mine has the conversion loom

its about $45 and probably worth it, i can unplug and remove the turbo timer and only have to cut 2 wires

Yeah mine does to i think, theres a bit of a story behind all this crap. I got an alarm fitted to my car that was supposed to have a turbo timer function built into the alarm so when i got it fitted i asked the auto elec to pull out the turbo timer. Well the alarm turbo timer has never worked and the alarm has turned out to be a big dud with lots of issues. Anyway when he pulled it out i dont now what hes done with the wiring, wether hes just cut it out or unlugged it. Ive no idea where the wires go and i dont want to take it back to him cause i found out when i pulled the dash apart today that the alarm was dodjily installed which is probably the reason why it doesnt work the way it should.

See in the first pic (left one), left hand side of the picture, there are the two plugs, one male and one female, joined together with short bits of white green blue and red wire, also has that black sheathed bit coming out of it. That's the turbo timers ignition harness.

To install it, pull the dash apart so you can see the key barrel wiring, you will see a plug where the stagea's wiring loom plugs into the key barrel. It will look the same as one of the plugs on the turbo timer ignition harness, unplug it and put the turbo timer harness in-between the stagea's loom and key barrel.

I'd also say one of those black wires if not both will be a ground, so you'll have to ground it/them to the chasis somewhere. You'll have to check that on a wiring diagram though.

Id say you are right about the black wires being earth/ground wires cause they are the only wires black wires coming out of the unit itself and at the first plug junction it goes from one black wire on the unit side to 2 black wires. And everything electrical has to have earth.

I had a funny feeling that was an ignition harness but had no idea where it went, thanks

Im still not sure about a few other wires though, on the harness theres a white wire with a plug on the end of it. Ive put a yellow circle around it in the pic so you know which one im talking about.

Also in the harness there is two wires that have been spliced into the red wire shown in pic with orange circle and there one wire spliced into the blue wire shown with the blue circle.

Theres also a plug that comes out of the unit shown in the red circle which has 3 wires of white, orange, and a pinky/purple colour.

Thanks

I have a harness that looks identical to that one on my car (was on it when it came over from japan) I've since cut it up and spliced my apexi pen timer into it. That white wire circled in red, I have it too, i tested it and it seamed to be a cranking signal, don't know what for but it isn't needed for the turbo timer.

The white wire circled in blue, looks like it's spliced into the accessory wire (from memory blue is the accessory on wire, green is ignition on) maybe it was for a aftermarket cd player.

The red wire will be a constant 12v positive, so the wires spliced into it circled in orange will be the same, again perhaps for an aftermarket cd player, etc

I'm not familiar with this turbo timer so I don't know what the plug circled in red is for sorry.

Isnt there supposed to be a wire that goes to your handbrake? cause when i had it installed as soon as the handbrake was depressed the cut would turn off. Or is that in the harness?

I guess ill just plug it in and wire those to ground earth wires and see how i go.

aahh, thats right. i forgot about the handbrake wire. probably because i never use it, i've always just grounded it out with the timers ground wire so it thinks the handbrake is on.

another thing you'll have to check is if your alarm will work with the turbo timer. if not when you arm the alarm it will immobilise the engine making the turbo timer kinda pointless (im assuming its an alarm/immobiliser). my alarm had a turbo timer function i had to enable so the alarm knew to wait for the engine to be shut off before immobilising.

All sorted mate just pluged it it and away it worked, also found that other 3 pin plug under the dash and pluged that in to. it had the purple wire going to the hand brake. I cant believe that the dickheads that pulled it out were going to charge my $100 to re-install it. It was like a 5 min job.

And yes my alarm has a turbo timer function in it. Im taking my car into a alarm joint today to try and get it sorted out.

    • Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol. 
    • Hi, Got the membership renewal email but haven't acted yet.  I need to change my address first. So if somebody can email me so I can change it that would be good.    
    • Bit of a similar question, apprently with epoxy primer you can just sand the panel to 240 grit then apply it and put body filler on top. So does that basically mean you almost never have to go to bare metal for simple dents?
    • Good to hear. Hopefully you're happy enough not to notice when driving and just enjoy yourself.
    • I mean, most of us just love cars. Doesnt necessarily have to be a skyline.
