev/speed etc.) They decided it was going to cost more. $170 and need the car for the whole day!!!

so I told them where to go.... :devfu:

it was going to cost me more to install it than what I paid for it. So has anyone installed a HKS Type 1 timer themselves? I need some advise. Also where is the best place to mount one?

AutoTrust, I have a 'Cougar type Blue' alarm system.

I would need to see the car, alarm and timer to quote properly. I am in Camberwell and specialise in electrical mods and accessories on Jap imports.:D

    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
