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

geez, he's trying to help you and you bite his head off!

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!

gold.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
