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.

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • 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.
