I was just looking around the on the floor of my R34 and I noticed this little box? Any ideas on what exactly it is?! My research seems to indicate a turbo timer even though this does not work as far as I can tell. Also we got the remote in the last picture with the car and had no idea what it was for (car was straight from Japan). I guess it might be for remote starting of the car?

Also I was sure all R34's came standard with an immobiliser security system but mine doesn't seem to have one, I wonder if it was disabled in order to get the remote starting to work?

I have no idea, will ask some people who can read Japanese properly.

Weird! :wave:

Damn it - looks like I will need to invest in a proper immobiliser or alarm. I just want the standard factory key with buttons though, I have having the extra button fob things...

I actually got the remote starting to work!!! I just had to flick the 3rd dip switch. Trouble is it keeps running the starter motor. In some of my reading on the unit (theres next to nothing in english on it) it seems there is an option that should fix this so it just gets it started then stops the starter. Will need some jap translated I think.

Will be handy for warming the car up in the morning as I am always late for work and tend to drive it a bit harder than I should when its cold.

a remote car starter is a good way to have premature failure of your starter, Normal cheap arsed systems work off a timing circuit (hence engaged for a while after the car starts). They should also sense when the alternator is running so that they cant re-engage once the car is running.

Unless you want bling, I wouldn't worry about it.

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
