I pulled out my passenger seat to put in a GTR seat I just bought, and saw this box kinda thing coming out of the carpet with a plug that must have been plugged into something once. Does anyone have any idea what it is? I am very curious

not sure have a similar thing in my r33 s1, not sure whats it's for. I had a bit of a poke around with the multimeter with the interior light on, then the doors open, and with engine running and i couldn't detect any current.

I've got a SII Gtst and it has both drivers and passenger seat belt warning light harness, plus a cat temp sensor, so could be either, but I'd say seat belt. Logic tells me a cat temp sensor wire would be too bloody hot to go anywhere near flamable materials for at least a metre or so until it cools enough.

If it's the same as a R33 it's the plug for the cat temp sensor. The drivers side has the plug for the seatbelt.
If the car is a GTR, cat temp sensor, non-GTR who knows, most likely the seatbelt (I'm fairly sure only the GTRs have cat temp sensors?)

+1, cat temp sensor.

you can see that it has a stainless braid outside which is required for the heat resistance

nothing...unless its plugged in :D

it warns of high temp in the cat - ie cat blocked.

Yeah but where is the wire it plugs into!! Mine is the same as Pic with the tail but No connection to connect it into!!

Oh and what is that vent thing???? Been wondering about that to!

I checked after someone mentioned it was for the seatbelt and sure enough there is the other half of the plug coming from both the GTR seat and the GTS-t seat i pulled out, but I havent plugged it in yet. I might try tomorrow and see what happens.

Well I plugged it in and nothing happened, how anti-climatic. Kinda seems pointless. I also saw the cat sensor wire with the braided line nearby people were talking about.

I have no idea what it is but ill tell ya a funny trick

If ya fit airhorns under your passenger seat and wire it up to your glovebox

Then when casually cruising along with a friend oneday you ask them to get something out of the glovebox...

Absolutely priceless

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
