HELP Installing HKS Timer with Harness

When looking at the pins on the ECU, the bolt in the middle which secures the harness into the ECU is a little closer to one side of the ECU than the other, the side that it is closer to is the "top". Reference my pinouts (above) once you have established that.

Also, once you have figured out which pin is which, i'd be looking at what colour and trace colour the wires are, and then tracing these same colours back to where they are under your dash to splice your TT wires to, instead of splicing directly onto the harness near the ECU.

I downloaded my HKS Type 0 TT instructions from the HKS USA website.

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 :(

For anyone who's anxiously waiting the guide I'm putting together :

It's now hit the 3.6MB mark as a word doco :D I may convert it to PDF which should shrink it down a bit, but it looks as though I'll have to email it to anyone who's interested when it's done... I'm putting it together in my lunch breaks at work because I don't have a 'puta at home, but it shouldn't be long now...

      Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.

      The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?

      Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
