ok so the common problem people have with c34 stageas and turbo timers is when the lights are on auto and the turbo timer is on and u get out the lights dont turn off even when u open the door you must wait till the car shuts down then open and close the door very anoying.

The easiest fix is put a relay on the earth wire {black wire} to the auto lights module behind the instrument cluster and hook it up to the ignition so when the turbo timer shuts down the lights go out no matter what. i wired mine up that way 1 week ago and works great.

i even covered the sensor on the dash with a black sticker so the lights are always on when i am driving looks better and safer

parts needed 5 pin relay

female spade terminals and crimper

screwdriver

test light or multimeter

relay pin 30 cut earth wire from auto light module

pin 85 ignition

pin 86 earth

pin 87a other side of cut auto light wire

have fun

Yep the cluster needs to come out and the box is just behind it held with one screw I don't have a photo of the relay that I put in but just get a normal automotive change over relay and follow my instructions and u can't go wrong

Weird I've never been in one with out it.... (Been in over 10)

Personally I wouldn't put tape over the light sensor on the dash either as this is also used by the climate control unit.

The sensor on the Passenger side is for the climate control, driver's side, auto lights.

    • 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.
