lol, no airbags in these ol' 32s mate. ;)

I would say it's part of the AWD, HICAS or ABS systems. or it could be something as mundane as 'power window ecu'. really I have NFI, but there is a diagram in the service manual that will show you what it is.

I say unplug it and see what doesn't work. if it's something you need, plug back in. if not, put it in the bin.

Downloaded the GTR service manual ;)

The following is the "fuel pump control modulator"... I assume it's to provide variable voltage to the fuel pump depending on engine load.

Sound system?!?!?! ;) ;) ;)

The only sound I want to hear is the glorious voice of an RB26 ;)

I haven't done any proper tracing (I might have a closer look this afternoon), but when I reached behind there, there seemed to be wiring that runs out of the metal box towards the front of the car. I'm pretty sure that no part of the wiring loom runs up the passenger door sill, so it must merge into the loom that goes across the top of the rear seat.

Thanks mate, if your car blows up when you remove the box, let me know ;)

last time i got pulled over by a cop he looked at my aftermarket steering wheel, then asked me if the car use to have airbags.

i was like - "i bought the car like this but umm i doubt it"

he then pulled sunvisor down which had something about ABS written on it and went "AH HAH!! See! It did!"

i was like ;) *shrugs* "i donno"

ABS brakes ;)

I think the one in the boot is the motor for the aerial feel the top does the aerial come out of it ;) Not sure if the fuel pump thinggo can go in the bin when you direct wire it, cos you are still using the signal from the ecu to turn the relay on and off, if you unplug that box the signal from the ecu (via the fuel pump ecu) won't be there anymore, might have to do some tricksy jumping of the plug to keep it working.

If your shaving weight top left corner of the boot, hanging under the parcel shelf I believe is the factory amp.....bin....

1 fuel computer - replace with a direct wire to a new 30A relay in the boot

2 earth for loom - keep that

3 cat temp sensor - ditch it and replace with a bung

4 no idea either. it is not hicas or attessa they live under the parcel shelf (and there is an amp under there you can remove too)

looks like you are making good progress

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
