hello

i have an apexi turbo timer and have checked the apexi site but im still a bit confused on the wiring. I am putting it into a r32 gtst skyline.

do i NEED a harness or can i just hard wire it in?

im not using my handbrake cable so im just leaving that our, the other cable are

red- constant 12v

black- earth

grey- handbrake( not using)

blue- accessory power and ignition?

yellow- ignition?

i have all wired in besides handbrake, and the two ignition wires, now do i need 2 ignition wires or do i just hav one on the accessory power supply and 1 on the ignition. and what wires do i plug into the ECU if any? any help appreciated, such as which ignition wires to splice into! :laugh:

thanks

Josh

If it wont work without handbrake wire wired it may need a positive charge so hook the handbrake cable to accesories. Try it not wired first.

ok i have ;

red- constant 12v

grey- accessory power (handbrake one)

blue- (accessorty power)

yellow- ignition ON

and black earthed

and its still not turning on or lighting up? ive checked all the wires and joins and they seem fine,

that is wired up right isnt it ? :S

ok as far as i can tell:

red- constant 12v

black- earth

grey- handbrake( not using)

blue- accessory power and ignition?

yellow- ignition?

red is the input into the unit, when the ignition is off, the timer routes this power through the yellow to keep the ignition on.

the blue wire must be the trigger, whe acc+ign go off, the blue wire loses voltage and the timer switches the yellow on (or, the yellow is always on, and the blue lets the timer know that it is now in control)

yellow and blue may be the other way around (to keep ign and acc on, i dont know) but this is probably how it works

earth is earth. duh.

so all that is left is the handbrake grey wire. this must be a safeguard of some sort so it knows you are parked. )if you crash and switch off engine/it cuts out, i doubt you ill have the handbrake on). This looks to be the problem then, whatever signal you are putting through this wire is the wrong one. If you still have the handbrake wwire connected to your handbrake ie dash light works, then run a cable to the loom on the handbrake in your console, you only have to remove the handbrake boot and you should be able to see it. if that makes it work, then hide the wire under the console and your done, if not, maybe you blew the timer setting it up

good luck. i dont have a timer, and have never installed one, but im a logical man and this is how i assume it works

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
