Hey guys,

I just brought the Apexi (looks like a copy) pen shape turbo timer. Now as per usual it did not come with the wiring harness. Now where can i go out and get the ignition wiring harness for the apexi turbo time to suit the Stagea??

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??

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
