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:

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
