Could you explain why it cannot be done if you have an immobilizer? what must be done different to get it to work?

I just got my Greddy turbo timer......but waz unsure where to get it installed as i have an immobliser (so cant DIY).......i know car toys can do it 4 $95 but dat seems pretti expensive..........do u guys know any1 who could do it 4 a better price.......

Will do it for $45 live in the hills. just out of interest what sort of Immobiliser is it and is it a basic t timer or one with Rpm and 0 - 400 time etc.

If youve got an Immob you have to wire the timer up so that the car still runs when armed but when timer cuts out can't be started.

care to explain how I can do it? as I recently had a alarm installed and now my basic turbo timer no longer works presumably due to the imobilizer?

I'm planning on hooking up a Greddy full auto turbo timer soon.

i think you would need to hook up a relay or two?

whe the turbo timer is running the relay would cut points of the imobiliser once the turbo timer cuts the engin the relay will connect the imobiliser points...

this might make it easyer for somone to find the imobiliser wires and knock off the car though....

If it works ill post up what i did if you like.

Hi Adam,

That would be great, as I'd like to get my TT working again .. Its annoying that I have to drive like a sissy for a few k's to cool down the turbo now .. :P

Its easy enough to put the tt in with an immobiliser you just have to hook it up to the ignition after the cut for the immob. this way the can can still run but only on tt hope this makes sense. Also if your alarm has a ignition sense you should wire it to accesories so that you can arm the system while the tt is in.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
