any nissan harness will work, readily available on ebay and performance shops. I think your real concern should be connecting fake/inferior electronics to your car and the associated risks involved. Read this first.

Thanks for the advice Chook...

I'm going send it back to the guy from ebay and get my refund...Better to be safe than sorry

I had a similar experience with a PIVOT TT, obvious fake, read about how they can get hot and catch fire....took a lot of emails and threats to get my money back.

Don't worry i just went through it. Spoke to a friend of mine and he brought the same one as mine and had all sorts of problems. I told the guy i want my money back...and he refunded me. Now i just have to send it back to him

Well I just installed my GReddy Full Auto Timer.. going really nice. I've got it mounted under the park brake release. Also I haven't connected the speed wire to the ECU (yet - still considering it)

The funny thing I noticed when me and my best mate while installing the timer is that the park brake safety wire can't be connect as the footbrake is wired differently (On normal handbrakes - it's should be 12V when the handbrake is on and 0V when the handbrake is off therefore the car will turn off as the turbo timer will turn on. but on the footbrake it's 0V when the footbrake is on and 12V when it's off)

That sounds very weird..Anyone else experienced this and is there is a work-a-round??

i installed a HKS tt using the footbrake, had no problems, works. TT handbrake wire connected to the brown foot brake switch wire.

I think you had the correct wire, 12V when off,

UPDATE..

Well after installing the alarm....My TT is reseting itself during normal driving. When i go to accelerate I can see it reset itself. It still works but obviously when out on a long drive and have it in auto mode it will reset and lose the amount of time it does. When it does reset i can hear the ignition barrel click like you've just turn the car on then it resets...At the moment I have spliced the wires to the ignition but I really do want to find the ignition harness for my TT for the piece of mind.

A Silly question...will the HKS harness work on the TT. Also if I do find the GReddy Harness...which one do i get??

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
