Hi,

my r33 gts-t came with a turbo timer when I bought it. I was told its an apexi. It is a silver thing, blue light in the screen and 4 buttons, two on each side of the screen.

the timer has three modes that I can work out.

1st - override, press the button and the car shuts off immediately

2nd - manual timer (I have set it to 1min and it counts down from there)

3rd - (which I havn't used) is the automatic mode, the car has a temp sensor in the top radiator hose and it runs until it is at a predetermined temp and shuts off.

The car is always in the manual timer mode (except for a couple of times when I have shut it off with the override when necessary.

Now this fault ahs happened twice, interestingly both were after giving it a bit of a run (not a thrash at all but having wound a gear or two out within the last 5 or so minutes)

the key is turned to off and instead of the turbo timer counting down it beeps loudly, the engine shuts off and the timer screen say 'PEFrr'

any ideas or experiences?

to check if its wired in

leave the car running in neutral

put on handbrake

turn the key off

let the timer start to count down

drop the handbrake during count down

if its wired in the engine should shut off

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
