:wassup: Hey guys, I'm new here and have just bought an 89 R32 GTS-t 4door. It's great even though it's been at the mechanics getting complied since i've had it, i just can't wait to get it and go for a drive.

My question is: I'm looking at putting an alarm system with an immobilizer in to the car, put i'm not sure of how this can be done so i can still use a turbo timer? Is there a way it can be wired that the immobilizer wont kick in till after the timer shuts off??

hope someone can help?

Cheers,

Yes there is. I'm told that all you need is an extra two relays - one to cut the immobilisers, and another to cut the ignition signal to the alarm (so it doesn't go off). I have NFI how they'd need to be wired in (I'm an electronics noob), but a mate of mine who does this kind of thing for a living mentioned this a while back and said it was a fairly simple thing to do.

Yes it can be done so that the immobiliser/alarm and turbo timer work together. My brother has such a setup in his Evo. He has a Brant system as well as a Apexi timer.

I heard from a Brant contractor that some timers are harder to work with than others. He said the easiest were Apexi and HKS and the hardest were GReddy and Blitz.

You can also do it without relays... I have an immobilser, alarm and turbo timer. But you have to lock your door with the key. When you turn off the ignition, the turbo timer will allow the car to continue running, therefore the immobilser thinks the car is still on and wont engage until the engine stops... that's providing your immobiliser self - engages. :)

Many of the immobilisers these days are turbo timer compatible.

With mine (Mongoose I think it is), with the engine running and the doors locked, any attempt to open the car (or drive it away) will result in the alarm going off and the immobiliser cutting in.

Thanks strutto but i tried a few searches for keywords and couldn't find much information.

Did you post anything much different to what the guys have said above??

Try this one mate:

Thanks for that strutto. I'll be getting my alarm in a week or so. and hopefully the car as well for that matter. The mechanic got sent the wrong seatbelts for doing the compliance and i'm stuck waiting for them to come in. Doesn't that suck.

So hopefully i'll get everything and it will all go well.

Everyones help is really appreciated. Thanks for your input. :(

Hey thanks johhno,

I'll be installing the alarm soon. I started on the stereo on the weekend, and then got pulled up with the antenna adapter. And guess what, no on in Hobart has one. I've ordered one over the net that should be here tomorrow, but i'm not happy. :cheers:

So how did your alarm turn out, everything working fine?

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
