Hey Guys,

Just need some input with a turbo timer thats installed in my car. I have one of those pivot turbo timer with a knob to turn it to 0, 1 or 3.

I believe it is a called a rotary switch. The other day i turned the knob a bit 2 much and snapped it. :)

Surely enough i have bought a new rotary switch and tryed and fix it but i cant find the bit that was snapped off.

I have no idea where the wires are suppose to connect to the rotary switch.

Does anyone else have this pivot turbo timer installed on their dash. Im after a pic of the wiring on the rotary switch so i can copy it.

I have tryed wiring it up but the cars stays on and doesnt turn of. :P

I have five wires:

1.green

2.purple

3.brown

4.white

5.grey

green and grey make the car stay on but doesnt turn of. It stops running when i connect the purple wire to the green and grey wire.

Thanks in advance.

AK

I would advise going to an auto electrician. Sometimes they give out free information.

If I understand correctly - you have five wires going into the back of the rotary switch?

Or you have five wires coming out the back of the timer?

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
