Hi All,

Got a weird issue on my R33 and was hoping someone had experienced it before so I can find a fix.

Cars running fine, I turn the key off, turbo timer kicks in and counts down to 0. Car turns off; but, then straight after that all the normal dash inputs light up (airbag, exhaust, handbrake etc) and turns on again without any key in the ignition.

This is also the case if I manually turn the turbo timer off before I turn the car off and remove the key... (No turbo timer count-down)

My though is either one of the following (but I'm not an auto elec!)

1. A relay isn't working properly and needs replacing

2. Something is wired in incorrectly (turbo timer / boost controller) but can't imagine one of these would cause this to occur and both these items have been in for a long time working ok?

3. Something wrong with the car's computer?

Any thoughts and help would be most appreciated!

Cheers, Adrian :thumbsup:

turbo timer wired wrong.

So your saying after it counts down to zero, the lights come on and the car starts again?

how do you get it to turn off?

No the car doesn't restart..

But imagine all the lights on your dash when you have the key turned to auxillery (the klick before the engine starts) well that's what I've got. The car turns completely off for half a second, then the dash lights turn on again and I don't even have a key in the ignition.

I've also tested not turning on the engine, but turning the key onto the auxillery, then back off again and it doesn't make any difference - the dash's display stays lit up?

I'm starting to think it's a crossed wire into the ECU after mucking around tonight. Would that be a logical starting point?

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
