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.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Automatic Power Button Light Flashing

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
