R33 Gts-T Ignition / Dash Problem

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?

      That's awesome. Fully serviced/full log book history for one of those cars is super rare from what I know. With JDM's like Skyline's, Supras, are quite hard to find one with full log book history. S15's seem to be somewhat of an exception, at least the spec s australian delivered models.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      Hey all, It's been a bit since I have been able to update.  I pulled the fuel pump, first off it was a "universal" pump and the strainer was very clogged, and it was folded over on itself.  I replaced the fuel pump and all is well....  No more stalling.

      That's convinced me I'll bump up the G30-660 to 770   Any idea if the difference in boost pressure? Cheers

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Hey guys so turns out this project is going to be much bigger than I thought haha but I've done some my homework and have done a few panels on my car, but one part I can just not visualise is this. If I do a spot repair and I put filler in a dent for example and sand outside of the repair with 320 grit lets say so the primer can stick as I will only put primer on that repair and the surrounding area and then repaint the whole panel. Don't I need to make sure that I don't put primer on the old clear coat? I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down, it's still shiny. I thought putting paint on clearcoat or primer on clearcoat is a bad idea because it won't stick. So in this scenario it's a bit different to mine but imagine someone doing a spot repair and only painting that small section of repair but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat. What am I missing?
