I had the same problem with mine, i got that pissed off with it that i pulled half the dash out trying to figure out where it was coming from. Anyway if u look up behind the dash above the coin tray ull see a white box. it unclips pretty easy, unplug the plug and pull the white box out. Here comes the fun getting into the box. They dont open easily so u might have to prise it open with a screw driver or cut it open with a hack saw. inside ull see a silver colour speaker type thingy. Get ur screw driver and rip the guts out of it. and the plug it back in and clip it back on that way everything still works and it will get rid of that anoying binging sound. YAY

ive heard that if you pull open the gear selector surrounding, next to the R bit. there is a wire... if you disconect that it shoudl just remove the reverse beep, other alternative is to leave you headlights on auto... that way they turn on and off with the car... thats what i did anyway :spank:

Hey guys i was doing a speaker install (sic) on my S1 on sunday and i found a really simple way to stop the beeps all together, just get under the dash remove the plastic cover and get to where the fuses are.

towards the back right behind a bunch of wires and fuse box you will see a black box with a white wiring plug going into it, i think the box has something like "nissan smart entry system on it" something like that it could be completely different but you will recognize it by its stupid title. If you leave your keys in the ignition with the door open you wont miss where exactly the noise comes from.

pull out the plug (this will stop your central locking/alarm from working) and remove the box , the easiest way into the box is through the top end where the plug normally inserts just get a small screw driver and you can take the plastic surrounding the plug off then remove the circuit board.

the black capacitor looking thing is what makes the noise so all i did was get a adjustable wrench and carefully pried the black dome off. the dome is what housed the speaker so get rid of that and the circuit board thinks it still functions but no noise!!!

put everything back together and your locking should work and no more reversing death!

does not work with turbo timer tho. i did it once by mistake, cause engine still running when you get out and lock the doors. my security light came on, and the sensor turned the lights off in the car.

got inside, when security light turned off the headlights came back on. all night, woke in the moring to a well light driveway.

lucky for a brand new dry cell i put in a week earlier :bunny:

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
