I have recently imported a 1997 R33 GTST skyline and was wanting to put in a turbo timer myself. I did quite a bit of research and found the one that i wanted which was the HKS type 1 turbo timer. I bought this and the harness and have been installing it today.

The car has a basic immobiliser.

I installed the harness fine and it works showing the battery voltage but because the skyline ECU is located next to the battery in the boot i am stuck trying to install the rpm Brown wire and the blue speed wire because i do not know where the ECU wires go. I have the pinout diagram of the R33 ECU and know what they need to be connected to but the turbo timer wires will not make the distance and i was hoping that they will come out under the dash but i am not sure which ones?

I was wondering if anyone has installed the HSK type 1 turbotimer into their R33 and if they have could they please give me a hand with info on where to connect these wires?

Thanks Heaps!!!

ok first problem here is that the ecu is not in the boot! its behind the passenger kick panel on the lower left of the footwell...

WTF i'm no stupid. When u take down the divider between that compartment it is practically in the boot. All i need to know is where the wires from the ecu go (rmp and speed).

If u havent got anything helpful to post don't post then

keep looking in the boot then and let us know how you go when you have it installed

Whats it doing back there?? Have you had it moved, cause last time i checked the HICAS steering-ECU sat back there and the ECU on my GTST (which i changed 3-4 times) sits near the passengers feet, behind the panel...

Anyways mine came with one installed, it was all in the harness, just plug and play... Know that since i removed it some months ago.

Hope it'll sort out!

Cheers!

Hi all, I have recently puchased one of these units as well, unfortunately it didn't come with an R33 plug. Lucky for me I have wired up a few things before. My question is, are there any harnesses off the steering column that will allow me to avoid having to wire all the way to my ecu? does anyone have a wiring diagram for the steering column?

Cheers, Dan!

Last time I checked my ECU was at the passenger footwell too!

wrong!

its in the boot because he says so!

PS: good luck wiring your turbotimer to the battery / fuse box etc. should work a treat!

      Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.

      Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell

      Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups.

      75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.

      Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
