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?

I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
