In the door there is a little rubber boot that gets pressed in when the door is closed, if you take the clip off holding this in there is a little white connection plug. One of these wires is for the beeper, I usually just unplug the little boot when I am working on the car with the keys in (e.g. listening to music with the door open while i work)

I want to get mine permanantly disconnected too, drives me nuts.

I also want to get the reminder beep for the headlights changed so that it works when the keys are out but the car is still running (so it reminds me when the turbo timer is still on). Otherwise I will just have to remember to turn them off - not hard but I never hear the reminder even if i leave the lights on cos it is always running when I lock the car.

Ditto. The problem is with a turbo timer it tricks the rest of the car into thinking the key is still in the ignition and turned on. You wouldn't want to have the headlight reminder beeping while you were driving :(

There must be a solution to it but it depends on your alarm and how much of a guru the installer is. I should probably hassle mine to come up with a fix sometime.

Failing that I've got jumper leads in the boot so if I do flatten it hopefully I can flag someone down and get a jump :O

your last request will take a bit of fiddling with relays- doable but a challenge. you need to tell the module that the car is 'off' and from there it will work. a single relay off the second output off the timer will do it.

as for the key beep. see above post I answered that one.

Heh.. with the turbo timer, I don't get the beep because the alarm thinks the car is still on. (and it is really)

Problem is if I leave the parkers or cabin light on, I don't get the chime.

Apart from that, what i'd really like to see, is someone convert the output of the beeper into an LED flasher. I'd find that FAR less annoying when vacuuming my car!

Geoff, i'll probably hit you up with some of those questions! =-D

I feel your pain people! It used to drive me insane even when i was just opening the door to get out and open the garage!

I had an auto electrician who went and unplugged a few things to get it to stop, although it also stopped other things like my interior light sensor,and other things that went through it, so i had to undo his bad work!

So then i investigated my self and found where the sound is coming from. Underneath the dash, near the steering column to the right, you will see a black plastic box, a bit bigger then a cigirette packet, its mounted on an angle parralel to the steering column, it has one bold holding it on by a steel braket. Pull of the removable pannel on the dash so you can see in better (i think this is for the fuses, cant think at the moment).

Unbolt the box and unplug the harness going into it. Then take it to a bench incase you drop it when you pull it apart. For memory it opens with clips on one end, and then the circuit board slides out from one end. Once you have the circuit board out you will see a fairly big black cylinder mounted on it. This is your annoying bastard of a speaker/beeper!

From there just grap your soldierer and carefully unsoldier it from the two pins coming out the underside of the board, and carefully pull it up and out while the soldier is still hot. Put it all back together how it was pluging the harness back in and your done. Enjoy the peacefull sound of silence!

This sounds hard but is piss easy, and i have found no problems with door sensors etc. since doing it about a month ago. It does not trick the car into thinking anything is on etc. I was worried that something ran parralel through the speaker as possible a trigger for something else, but I have seen no sign of this. Its completly reversable anyway by just soldiering the beeper back on. One of the best mods I have done! haha

What do we think?

do you have a lights on reminder??

Obviously not, as the speaker is not there anymore, although this wasnt an issue for me as my previous car was a VK Commodore, which barely had lights bright enough to be called lights, let alone, a light reminder. Therefore, forgetting to leave my lights on isnt really an issue for me as I have never been reliant on a reminder.

Dont know if the turbo/N/A skyline wiring is differant but thats how i did mine..

That's a nice simple way to do it. Can you confirm if it still beeps when you've left the lights on and key is out of ignition?

its for the door only... but im pretty sure the lights wire will be connected to the same box, I wrote that article on my boost cruising account, I found it by trial and error, Just removing a lug then putting the key in the ignition, and seeing if it still beeped, Until i found the wire which it didnt... Do the same except with the lights :) Ill actually go do this now.. Ill tell you how i go.

For the headlights on, Im 90% sure its the red with the blue stripe wire, As all of the lighting wires ive worked with on my car have been this color.. there is one in the cluster of wires that goes into that box in the link i sent... Im not sure how to pull the wire out though.. its differant to the other wirres.

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
