I'll find out the guy's name tonight...

At first glance it looks like you should be able to buy a harness to hook that into your ignition loom. Can you get a pic of the plug in the second pic to show the shape of it? 46n2

Allow me to sort this one out...... I goofed .... it is in kg/cm^2 and therefore pressure...Sorry Lads Michael

Thanks Zen, I didn't get your last post until this morning, but I pulled the dash out last night and followed the circuit tracks on the back of the instrument cluster to the wires I thought would be the right ones (they're not marked too clearly) and noted the colour. Then I checked the wires on the ECU and counted in from one side (i didn't know if I as looking @ the top or bottom...) and made sure that the wire I ended up at was the same colour as the one on the back of the dash. I didn't get any pics of this bit because I didn't have the camera, but I think when I do the 'how to' I should be able to describe it well enough. So the wire colours were (on my 32) : speed sensor wire = yellow with a green stripe rpm snesor wire = yellow with a red stripe If anyone has a picture of the back of the 32 instrument cluster for me to put into my how to that'd be really handy 46n2

Shouldn't have any problems with compatibility (ie - 33 into 32)... If you can get your hands on a digital camera take a picture of it and post it up...there's a good chance that someone on the forum has the same Timer as you... I'll post up pics of my wiring harness with the installation guide... The harness plugs into the ignition plug (???name???) and has an extra plug on it to feed the Turbo Timer... Michael

I'll be putting instructions up tomorrow or Monday with lotsa pics (probably a PDF. I recommend you pick up a wiring harness. call BD4's on (02) 9879-3322 and ask them if there is a Turbo Timer Wiring Harness to suit your model timer. I think that they're all the same. It only differs between models of cars... 46n2

I actually pulled over last night on the side of the road waiting for the cops (so I could show them where the cow was), so I put on my hazzard lights and turned the key to off. The timer started blinking counting down - flashing red - blue - red - blue - etc... It was funny to see the cars in the rear view who were caroooozing along hit the skids thinking I was a cop. If we had skylines as cop cars in Aus - I know where i'd be working... I'll pull out the dash tonight (but on a short timeframe - MATRIX @ @ Midnight ) and give hooking the other sensor wires up a go. Cheers, Michael

JL, Yeah, I was thinking about splicing into the wires behind the dash as opposed to at the ecu, but Isn't there a couple of plugs that go into the back of the instrument cluster, as opposed to a wire each? I have attached a pic of where I'm going to mount it. It's not properly fixed ATM, but I'm picking up a bracket tonight to put it in properly. It will actually sit with the face almost parallell with the rest of the dash, not looking at the pssenger as it is in the pic... Hopefully it will all be good after tonight... I thought I was seeing things when I saw the cow.. Initially I though it was 2 people walking in the middle of the road who weren't moving as I approached, so I put the clutch in and reved up because people like that piss me off...then I looked again and it was a stinking great cow...INSANE! It wasn't far from Sangate rd...It was on melton rd whcih runs on the other side of Toombul... Michael

I've seen *New* RB26 Engines advertised in Aus for $15000 46n2

Thanks Zen... As I'm looking at the ECU which side is left / right (as it sits vertically) and are there any markings on the ECU (like Pin 1 to show where counting can begin? I hooked most of it up last night and took lots and lots of pics, so I'll be posting up a "how to" soon. I was hoping to get away without hooking into the speed and rev sensor wires, but I guess I have no choice. So those 2 wires will get hooked up tonight, and I'll take more pics. I would have finished it up last night but all of my attention was focused on a gigantic cow (yes as in MOO MOO) walking up the middle of the street in Toombul! I nearly smashed myself up on it :uh-huh: Nothing's funnier than seeing a cow in inner-suburban Brisbane out for a midnight stroll... I'll keep you all posted (about the timer that is)... 46n2

My harness just arrived :D Puhleasse people... the sooner I get answers, the sooner I can install it :burnout: 46n2

Thanks jl, I'll give it a go... Can anyone give me the wire numbers for the 32? Also, where does the TT harness hook into? I'm guessing the ignition, and I've been told it's easy...but where do the wires/plugs go?? Thanks 46n2

King_kw : Not too sure about a harness for Blitz TT. I haven't seen any anywhere. Can anyone give me the wire number for each of the following on a R32 GTT? RPM Sensor Speed Sensor Handbrake Sensor Thanks 46n2

Solved

That really can't be legal?! (non-informed opinion)... Which Nissan Dealer is that? try moorooka Nissan in Brissy, or if you can get the part No. I can call for you... 46n2

bump Anyone?

That doesn't sound right. If you order a specific part by number (for arguements sake lets say 12345), and they send you 12435 it's their problem - not yours because you've paid for 12345 - it says it right there on the invoice (point this out to them). I'd be speaking with the spares manager and clarifying that that is the way they operate...I'd be quite surprised... 46n2

It's the same here in Bris for some partsthru nissan, but it may be the most painless way. They just tell you that you have to pay for them up front to cover themselves...If you are able to get a part number, you can ensure that you are getting the right thing... Can anyone help 31Heaven out with a part #? 46n2

Thanks jl...I'll start digging. Has anyone put one into a 32?

Hey Hey Kids, Can anyone help explain to me how to install my HKS Type 1 Timer in my R32GTST. I have a wiring harness coming tomorrow and I'm really keen to get it in I need to know ( i think) where the harness plugs into the ECU, and what other wires I need to hook up. My understanding is that I'll only need to hook up a ground wire with the harness... Thanks 46n2 EDIT: For those who just read the stupid question at the top - I'm putting together a how-to doco if you're interested :burnout:

Spoke to BD4's but they seem to exclusively do HKS??? I'm going to have to take a day off and go visit a bolt/fastener specialist to source the bolts for the caster rods I have to go in... Thanks anyway... 46n2

Could be...I haven't got red stickers on mine (make them work faster lol), they look like those with a white HKS sticker & model # on them... 46n2

Mine are older HKS's from the look of it. I know the HiperMax Damper series are purple topped. Mine are black with HKS model #'s on them...I'll try and get some pics tonight... Michael

I've got HKS 'adjustables' in my 32, but how do I adjust them? I haven't got a dial. The best I can figure is I need to hold the bottom part steady, and twist the top. The guy at the yard told me they were adjustable. They're hard as anything and I want to soften them up a little for road use. See pic. sorry for the quality of the pic... Any help appreciated... 46n2

I had a thread repairer come out and "easy-out" the 3 snapped studs. Cost about $80. They drilled down & thru the middle of each snapped stud, and tapped like a little hex key in the hole, and just unscrewed them. It helped that I had the head off, but if you had the exh. manifold off and pulled the turbo out, there should (in theory) be heaps of room for them to work - in an RB20 at least. 46n2
