Hey guys,

In the globebox, right next to the boost controller there are 3 plugs, two of them are connected and the 3rd disconnected, I *think* its for the Apexi pen turbo timer but I'm not 100% sure.

Unfortunately its not connected at the moment, someone ripped it out at some point :(

Does anyone know where I can get a connector for it like the pictures attached?

Anywhere that does postage or in the South Eastern suburbs would be great :D

Regards,

Gareth

Hi,

Ok sure but whats the part called? Does it have a name that I can look for on the website?

I should add that the turbo-timer came installed with the car (from my knowledge), its just that at some point between auction and Australia it got removed and I don't know how/why.

harness for apexi pen turbo timer

Hmm, I looked at the apexi pen turbo timer harness and I thought the connectors look different.

just change the male and female ends of it....jaycar or dick smith have matching plugs

Now that sounds like a good answer, I'll drop by dick smith and ask them for a plug that looks like that :P

Now I just have to get the wiring right with the plug and its all good.

DickSmith and Jaycar didn't have an exact match for the plug, neither did the place I got sent to in Carnegie (radioparts?)

Anyway, I've got a 2 sided 4 pin connector so my new idea is to remove the old connector and replace it with an Australian standard connector.

Only thing I'm confused on is the end of the Apexi turbo timer has 5 wires as you can see in the second picture, so how do I wire the turbo timer to the new connector?

I looked at the Apexi wiring diagrams but I don't think thats what I'm looking for, the "control unit" (the timer) has 5 wires that are not connected to any plug, I need to wire that to something but the only thing in the glovebox is a 4pin plug which I think is for the timer.

Regards,

Gareth

And I did appreciate your first attempt to help me.

I understand this as replace the plug in pictures 1 & 2 with a new plug that can be bought from Jaycar or Dick Smiths. Wire the existing 4 wires that are going into the plug into 4 slots in the new plug (female end?).

The wire your turbo timer directly to this new plug (male end?) and its all good.

Well at least that is what I want to do.

The part of your post I find confusing if you mention a "56276BL", a 6 way connector? I've bought a 56274BL, a 4 way connector because one end only has 4 wires...

My issue is the Apexi turbo timer, currently has 5 wires on the end of it, its not connected to anything and hasn't been since I got the car. And the other plug that it *looks* like it will connect to has 4 wires.

The problem I have is, how do I connect these 5 bare wires to the plug in my glovebox. Or am I looking at the wrong plug for this?

Some of these plugs in the glovebox run too a boost controller as well so I think this is the correct plug that I'm looking at, I'm not 100% sure.

Does that make more sense?

I'm better at the IT side of things unfortunately (software) >_<

P.S. I'll send my washing over soon lol

ok so you could answer your own question by this.....your trying to connect a device that has 5 wires right?Well IF the device was connected to the plug with 4 wires.....that tells me the person didnt do a very good job on fitting it.He has left one wire off......why?????Trace those wires and use what you need.....Dont assume....asumption is the mother of all f**k ups.......red wire------>12v hot at all times Blue wire -----> IG output (12v ign on) Green wire----> IG output (12v acc) Gray wire----> hand brake

Black wire ----->Earth White wire -----> O2 sensor

the device has 5 wires....thats why i suggested the 6 way connector.

i wont wish you any luck....its as easy and hair pie >_<

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
