Ok, Im going to try this one last time..

I have a HKS Type-1 Turbo Timer that im planning to install into my R32 GTS-t this afternoon, however I have a slight problem.

I have no Electronic Experience what-so-ever

and to top that off the Instructions are in Japanese..

Now perform you run off and say 'Just by a harness' .. im saying right now Im not going to nor do I want to..

After much thinking, i think I have translated the instructions, and i need some one to tell me if this is correct.

Out the bakc of the Turbo timer, I have seven (7) wires..

the break down should be something like this (i think)

Red, Green, Blue (Double Stripe) - These three wires come together into a little plastic plug at the end.

I belive I cut this plug off and using solder i connect these 3 wires to the corrosbonding wires that come out of the key ignition?

Brown (Single Stripe) - I think this is ment to connect to some wire to read my REVs, however i do not know which wire or its location

Blue (Single Stripe) - Same as above, however I think this wire connects to my SPEED wire, yet i dont know where it is or what it looks like

Black (Single Stripe) - I think this is my 'Negative' wire as it has like a hook on the end, I believe i attach this to the body of the car??

Grey (Single Stripe) - Im unsure what this wire does but i think it needs to be attached to the handbreak wire?

As you can see im not to sure as to what im doing, but if anyone can clarify this for me and let me know what to do etc, before i break something.

Thanks in Advance

i just hooked some thing like that up in a mates car not HKS but same sort of deal

Grey - Handbrake switch, goes to the handbrake switch the wire is next to the handbrake. take off all the centre console and join it to the wire comming off the handbrake.

Black - Earth, a good bare metal point.

Blue - Speed Wire, goes to wire #53 on the ECU harnes. The wire is yellow-green with a silver trace.

Brown - Rev wire, once again on the ECU harness how ver im not sure which wire im sure someone on here will know

    • Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.
    • The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.
    • Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?
    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
