I sat there one day and thought......"i think i'll get a turbo timer!". So i did and a few hours have turned into months :mad: . I get the timer and fit it, all is good :dance: .Then i get a harness so i can fit it into the ignition circuit. Three harnesses later i managed to get one that fits the car (after having to get one imported). Fitted the harness tonight and it worked :dance: :dance: :dance: ...........slight problem though. My Z is an Auto and i can't get the fookin key out until the timer has finished counting down. Help me because its driving me mad. Is there a mod?? The timer is an Apexi.

Sorry to side step a bit but I have an auto 300 too I have just removed the engine after doing a compression check on it an now the key wont come out is this just bein a cnut or is it something to do with autos?

 

Thanks

the only time i ever had the problem of not getting my key out was when my old box wouldn't engage park correctly. You should hear a click if its engaging properly.

i dont know being a manual owner, but its probably a saftey feature being an auto. will it let you have they key out if its neutral and not park, just a suggestion

 

anyway jonce long time no speak hows things???

Not to bad matey, busy,busy,busy. Just started leave

you read about my zed yet. scared the living sh!t out of me, read the which rad thread.

 

Cool how long you on leave for, and no doubt its well deserved

Anyone any idea????

Heeeeeeeeeeeelp Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!! Lol

My auto with tubby timer is the same bud and, to be honest, I never even thought of a mod to release the key!!

 

As far as I'm aware, the car will hold the key while it is still possible to drive (anti-hijack) so, as the car can theoretically still be driven while the timer runs down, you ain't getting the key out!

 

Having said that, I will keep an eye on this thread to see if this can be fettled with ;).

Heeeeeeeeeeeelp Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!! Lol

:rolleyes: Lecce mech's......:rofl: Nice to see you back mate :D

What gave me the idea that there was some type of ignition key unlocking adaptor is that the apexi timer instructions mention it. Thought some one may have one :cry:

Got to keep the reputation going buddy LOL

Going back a bit but the basic spec is in these threads. There is a solenoid which you need to bypass which will allow the release of the key whilst the engine is running. Someone who does know exactly is JeffTT, a mine of information.
