My turbo timer died recently so i bought a 2nd hand one which has a slightly different wiring setup

Hopefully someone with experience will make sense of this...

In the Greddy TT manual it doesnt say what the grey wire[with the skinny metal plug]is for

I know that...

PURPLE wire is the speed signal wire-doesnt need to be connected

BROWN wire is for the handbrake sensor-can be connected or grounded

BLACK is the ground wire

My problem is that the grey wire from my handbrake already has a skinny metal plug on it

and was plugged into grey wire/plug on the old turbo timer

I was planning to splice the brown wire[on Greddy TT]into my grey handbrake sensor wire]

So if i connect the plugs for the hand brake sensor[grey wires]on the Greddy TT

what do i do with the brown wire???

ground it???

Seems to me the Greddy TT has 2 wires for the handbrake sensor???

The wiring diagram doesn't have any info regarding this either

dont worry about the grey wire on the new Greddy TT, just connect the brown wire on the new Greddy TT to the wire that goes to your handbrake, you said it was a grey wire. the grey wire on the Greddy TT from what i understand, is that it takes it one step further for auto cars and kills the timer if the auto is moved out of park.

hmm that looks like mine. pulled it of yonks ago as didnt like having a tt.

it was plugged into a matching socket under steering column then one earth wire from memory back to chassis.

dunno if grey wire was connected to anything. but if i pulled the handbrake lever the engine would turn off.

get it out of my spares bin/box tomorrow arvo and have a look / take a pic if it helps.

Here's the advice i got from an online seller...

" The grey wire is only used for the shift-lock feature on autos,

even then I don’t even know if it is useful "

If someone else can confirm this i'll go ahead & install it

Here's the pic of my timer.

Dug it out of the parts bin at home.

Grey wire was never connected to anything.

Brown wire, i cant remember if it was connected or not. If so it was connected to the handbrake sensor? or wire for the light in the dash.

The loom socket just plugs straight in to a socket/loom under the steering column.

Hope that helps.

Just looked on the Greddy website before finishing this post.

In the tech support section found these diagrams/manuals, this should sort you out:)

just had another scan through the manual (685.pdf), the grey wire connects to the shift lock unit.

    • The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!
    • Can I be your first customer? I would like hard lines done for the fuel system, 8AN up and 8AN back and the underside wire wheeled and coated (brush or sprayed) with that black tar shit.
    • Speak for yourself, I love the R33 interior. 32 is blergh. I like the 34 interior too. Then you start getting much newer in most cars and they all turn back to blergh. 😛
    • 500-600hp into a RB is already 'sinking endless amounts of money' into an engine. Especially a 30 year old engine. Unfortunately this is the RB Game. Considering stock power (or at least stock components) will do ~360whp on 98 by simply turning up the boost on the stock gear on a RB26, that would be where I'd say the cutoff point for "sinking endless amounts of money into the engine" Cause to even do this reliably you'd probably need to replace all the bits anyway cause they're old, starting your sinking journey anyway. I reckon the least painful way is rebuilding the engine to make 50hp over stock lol. The 'plan your ownership around a rebuild' was a common saying 15 years ago.
    • Well, the NA RB25 is nothing special in terms of the amount of power it makes stock, nor with any easy mods like extractors & exhaust, opening up the intake tract, etc, etc. And just like any small capacity NA engine, getting lots of power out of them takes a fair bit of money and, depending on how far you go with big cams and high compression and so on, quite grumpy to drive. So, boost is the answer. Many many many of them have had a turbo added. This is easy enough. Same as for any engine. Need the things you need to bolt on the turbo of choice, fuel system and management upgrades, clutch, stronger gearbox ( you do not want to run a boost RB25 through the NA box), diff, brakes, etc, etc, same as you would for most other NA+T things. Some much smaller number have had a supercharger added instead. These are good and cool, but have nowhere near the potential of the turbo route. All the same required upgrades apply. So, potential? Anywhere from not much to quite a lot, depending on how much effort and expense you want to go to. Is there value in the effort and expense? Objectively, no, there is not. If you're gaining enjoyment and don't mind blowing a lot of money on the project, then that's where the value is. Parts? Nissan dealers for some. Many many on-line vendors who do Japanese manufacturer spares (buy buying them from disposals at dealers around the world, direct from manufacturers, increasingly from Chinese knockoffs, etc) and warehousing them in Dubai or similar places. Amayama, Partsouk, etc etc. There are quite a few. Some local to Australia, some local to Europe, some local to the US. You can upgrade literally everything. For an NA, unless you're going to boost it, there's little point going past a nice exhaust, as I said above. After that (well, actually probably even before that) you should concentrate on making it handle the best it can, good brake components, light wheels and tyres, and just make it something to enjoy throwing through the curves. You'll never, ever win any drag races, so it needs to be taken as a nice point-to-point car. Throw in some Recaros or Brides, nice Momo wheel and gearknob, so it's pleasant to be in (because god knows, the inside of an R33 is not a pretty place!!) and away you go.
