no, not the wire that goes to the bonnet pin. i'm asking about the black puck shaped thing with the plug and coloured wiring. its mounted to that steel bracket, just behind the pod.

That's not in my R33, thats for sure :)

I've helped a friend put a pod on his R33 too, and he definately doesn't have one either. I don't think I'm remembering incorrectly, but I don't recognise it at all

the green line follows the wiring as it comes in through the guard and goes via the plug, directly into the top of the 'puck'.

there are no other wires coming in our out of the 'puck'.

the dotted line shows where it turns inside the guard, and heads rear-wards. i can follow it under the guard for about 200mm, before its hidden behind the inner guard.

the plug looks like the standard nissan plug, ie same type as the boost solenoid, so i thought it was something standard.

i dont think its that.

there's only one set of wires going in, and nothing out. why would the harness lead to the engine bay, and do nothing once it gets there? strange.

could this have anything to do with the blinkers?

heres a shot of the under side.

it had a shitty alarm when i bought it. may have been a rhino. but i got a decent one installed.

as far as a dealer fitted alarm, not as far as i know.

what kind of pics do you need? thats pretty much every angle of it.

the writing on the top says PSC-22 3X0

what happens when you disconnect the plug?

also what series is your 33?

its very odd

good question. i havent disconnected it yet. i wanted to know what it was first. i had no idea it would be anything out of the ordinary. i will try it tomorrow.

i will also try to trace that wiring and see where it leads.

its a '93, series 1.

could it have anything to do with the ecu? its a unichip with boost controller module attached. but as far as i know, that only consists of two pieces which are both behind the kickpanel.

^ thanks mate. i'm still not sure what it is.

here are some more pics.

this is the path it takes into the cabin, behind the glove box.

there is a constant 12v at the red wire.

notice how its wrapped in the protective foam, as if it were factory fitted? confusing, because those joiners dont look factory :)

      thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
