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?

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
