Hey Guys,

I have a Greddy turbo timer hooked up, it works well except that everytime I turn the car off and turn on again I have to set the turbo timer again.

Anyone know how to keep a permanent setting if its possible??

Cheers

Hey mate, this would be because who ever has set the turbo timer up has wired both power wires to the ignition source. To fix it you need to find out which one is the power and which one is the ignition. The power one should be wired to a constant power source, eg power to your ignition barrel. And the ignition power should only be on when the ignition is switched. Would be simple to fix with a multimeter.

Let me know if this helps or you want me to explain it better :blink: (I can't explain stuff too good lol)

Sweet, but you shouldn't need a shop if you got some idea on wiring or how to use a multimeter and soldering iron/crimps. Pretty much the same as installing a head deck in your car, just gotta find the right power sources

:)

good luck mate

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
