Hey Guys,

Just need some input with a turbo timer thats installed in my car. I have one of those pivot turbo timer with a knob to turn it to 0, 1 or 3.

I believe it is a called a rotary switch. The other day i turned the knob a bit 2 much and snapped it. :)

Surely enough i have bought a new rotary switch and tryed and fix it but i cant find the bit that was snapped off.

I have no idea where the wires are suppose to connect to the rotary switch.

Does anyone else have this pivot turbo timer installed on their dash. Im after a pic of the wiring on the rotary switch so i can copy it.

I have tryed wiring it up but the cars stays on and doesnt turn of. :P

I have five wires:

1.green

2.purple

3.brown

4.white

5.grey

green and grey make the car stay on but doesnt turn of. It stops running when i connect the purple wire to the green and grey wire.

Thanks in advance.

AK

I would advise going to an auto electrician. Sometimes they give out free information.

If I understand correctly - you have five wires going into the back of the rotary switch?

Or you have five wires coming out the back of the timer?

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
