hey

just wondering if anyone knows what these are... They are in my 1989 R32 GTS-T four door. It did have an air purifier on the rear parcel shelf but i have removed it cause it was broken/couldnt figure it out. And im not sure if they are to do with that.. i doubt it though. They have ALOT of wires going into it... I want to fit a sub box standing up and it just doesnt clear these 2 boxes... any idea what they are for...

i had that suspision too... i have removed hicas... but i was under impression r32 hicas was all mechanical... and ive removed the solenoid and the pump for it from engine bay... but maybe this box is to do with it...

I also recall reading somehwere there is a green wire i can cut to turn off my hicas bulb so it doesnt think there is an error.. rather than taking the bulb out i can leave it there and then when i get low power steer fluid it will warn me... but i wasnt concerned cause my light never turned on anyways haha but i cant remmeber exactly which one etc... just wondering if i can remove the whole lot of both of these and not be affected

Its your HICAS Computer / ECU... Well one of them.

Basicaly You have 2 ECU's. One at the front, behinde the left hand side pasenger kick pannel.

Two, in the boot where you have pictured.

Guess there is no harm in removing it since you have already removed the HICAS System.

The left hand module is your abs computer. In a gtr or gts4 it also doubles as the 4wd computer, ie both in the one module, but in yours just abs.

The right hand side one is the hicas and speed sensitive power steering module.

If there was a round one in betwwen the two, that would have been the audio amplifier, but it looks like you don't have that one from your pics.

The engine ecu lives in behind the panel to the left of the front passengere's feet. The automatic ecu lives in behind the panel to the right of the driver's feet.

Hey i know this thread is getting old but i was wondering if you ended up removing the ecu/s and if so wat happened.

Did you lose the ABS? Im asking because i actually want to remove ABS but taking the fuse out doesnt work apparently so i was wondering if i can just unplug the left ecu...? Will this have any unwanted sideaffects?

Or does anyone know any other way of disabling it? Can i wire a switch into the ground wire or something?

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
