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

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.

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.

  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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
