Hi there,I took off my passenger door trim a while ago on my GTR33 and fitted new speakers ,while I was there I found a black wire connected to the door panel at one end only that could go anywhere within an 8" radius but could not find where it was once connected any ideas,I posted in the audio section and got no replies so thought I would try here,I reckon it was broken off during compliancing but not sure.Cheers Grey Pearl.

Hi,

A black wire connected to the door panel?...

Well, I think it may have been a grounding wire for a previous application.

Do you have all wires connected to your speaker in the door? (all 2 ;) )

If it is bolted to the door, most likely is a grounding wire. I have no idea what it may be for, but only what my have been. - Unless there is something still inside the door that may need it.

You will see similar examples in the engine bay, with grounding wires bolted to chassis panels. etc. - Come to think of it, I think I have similar circumstances with one just dangeling around under the bonnet.

Good luck. :P

Thanks for your reply KI Spirit,yes I think you are right,it looks like an earth to me too ,possibly for the electric window/doors,I guess I will just connect it up to the door card,can't think of any where else it could go,btw I would find a home for that earth wire in your engine bay as they are important from what I've read.Cheers Grey Pearl.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.

      It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By Duncan · Posted

      So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
