Hey All,

I'm going to buy and install a greddy turbo timer into my r32 gtst, apparantly they can do vehicle road speed, 1/4 mile time 0-100 etc and all that works fine in my friends R33 GTST, but R33's have electric speedo and therefore the ecu knows road speed and can calculate. R32's have mechanical speedo and i'm not even sure that the ecu knows vehicle road speed and therefore the functions won't work. The car is a Type M but I'm not sure if it has ABS ( the car is still on the boat) so the ecu might know speed from that. I just can't get my head around it.

Also how do I 'bump up' posts of mine in the 'for sale' section. Any help = greatly appreciated.

to bump u just post in it, and it goes back to the top of that forum, but i dont think its allowed....not too often at least

not sure about the turbo timer questions, but im always interested in stuff that ill need to know when i get my 33, so yeah

there is a wire that goes to the computer.... wire 53 i think? this is the speed sensor wire...

ive got a greddy turbo timer and a R32 so i know it works.... just splice the wire and join it to the turbo timer wire and your TT will recognise the speed once you synchronise it :D

are you guys talking about just what speed your doing, but reading it from the ECU, and not the dash speedo which can obviously be out? or am i way off

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
