Hi guys and gals,

just a quick question after installing an apexi pen style turbo timer and was wondering if anyone knew how to program the O2 and AFR part of the timer as the instructions with the timer aren't that clear. any help would be great. ps its for a series 1 r33 gts-t 94 model.

cheers chris

There is no programming. It's as simple as getting a pinout diagram of the ECU and then tapping into those respective outputs.

You don't need one. Uninstall it and buy something useful.

This. Listen to it. I have one and I dislike it immensely. Used to think it was cool and that everyone thought I was badass. My have even thought it served some remote purpose. But it's not, nobody does, and it doesn't. They are just annoying and they cause problems. If I could be bothered ripping it out then I would, but it's no longer working anyway so I just leave it there.

Mine is generally switched off in most cases but is mounted right up in the upper right of the windscreen, nobody see's it and its of no bother :) Most trips in the car wouldnt warrant having it on...

ok from what im gathering the af and O2 function are just wank, set the timer and be done with it! cheers thanks guys.

Martin, i spliced into the loom at the right connector just doesnt want to work. just wondering if my o2 sensor is shot because the autometer guage never reads accurately as well.

any way thanks for the info and feedback gents.

Is the Autometer a wideband? If not, then it will never read accurately. If it is, then that's why the O2 sensor function won't work, they only work with the stock narrowband signal.

martin its a narrow band guage but its never raed accuarately only maybe once or twice in its life. i also connected the apexi time directly to the o2 sensor loom in the engine bay and went for a fang never got above .5v which makes me start to think the sensor may be stufed. the motor does have over 320K on the clock. but still pulls hard and drives well. whats the average life span of an o2 sensor anyway? any help would be greatly apperciated.

cheers

Well what do you consider accurate? The only thing a narrowband gauge will ever do is flick from lean to rich. Off the top of my head, the sensors operate between 0.4v and 0.8v; but will typically be at around 0.45v. If it's not showing over 0.5v, you may have a stuffed sensor, or the gauge you are using is junk, which wouldn't surprise me.

If you are getting any semblance of decent fuel economy, then it won't be a stuffed sensor.

car still gets around 550km if nursed or around 400km if flogged per tank. only has rebuilt turbo (roller bearing and steel ex turbine and blitz nur cat back exhaust. so i guess i just got sucked in by the techno wank factor :rant:

:cheers: cheers thanks for the help

Dont install it man, just dont flog it for 10mins before you turn it off, there the biggest wank factor out and it makes your car ALOT easier to steal.

Even 10 minutes is a lot of overkill. 1 minute is plenty.

    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
    • Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
