I've got the reversing beep too...like the trucks have. Also on another note...does anyones tiptronic beep when shifting gears? I could have sworn mine beeped during gear changes when I first got the car but doesn't do it anymore...or maybe I'm just hallucinating??

I'm quite sure the beeping speaker is in the steering column. Same beeper used for when you leave your headlights on and when you leave the key in the ignition and open the door.

I'm going to try to open it up tonight and cut the wire. Hope I don't set off the air-bags or anything.

looks like i must be the only one with only 1 beep when the gear (6MT) is put into reverse. But I had the optional Momo steering wheel, thats prob why...

I'm keen as to get rid of my reversing beeps as well, I'm confident that it is controlled by the BCM (Body Control Module).

Chris, please let me know if there is a way of removing it without effecting the headlight & other neccessary warnings, once you get hold of this new tool :thumbsup:

On a previous car I got rid of the beeping by simply finding the damn beeper and filling everything with silicon and letting it set.

Basically muffled the noise right down as in the absence of air there was no noise transmission and avoided any risk of screwing up some obscure electronic system that may or may not be present

My 2002 gt8 has the beep too, just curious as a I had a instance on 2 seperate occasions recently where I had the battery and park brake lights come on and a Japanesse girl spoke too me, by the time I got to Nissan to get codes from the computer it had cleared.

Would cutting the wire to this speaker remove the instance where the girl will speak to you?

Does anyone else find it amazing that no matter how old a topic is, someone manages to dig it up from over 3 years ago and everyone else continues to reply as if it was yesterday's news?

*cuts some slack* I remember the first time I discovered a message board I posted on pretty much every topic I thought was relevant without considering the date of the last reply... and for what it's worth, it was a daihatsu enthusiasts forum.

To keep this reply on topic to the original post.......

Reverse beeping is a feature commonly found on automatic equipped vehicles.

Filling the speaking with silicon will silence any other warning signals (ie lights left on, door open)

Cutting the reverse signal wire will stop your reverse lights from working.

My experience with consult is limited to 90's models.

figuring consult will turn it off.
Can you really turn features on and off using consult?? Edited by daisu

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
