Hi all,

I have just wired up the GReddy turbo timer. I have got power, I can scoll thru all the programs, play with all the settings but i can't get the car to stay on once I turn the ign off. The power to the unit turns off once the ign is off. There was a workin Apexi turbo timer in the car, I have used the same plug but b4 i plugged it all in i checked that the wires corresponded to the right wires on the new timer.

I have wired up the handbrake switch but not the speed censor could that be the problem?

I don't know if it is a wiring problem or if I am stupid and i can't work out how to programe it.

Thanks any help much appreciated.

It is quite a strange problem as (from memory) there should only be four wires needed to get the timer to work. Could have something to do with the handbrake wire you connected.

The speed censor wouldn't affect that.

Sorry I couldn't be more of a help but what I can tell you is, I installed my timer myself and haven't yet connected the handbrake or the speed wire cables and it works fine.

What I am puzzled about is how come I don't have any settings? All I can do with my timer is change the time it takes to shut the car off.

Cheers mate,

I disconnected the handbrake switch but still no joy, I am going to take it to autobarn to see if they can work it out.

Thanks for your help though much appreciated

Hey, sorry I couldn't help you out. Sometimes wiring could get tricky especially when picking up where someone else left off.

Hey me have the exact same turbo timer and the same problem has anyone found out what it is?

Please help I have spent so many frustrated hours trying to work it out

mine was working well for 12 months then I got a flat battery as I left my headlights on and now

a new battery later and it won't work no more I can go through all the settings and seems to be working

but as soon as you turn the ignition off the engine turns off instead of turning off when the countdown is

finished

Please help with this otherwise the only thing i can do is take it to autobarn which is a fair distance for me

about a 2 hour drive.

Silly question, but doesn't the unit need a +12v supply, not a IGN switched +12v?

... I should rem, wacked one of these in 3yr ago. Lemme check the interwebs

EDIT:

Are you sure you fed the unit both a constant +12v and a ACC +12v?

The ACC being of course, one thats live only when key is turned to ACC :whistling:

I really do have to pull mine out, junki's stress me out.

Good luck

Hey, I completely forgot about this thread. I found the problem, it wasn't my wiring it was the turbo timer it self. My wife bought me the exact same timer for my b'day I plugged it in and it worked straight away. Somethung to do with the internals.

Cheers

I took mine out to autobarn today and the bloke said it was stuffed then he found the reset switch

and he pressed it and he got it going he tried it twice for me while I was there and it worked perfectly

so when I got home I went to turn the car off and it wont work the engine just turned straight off,

sounds as though I might just have to get a new one.

      Coolant leak?

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.

      Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo

      Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
