I have an A'pexi turbo timer (pen style) and as far as i know it automatically sets itself according to how long/hard the engine's been driven.

At the moment it's just on a preset 30sec and i manually set it higher if i need to.

I can't get it to set itself. Does anyone know how this works?

Thanks :wave:

1. go to the screen where the time setting is displayed

2. push and hold the little joystick thing to the right where you can manually set it higher.

3. then push and hold the joystick to the right again. the manual time should change and display "3 n 1" or something like that. thats the auto mode.

i've never used it so i cant really tell you much more without going and digging up the manual.

Ok i did that, but when i turn the engine off it only counts down from 10secs! It doesn't change time automatically.

I checked the manual from the A'pexi site, and my guess is that my timer isn't wired up properly to the ECU, to monitor how long the engine needs to idle based on A/F ratios or some sh!t.

WHat's up with this?

My blitz on auto only counts for 10 seconds... you dont need any longer...

GO out and drive and bring on the boost... look to see if the timer has gone up...

if it doesnt something isnt working..

generally you only need longer than 10 secs if you have thrashed it all the way home.. which would be stupid turbo timer or not

firstly do you you get the a/f readout on the timer. if you do then its wired in. if you don't its easy to wire. the white wire with the red trace just gets spiced into the o2 signal wire on the ecu. cant tell you which pin it is but if you search for an ecu pinout diagram it will tell you.

yep. its wired in. hav eyou got the instuction steet handy read the bit about the auto feature. if you don't ten this is how it works. on the screen that displays "3 n 1"

the "3" or the first value stands for the maximun number of minutes it will run for. 1 to 8 mins is accepted

the "n" or the second value stands for the calculation rate of the timer, n = normal, h = high and l = low

the "1" or the third value stands for the minimun number of seconds x10 it will run for. so a value of 1 is really 10 seconds. a value of 6 is 60 seconds or a minute. values 1 to 6 are accepted

the auto mode is hopeless dont bother with it

just press right with the handbrake up and press right again to change the mode

you should just leave it on hard set mode and choose say 30 seconds

the auto mode you can set minimum idle to say 30 seconds if u want but it will end up dialing it to around 2 minutes on normal settings so its a waste

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
