hey all,

my s2 r33 was equipped with the factory option of gps with screen and cd stacker. the guy i purchased it off removed the screen and replaced with a head unit but the cd stacker was left in the boot. There is also a gay a$$ looking antenna stuk to the bottom left of the windscreen which stretches out bout 20cm up the edge of the windscreen and 20cm along the bottom edge.

i wanna start removing some of this stuff to clean up the half a$$ed removal job of the previous owner.

is it ok to just snip the antenna at the bottom of the windscreen where it starts to go into the dash and then just tuck the end in?

could this also be done for all the wires leading to the stacker in the boot? Or are these wires used for any other stuff?

any suggestions would be helpful...

im pretty keen to just snip wires and hide them rather than fully removing the whole thing which seems to look like it would involve removing some interior panels and a lot of eff-a$$ing around.

Cheers

Michael

don't just cut it, if the factory head unit is out then all the wiring will just be loose behind the deck, take the glove box out and the trim behind it and remove the wire and the antenna, all the wiring to the gps unit in the trunk goes through cable trays under the carpet on the left side of the car and is reasonably easy to remove. There is no need to remove it though, other than cosmetics of loose wires behind trim, or the fact that you know that it is messy under there. if you have a phillips head screw driver you can get it all out. (i just wound mine up and cable tied it near the battery in the back!)

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
