hi all! my situation is my battery light is not working, so i need a voltmeter. i have an Apex (pen-style) turbo-timer (not-installed) that has a battery voltage feature. i already have a turbo-timer inbuild into my alarm, so i do not require the turbo-timer features. so my question is -

how do i install the apex timer for use as only a voltmeter?

the main wires it has are:

Red - 12V constant (obviously hook up to constant battery source)

Black - Ground (obviously hook up to earth)

Blue - IG2 output?

Green - IG1 output?

do i need to wire into the ignition harness? or could i just wire it anywhere?

can i only use 1 of the blue/green IG wires? or are both required?

thanks

sam.

Tha Apexi instructions say that some cars require 2 wires to be energized when the key is in the "ON" position, however I believe that skylines only need 1 wire to be energized when the key is in the "ON" position.

Therefore Red = 12+ Constant

Black = Ground (-)

Green = Ignition

Blue = Accessory Wire (Apexi manual states that this wire will just go to a wire normally energized in the "ACC" position.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info Nath! i just hope it doesnt try to still use the TT mode when i turn it off? Im thinking about splicing it into the CD player wires (12V, Earth, & Green wire to ACC), so that way it might only use the Battery mode?

cheers

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
