Ok it looks a little different so this could be wrong but give it a try

Blue=Acc

Grey=Handbreak

Green=Ignition 1

Yellow/orange=Ignition 2

Black=Ground

just make sure u check with a multimetre

ps. I take no responsibility :P

why do you need a turbo timer?

they are illegal and pointless... not to mention they make your car easier to steal.

how would it make your car easier to steal? If your alarm supports a turbo timer, as soon as any door is opened the immobilser will kick it and kill a combination of fuel/ecu/power/ignition/cas.

My 32 came with a HKS turbo timer which I quickly removed.

The easiest for you is to buy the HKS patch harness, NT-1.

It has the plug for the timer and the male/female plugs to join to the standard Nissan plug under the steering column.

Guess that's why people suggest it's easier to steal, but you'd still have to overcome the immob. items.

ok thanks guys for the input i think i will still wire it in cos im gonna be bored this weekeend, im also gonna re-wire my rwd/awd fuse switch...

the thing only cost me 30 bucks so meh.

hey simon i read your build thread last night. impressive ride, and drift shots. sick man. i can get hold of a neo motor and box for my gts-4 but not sure if i want to put anymore money into this car cos i think i want something thats %100 rwd.

I have an oldschool HKS timer myself (but I have a patch harness as I don't want to hack apart my stock wiring). I can confirm the grey wire goes to the handbrake.

R32 turbos are oldschool journal bearing, a turbo timer is a good idea

If you don't hit boost the last kilometer home then that will be more effective than letting the thing idle for 1 minute... in most cases the engine is only gonna get hotter sitting there at idle.

ok so i found the proper instructions online

red - 12v constant

green - 12v ignition

blue - 12v acc

grey - handbrake

brown - rpm signal

black - earth

from the timer to the control i got thin - red

blue

black

brown

grey

white???

from the control module to the 3 pin plug i got thick - blue

green

orange

grey

black

hate wiring... spanners any day over a solder iron and test light!

  1. Should I run a Turbo Timer?
    A turbo timer enables the engine to run at idle for a specified time after the ignition has been turned off. The purpose is to allow the turbo to cool down thus avoiding "coking" ("coking" is burned oil that deposits on surfaces and can lead to blocked passages).
    The need for a turbo timer depends on how hard the turbo and engine is used. Running at full speed and full load then immediately shutting down (heat soak) can be extremely hard on a turbo. Water-cooling of the turbocharger's center housing has essentially eliminated the need for turbo timers or extended idling periods.

  2. Do I really need the cool down procedure on my turbo?
    The need for a cool down procedure depends on how hard the turbo and engine is used, and whether or not the turbo is water-cooled. All Garrett turbochargers must pass a heat soak test and the introduction of water-cooling has virtually eliminated the need for a cool down procedure.

    • find it funny everyone claims different fuel chains, do different things with their fuel blah blah blah. We don't have that many fuel terminals in Australia. The fuel tanker trucks drive into the terminal, fill up, and drive directly to the service station and dump out. The majority of fuel you get, is coming out of the same terminals. The variation is actually at the individual service stations and how good their tanks are, as well as how much turn over they actually have. Older fuel stations, that haven't had their tanks replaced are going to end up with the worst fuel. Also a lot of older stations have shit design, and shit maintenance, and end up with more water absorption into the tank. This is when you then get a bad batch of fuel. Other shit things happen, like tanker drivers have a f**k up, and starting to unload the wrong compartment on their truck into the wrong tank. 
    • This one?? In other news: I cannot tell the difference between my red MX5 with the silver grey hard top......... and the Ferrari 599XX EVO, they might as well be twins, well.......apart from the big wang hanging off the back of the Ferrari...🤔🤣, without the wing they are identical

    • I think you'll find we're confused about what you were trying to do and how you were doing it. I would have thought that block rigidity was something you measured while loading the block in beam or in torsion, and that you would do so before and after grout filling, to see if putting material in there created a "composite" construction with the expected rigidity increase. Notwithstanding that the true function of grout is less about gross rigidity than local (ie preventing bore deflection/splitting and tying the bores to the main bearing locations a little better, etc etc). It is nearly impossible to follow your description of what you've done without closing ones eyes and making "aliens" hand shapes in front of oneself to try to follow the manipulations you've made. It's still unclear to me what you were trying to prove.
