Ok it looks a little different so this could be wrong but give it a try

Blue=Acc

Grey=Handbreak

Green=Ignition 1

Yellow/orange=Ignition 2

Black=Ground

just make sure u check with a multimetre

ps. I take no responsibility :P

why do you need a turbo timer?

they are illegal and pointless... not to mention they make your car easier to steal.

how would it make your car easier to steal? If your alarm supports a turbo timer, as soon as any door is opened the immobilser will kick it and kill a combination of fuel/ecu/power/ignition/cas.

My 32 came with a HKS turbo timer which I quickly removed.

The easiest for you is to buy the HKS patch harness, NT-1.

It has the plug for the timer and the male/female plugs to join to the standard Nissan plug under the steering column.

Guess that's why people suggest it's easier to steal, but you'd still have to overcome the immob. items.

ok thanks guys for the input i think i will still wire it in cos im gonna be bored this weekeend, im also gonna re-wire my rwd/awd fuse switch...

the thing only cost me 30 bucks so meh.

hey simon i read your build thread last night. impressive ride, and drift shots. sick man. i can get hold of a neo motor and box for my gts-4 but not sure if i want to put anymore money into this car cos i think i want something thats %100 rwd.

I have an oldschool HKS timer myself (but I have a patch harness as I don't want to hack apart my stock wiring). I can confirm the grey wire goes to the handbrake.

R32 turbos are oldschool journal bearing, a turbo timer is a good idea

If you don't hit boost the last kilometer home then that will be more effective than letting the thing idle for 1 minute... in most cases the engine is only gonna get hotter sitting there at idle.

ok so i found the proper instructions online

red - 12v constant

green - 12v ignition

blue - 12v acc

grey - handbrake

brown - rpm signal

black - earth

from the timer to the control i got thin - red

blue

black

brown

grey

white???

from the control module to the 3 pin plug i got thick - blue

green

orange

grey

black

hate wiring... spanners any day over a solder iron and test light!

  1. Should I run a Turbo Timer?
    A turbo timer enables the engine to run at idle for a specified time after the ignition has been turned off. The purpose is to allow the turbo to cool down thus avoiding "coking" ("coking" is burned oil that deposits on surfaces and can lead to blocked passages).
    The need for a turbo timer depends on how hard the turbo and engine is used. Running at full speed and full load then immediately shutting down (heat soak) can be extremely hard on a turbo. Water-cooling of the turbocharger's center housing has essentially eliminated the need for turbo timers or extended idling periods.

  2. Do I really need the cool down procedure on my turbo?
    The need for a cool down procedure depends on how hard the turbo and engine is used, and whether or not the turbo is water-cooled. All Garrett turbochargers must pass a heat soak test and the introduction of water-cooling has virtually eliminated the need for a cool down procedure.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
