i have installed my new hks turbo timer, replacing a much older version of the same timer that came with the car,

the old timer was working fine, where as this new timer has power etc and appears to work fine but when i turn the car off the timer simply turns off also and therefore i get no countdown.

i grounded it and pluged it into ignition thingy, just like how the other one was setup,

there are 2 other cables that are not plugged into anything.. no sure what they are.. but the old timer ony had one spare wire.. which was also unplugged and it still worked fine..

anyone know what the problem might be??

cheers,

from memory the brown wire you have spare needs to be hooked up to another gound (or the same one as the other ground is ok). It is the 'safety' wire that mean once you switch of the ign, with no grounding of this wire the time switches off. to do it properly hook it up to your handbrake light switch, but if you just want the thing to work, ground it (that's how I hooked mine up as i couldn't be farked).

      Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...

      It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
