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 :)

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi guys my 94 r33 gtst fuel pump has gone out. I have a walbro 525 ready to go in but am unsure if I need to upgrade the fuel tank bulk heads? Ive heard that others have issues with the stock wiring melting... Ive seen alot of people recommend this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-nissan-skyline-r33-r34-silvia-s14-s15-billet-fuel-tank-bulkhead-hat-top-an6-with-high-current-connector-apex-2-8-delphi-fpg-100?variant=42873255198898 My current pump that stopped working is aftermarket but I had no relay mod or upgraded connectors. Need some advice please. TIA

      It’s new. It’s the cd009. I did take the transmission apart to mill down the bellhousing and had both housings come off the gears so wondering is something isn’t in right. I am running redline. I can get it in gear running too but it’s just not easier and it’s almost like 2, 4, 6, and reverse all the back gears aren’t happy going in

      Got keys and did a walk around the yard planning the landscaping works with the family that I will be doing Main effort: remove all the woodchip in the gardens that are around (attached) to the outside of the house and replace with 10mm blue metal, having woodchip close to the house is a recipe for inviting white ants, currently there are no white ants within the block and I would like to keep it that way I'll be buying some large raised garden beds to grow veggies and stuff, and the woodchip will be mulched with everything else that gets dug up, pulled out, or cut down during works Next will some minor drainage and landscaping maintenance up one side of the house, where the fuse box, AC, and solar stuff will go, about 12 mtrs long by 2 meters wide, I'll break up the soil, add gypsum and then I'll dig in a French drains about 300mm deep x 300mm wide and fill it with agg pipe and blue metal, then level out the whole area with a 50mm layer of blue metal, the soil, whilst currently pretty compacted, will break up well with the gypsum to aid in drainage, I'll then cover the area with a 50mm layer of more blue metal In saying this, the drainage issue is minor, but that little hidden away area down the side is untidy and weedy, and as all of the main elec stuff is there I want it neat and tidy to appease my OCD Again, the material excavated from the French drains with be added to the garden bed mulch, as will some rose bushes and some other crap looking garden plants, and a old apricot tree that is looking worse for wear The apricot tree is currently in a little roundish garden bed that is in the middle of the back yard with few other crappy looking plants around it, that will all be removed, levelled, re-turfed, and is a perfect spot for a hills hoist There is also a area about 3m x 2m between the rear fence and shed that will get some attention, it looks like some stuff was stored there and the grass is dead, that will also get broken up and mulched, and is a prime spot for a pumpkin patch I've guestimated that I'll need: 3 tonnes of blue metal, 12 meters of agg pipe, 5kg of Gypsum, and a hills hoist, so a few bags of concrete as well to set it in place (the house currently has one of those pull out 4 line jobs, whilst it works, I want a retro old school hills hoist), I am also going to run some chickens, there's a great spot for a coop, so a chicken coop to suit 4 of those lovely egg laying bitches will also be on the job card That should keep me busy for a while, and will finish off the back yard ready for a early spring planting of some veggies and berries  Once the main effort is done I'll start out the front, there's a large rock garden that could use some TLC, but that is only minor works Should be fully moved in within 2 weeks, the landscaping works will start then Fun times, retirement is good

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      It happens, that's what your single stage filler is used for.  If it is still visible after the 3 coats of 2k primer, it will be visible after the paint is laid down.  Its hard to give 100% perfect advice without being there in person, I'm very tempted to say stop where you are, fill your pin holes with a single stage putty first then keep going.
