Turbo Timer...can't Find It?

[Deziner]

My R33 GT-R has a turbo timer, only problem is I can't seem to find it.

The owner I bought it from thought it was under the steering wheel, but it's not. Had a good look under both sides under the dash etc. and not there.

Could it be in the back where the battery and stereo amp is? I had a look there but couldn't see one.

I did find a fire extinguisher mount under the dash on the passenger side. So even though I bought it stock may have been modified back in Japan.

might be part of the alarm,

If you are really keen to find it. Take off the steering column surrounds to get access to the ignition barrel wires. The turbo timer will be spliced into those wires so you should just be able to trace them back.

Or as said, could be a feature of an alarm, my alarm can do it if setup.

ive found one behind the dash before. worth a try to get in there have a looksee

[dont_ask]

Have a look in the air vents, stupid enough when i got my car imported the idiot place the apexi turbo timer inside the center air vent. I knew there was a turbo timer but unsure where it was, my importer and I took apart the dash and found it behind the center air vents. I was like "which idiot would place a turbo timer behind air vents" hope your one maybe the case that would make it simple.

Turob timers are actually illegal, so hiding them isn't the dumbest thing possible.

Ah...May be part of the alrm system then. Will have a look in the vents though.

Cheers all.

[Deziner]

Well couldn't find it anywhere.

However the alrm manual in the car has it listed as one of the options. So I am assuming that the alarm system is the turbo timer.

Thanks for the heads up on this guys.

My turbo time is apart of my alarm, try locking you car and the pressing the button again this turns my turbo timer off might work for yours

[ClutchBurndout-:(]
