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.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
