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.

    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
    • Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
