behind the back seats, just below the windscreen, right in the middle is a very funny lookin box with a strange lookin spherical fan or something, it seems to serve no purpose. Im a bit of a Newb when it comes to this kinda stuff so this is probably something that comes with every r32, but can someone temm me what it is !!! The picture below was taken with my phone, so soz for the poor quality. danke

looks like a kick ass looking amp

but they usually dont mount amps there becuase of heat issues and vibration

it could be an oldschool amp.. ive got another newer amp in the back.. is this really what amps used to look like??

can you get another couple of pictures of it?

i.e. one from under the parcel shelf (so, taken looking underneath the object from inside the boot) and one taken from the rear seat so it is clearer?

i think Osman_R32 is onto something... looks a bit like a rear air purifier i once saw in a Cima... though they're usually reserved for luxury cars....

The factory amp in mine was this tiny little thing hanging under the rear parcel shelf...

ok i took a few photos.. i tried taking a couple from under the parcel shelf but it didnt come up to well and i couldnt couldnt see anything interesting. Instead i took a photo of the wires that are coming out of the thing into the boot. My camera doesnt seem to like focusing on close objects so sorry for the blurriness of this photo.. theres another couple of photos from the outside too.

Looks like a fancy air purifier. Heaps of R32's come to Australia with passive air filters or little electronic boxes, but htis looks like a special purifier made for cars.

Still, it's a guess.

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
