Hey pple, i just bought my Skyline, (from a dealer)

Its a '95 (series 1.5) GTS-T, 77000kms

Its gotta a bodykit, adjustable suspension, (might be coilovers, guy said it was worth 4grand, but could obviously be bullshitting), Manaray 17' rims

2 years warranty

manual of course!!

$17,250! on the road (16 for the car in case ur not from VIC)

(see attachment for PIC)

I know its too late but is that a good deal

Also need some advice, how much should i be paying for a brand new blitz turbotimer and how much for a second-hand no-name brand one.

Ive also had some conflicting advice regarding the compatibility of turbo-timers with immobilisers and alarms. Ive been told that i might need to buy some kind of adapter thing so that the alarm arms itself after the turbo timer has finished. Is this true, (The alarm im getting is the mongoose M60S)

thanx for any input, it would be greatly appreciated

looks nice for sure, good deal with warranty and all

imo wouldnt bother with the turbo timer for the complications u have listed bit of a gimmick just dont thrash it in the last few minutes of driving b4 turn off

if u want some power look at a 3" exhaust system or somin, if doesnt already have, but yeh nice car!!

Yeah to have the immobiliser and turbo timer work in harmony you will have it wired up specially. Something about a relay....there was an article about it on here a while ago but i cant find it anymore..

I took mine to my local car audio electrician (Alberts) and they rigged it up for $80 (also got my hand thingie re-coded at the time).

Now the immobiliser automically arms 45 seconds after the turbo timer turns turns off. Much better peace of mind.

The guy reckons he can switch over either a 3.5' or 4' exhaust from another skyline after they're done with compliancing. He says he'll do it for $350. U reckon it will be worth it? I've got 3 to pick from, should i just go for the best sounding one, or just the bigggest one?

Thanx for the tip with the turbo-timer, it does sound like a bit of a gimmick. Not worth all the hassels i reckon too.

Mines a laserline system - dont ask the version, i dunno.

I agree, if you aint gonna fang the car around at events and such a turbo timer really is just rice...how hard is it to sit around with the keys in for an extra 45 seconds anyway :D

If your alarm has a turbo timer interface then it may be easier than u think to hook it up, could just be a matter of connecting the timer to the alarm (correct me if im wrong). Obviously you'l need a manual specific to that alarm to tell you what goes where though.

3"/3 1/2" exhaust is heaps if you dont plan on running large'ish boost figures...imo a smaller exhaust sounds nicer than a larger one :D

Oh, and heaps of information about the whole TT + alarm issue can be found here :

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
