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?

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      Agreed, I've never seen a 260RS specific manual. As GTSBoy said it will mostly be stagea other than the engine loom https://www.hgeconsulting.com.au/stageaservicemanual.pdf

      You'lll likely have to make do with R33 GTR for engine/tranny stuff, and Stagea for the body. I don't know that there's even been an actual diagram seen in the wild.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny
