hey all,

just bought an r33 gts-t, all good.

the turbo timer however, is very eager, it likes to count down and cut the ignition whenever it feels like ie) when im trying to drive.

pretty dangerous.

it's a blitz japanese writing something-or-rather, can i disable it simply by unplugging the loom that goes into the back of it, or do i need to get down and dirty with a soldering iron?

It'd be easier for you to get down and dirty with soldering iron, however, it might be best to get mechanic/auto electrician if you're not 'electricial savvy' when I removed mine I got my mate to do it for me and it's sweet.

The problem you're describing, it's pretty dangerous - most likely faulty unit or dodgy wiring.

I don't see the point in turbo timer, hence the removal of the turbo timer on my 33, just cool down for couple of minutes before turning they key off, easy as.

Cheers

Just a quick question - going thru the pits early next week, is it possible to just CUT the wires going to the turbo timer unit itself? I wouldnt think so as it would f**k with the ignition system/relays n all that jazz...would the car just stay turned on or wouldnt start? Im fairly handy with a soldering iron so i can solder the unit back on no dramas...any help?

Just unplug it and see if the car will start.

If it does start, then you've fixed it without issues. If it doesn't, then you know you can't just unplug it....is it that hard to work that out? (@repliers, not OP so much :blink:)

My first skyrine had a HKS (I think) timer....had to remove it (see: unplug loom and stash in kick panel) for rego....car acts as normal when it was unplugged.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
