KrazyKong Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Hello all. First time owner of a Skyline and also my first post here. I'm trying to identify the Turbo Timer in my R33. I'd like to be able to check the settings are set correctly and can't for the life of me work out what it is. My vehicle is an import and I'm the first AU owner of this car. Here are the pics of the unit. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know the unit works, just have no idea what all the buttons do etc. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/274116-help-cant-identify-the-turbo-timer-in-my-r33/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moodles2 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 No idea to be honest, could be something disguised as a turbo timer but in reality is a radar detector (i'm guessing because it's written in english, only time you have a jap electronic part with english on, is if your japanese you don't want the authorities knowing what the device really is), or relates to the car security.

It's a Turbo Timer for sure and not a disguised something or other. It was working on AUTO mode when I first got the car and depending on how hard I had driven the car it idled from 30secs to 2mins. No idea how to get it back to this mode though. Was fiddling with it as I had an idle problem and thought it was causing it. Turned out my throttle box just needed cleaning. Now I've gone and messed with the settings and have no clue how to get it back to how it was. Thus I'm trying to identify it so that I can possibly and hopefully find a manual online or something.

Buraz Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I had a similar timer in my previous car most likely same brand, with same features as yours it has autostart built in etc. I think its called Starbo but could be wrong as there are diferent models, have a search in google and you will see there is no info what so ever on how to use them and everyone seems to have the same problem as you. I have however figured out how to use my one and its pretty cool, but since have forgotten LOL. My advice play around and see how you go, see if you can work it out or just buy a new one in English as they are pretty cheap these days.

Buraz Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Just had a search, you have Starbo G15 turbo timer Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/274116-help-cant-identify-the-turbo-timer-in-my-r33/#findComment-4648160 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrazyKong Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 Just had a search, you have Starbo G15 turbo timer Many thanks Miran. Spend many hours going over the searches for the Starbo G15 and came up with a few results. Sadly did not find a website for Starbo though. Found a bad quality scan of 2 pages from the instruction booklet, so hopefully I can get that translated perhaps.
