Hey people, am chasing info from anyone who has hooked up their own Turbo Timer to an R33 and made use of the Auto Timer feature.

I am using a GReddy Full Auto Timer and it says to hook up one of the wires (for this feature) to the "Speed Signal Wire on the ECU harness". I have uploaded a couple of pictures from the Service Manual highlighting where I think it should be soldered into place if anyone could firmly confirm I am on the right track.

Cheers,

Aah Ok, thanks RB30-POWER, so essentialy then if I wanted to disable the 180km/h speed limiter I disconnect this wire from Pin 53, (so then I'm assuming ECU does not need this for anything else) but I still need to find the wire colour code then that feeds the speedo cluster side if it is disconnected?

Unfortunetaley the service manual I have does not have a Speedo cluster Wiring diagram, do you have an image of the speedo cluster for wiring?

I don't think I'd be doing more than 180km/h all that often so I might just hook it back up (if it's dicsonnected) to get this Full Auto feature working rather than just relying on the minutes countdown.

Thanks for the input.

If it was cut most people do it at the ecu anyway, it will be obvious.

People cut it to rid the speed limit, but the better option is always to use a speed cut defender, that will clamp the signal at a set value to fool the ecu into thinking its going slower then it is.

The speed signal is used for optimise fuel cut conditions etc, nothing major that many people would notice, hence people cutting the wire and thinking everything is sweet, when ideally speed cut defender or remapped chip is better option.

Little offtopic anyway, but yeah 53 what you want to give a vehicle speed signal to the turbo timer.

Personally I think turbotimers are full wank value on cars fitted with water cooled turbos anyway and would never ever fit one myself.

OK great 53 it is.

I don't have the car yet it's still coming up by train from Melbourne to Brisbane then I'm driving it from BrisVegas 1900Klms home to Cairns in around 17-19.5hrs drive straight through.

It does have a remapped ECU from what I can tell, the guy I bought it from could't tell me much about it though showed me a "tiny" picture of the ECU you can't read the name of, I don't think it's any AUS known brand name.

So before that trip I wanted to install the T/Timer I have purchased in advance for it, that way I don't accidently turn it straight off after 4-5hrs @ 110-120km/h solid driving to fuel up again and cook (lessen the life) the less than average stock cermic/plastic turbo bearing becuase it's not being fed the Oil it should be to cool it down slowly.

Off Topic again but please correct me if I'm wrong I thought the RB25DET had an oil cooled turbo config not water?

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.

      So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
