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.

Thanks josh

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.

    • Yeah, hard to find and a pain in the ass to change with the transverse engine. I’ve worked on a GTiR before and it’s not a job I’d ever want to do again. theres a company in South Africa that makes RS3 gearbox adaptors for the AWD SR20 including gearbox mounts, so I could modernise it and go a dual clutch with paddles. For now tho, it ticks all the boxes. Super cheap, can throw the kids and their junk in the back, and SR20 that I can turbo cheaply, a CVT that’s not a dog’s breakfast like the V35, and has 80% interchangeable parts with stuff I can source from the wreckers cheaply…. But it’s still unique. I love the wagon back of the Autech version. It’s cheap enough that I can buy another stock manual FWD Primera with SR20VE, swap the gearbox to the N15 pulsar short gear ratio box, swap out the brakes to the R32 ones I pulled off my 32, register it on club plates and take it racing. $1300 shipping from NZ. Heaps of parts and aftermarket builders for transverse SR20’s in NZ.
    • Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.
    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.
