i have just installed my turbo timer and i bought one of those adapters so i didnt need to cut any wires, but my problem is when i switch the car off the engine still runs which is cool until the timer does its thing but when i go to arm the car only the doors lock. anyone know how i can interface the alarm with the timer or anywhere i can go get it done.

any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated

I agree although my skyline has a working interface alarm/ turbo timer. But it was like that, and i never ever use the turbo timer unless i do an occasional track day but turbo times are just annoying, and to many dramas. I would suggest removing turbo timer (Useless function ) unless your smashing your car for long periods of time on the road which we hope your not :/

yep .. piss the timer off..

Hi chris

I've heard this a few times in regards timers and alarms. I'm currently running a timer in my R32 however would like to install an alarm and remote central locking. Is there any way for the timer and alarm to work harmoniously together or is pissing the timer off the best option. If so why? Thanks in advance for your time and knowledge.

(cynical mode )

so you want me to come take your car in the middle of the night ? may as well you have made the 3 basic things a lot easier for me to access..

(/cynical mode)

in all honesty find a unit that has one built in or one that will allow a timer to work with it.

autowatch have them built in and they can be wired accordingly with various countermeasures. ( customers of mine know what this means - send me a PM and I will explain it.)

mongoose will go either way. they have the ability to act as a timer or will work with one IF they are setup correctly.

its more about install than alarm though.

      Ah. OK. I take it back. I hadn't looked closely at the R33/4 arms and presumed that GKTech did as GKTech do everywhere else, which is to use sphericals there. The poly bushings are made to be 100% interchangeable, should use the standard bolt just fine. Every other bush in every other place in pretty much every other car, does.

      @silviaz Ok cool, so much easier with a video. I can see why this video would be confusing for new players.   It is obvious that this entire bonnet is going to be resprayed, have a look in the background around 2:05, you can see a bunch of bare metal on the left side of the bonnet.  It's not an issue for the primer being laid down on the non-prepped clear on the bonnet. It will be sanded off at a later stage.  This might not be obvious to new players, but working on bare metal and factory paint in this instance, the factory paint is like a mountain and the bare metal is a huge valley. The bonnet needs to be levelled flat before it receives it's final stage of colour and clear coat. During this levelling process, the primer that is landing on the clear that you are worried about will be removed.  Also, this guy is out of control. Zero PPE while spraying, maybe he is a good example overall about what not to do lol.

      Ok I FINALLY found a video lol. This took way longer than it should have as I could have sworn I saw multiple videos like this. I kept finding the completely opposite (the correct way of doing this). I wouldn't be surprised if I f**ked this up somehow.  I just realised where I've been getting confused and even with other things I work on. I haven't been doing things the regular way instead I'm going a roundabout way of doing things, like putting epoxy primer first then filler for example instead of putting just filler then primer on top of that, then wondering what happens if I get that primer on the clear coat that I haven't sanded yet. This was a bit of an epiphany 馃槀  But anyways, here this video. Time stamp, 2:56, some of the primer lands on the paint unscuffed above. You can see from the reflection it looks shiny.

      It does, this part circled in red. I assume the OEM bolt might not work well with the poly bushing because the dimensions may be different?

      The J arm doesn't have bushes either. Assuming that by "J arm" you mean the part of the upright that runs down from the upper arm's outer bushes to the top of the hub. That has a kingpin style bearing in it. If you meant the lower control arm, it has 1 bush, at its inner end. If you have PU in there, that is superior to Nismo rubber. If you meant the caster/tension rod - it has 1x bush at the front end, and again PU is superior to Nismo rubber. But as I said above, I would definitely get the GKTech arms for that, as sphericals slay all other options there.
