hey

When i take my car out of park i ususaly have to put my foot on the brake first.

But now i think the switch is broken, ive been trying all morning to take it out of park and ive stuffed around with it trying different things and no luck.

It happend a cuple of times early in the year but i just turned the car off and back on again then it would work..

Anyone know where that trigger switch is located so i can have a look?

I assume its next too or around the shifter itself?

Thanks

Brendan

The shift lock control unit is located under the lower dash on an R32 models, don't know a great deal about R33 but I supose its in the same spot, the same thing happened to mine when it was auto and I just got used to using the manual shift lock over-ride which is a switch located at the base of the shifter at the front and it has a little red tab on the top and when deprssed it will allow the shifter to be moved.(they made it this way so you can put the car in neutral with out the ignition turned on.)

i tried using stiky tape temporarily but also it seems as if the

switch isnt strong enuf to pull the latch to move the shifter

or

it could be the plastic part which i taped up has a spring attached to it which seems like its too loose or tight for it to move..

im takn it to my mechanic monday to see wat he thinks.. :(

      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.

      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.
