Trying to help my son install a Greddy full auto turbo timer on his R33 S2 GTST and having some problems with the ARK "plug & play" harness.

I removed the steering column surround and unplugged the wiring loom at the back of the ignition key barrel, assuming that is where the harness would plug in, but the plugs don't mate up.

Is this the right place to install the TT harness, or is there another plug further down the loom that it plugs in to? Hard to see without removing the lower dash, which looks like a pita to remove.

I didn't order the harness, so there is a slight chance it may not be the right one.....

The car also has an immobiliser installed, so if anybody knows whether that is going to cause me more grief, and any advice on how to deal with it would be appreciated.

Otherwise I will need to concede defeat and send him off to the auto electrician, but I was hoping to save him some money by having a crack at it ourselves first.

Cheers,

JD

I just put the ark harness in my r33 s2

I had 2 modify both plugs on the harness plug an the ignition plug , I removed both the tags on the side of the ARK plug n on the ignition plug I had to cut a piece out in the middle where the ARK plug is to high but once that is cut out it should slide straight in

Mine works perfect an I also hav an immobilizer doesn't effect it at all I jus lock my car n walk away

Let me kno if you need any other help

Thanks Michael, we might have another crack at it on the weekend. I just didn't want to go hacking into the stock harness plugs if I could avoid it.

Were the modified plugs still a tight fit? Wouldn't want them coming loose, but I guess a couple of wraps of insulation tape might solve that problem.

He just got quoted $350 to have his new exhaust system fitted, so I guess we'll be doing that too. Looks like it's going to be a busy weekend. :blink:

Cheers,

John

    • Lol a few are like that with no intention of being reborn unfortunately. 
    • Done, I'll do mine soon too - whenver I take out the car next. I can cheat and make it quieter by turning off VCT at idle too - but I lose the braps
    • All trim back in wired running driving. Few things to follow up on but not far off the return to the road. att.6HN4wP38LTIOISkhA8eACoBFqzfgQMahZPLA8ut0pqE.mp4 att.w2q0ux2PGuqgQTj2Os13cNHQtqcSEcCAhD_CAXy_IQM.mp4
    • The trouble with phone apps is that they really do not know the sensitivity of the mic on each specific phone, whether there is some sort of cover or skin that can change that, etc etc. So the readings off them are not calibrated. You certainly couldn't be sure that you were even within 3 dB. I have the same app on two (actually more than that) different phones/tablets and the readings in the same room at the same time are never the same. I don't mind the apps - they are as useful as a dyno - if you're testing for delta from thing1 to thing2. But not to try to generate some sort of absolute value.
    • I'm gonna use the "Sound Meter" app from the Google Play Store and as close as I can bother to these procedures: 4. TEST METHOD FOR ALL VEHICLES EXCEPT PRE ADR83 IN-SERVICE GOODS VEHICLES AND OMNIBUSES 4.1 Microphone position 4.1.1 The microphone shall be directed towards the orifice of the exhaust outlet and shall be supported by a tripod or similar device not providing excessive acoustic reflection. The general requirements for positioning microphones are shown in the Appendix. 4.1.2 The nominal axis of maximum sensitivity of the microphone shall be substantially parallel to the test site surface and shall make an angle of 45 degrees ±10 degrees with the principal direction of gas flow from the exhaust. 4.1.3 In selecting the 45 degree alignment from the outlet of a motor vehicle fitted with two or more outlets, only the angle resulting in the microphone being farthest from any other outlet must be used. National Stationary Exhaust Noise Test Procedures for In-Service Motor Vehicles Page 3 4.1.4 The height of the microphone above the test site surface shall be equal to that of the orifice of the exhaust outlet ±25mm but shall not be less than 200mm above the test site surface. 4.1.5 The distance of the microphone from the exhaust outlet orifice shall be 500mm±25mm. 4.1.6 [Relates to vertical exhaust outlets] 4.1.7 For vehicles fitted with one exhaust outlet the microphone shall be placed so that the greatest possible distance is achieved between it and the vehicle. 4.1.8 [Relates to multi exhaust outlets] 4.1.9 [Relates to multi exhaust outlets] TLDR: 200mm off ground 45 degree angle relative to exhaust flow 500mm from tailpipe exit. (I probably won't use a tripod) Here's a photo, cause I read the instructions wrong myself.
