hard to see the photo, but no, its more then likely a airbag wire(normally covered in a red or yellow jacket), seat belt pre-tensioner firing wire, or a seat belt warning buzzer/light wire

do not ground the wire out , or use a test light on it. Digital Mutimeter only, it could be bad !!!!

Not sure what car you have but that would narrow it down , R33, 34 ?

well sounds like I was right,,, if its a pretensioner in the reel , either way I would test it right!!!!!!

never probe with a paperclip,,,, what a tool, lucky it wasnt a airbag... kaboom $$$$$$$$$

I had a bit more common sense than that... for starters, no airbag, so that's not gonna happen, and I tried with a multimeter first to see what I was dealing with. found one side was 12V and the other WASN'T a direct ground, but also wasn't completely open, so it was obviously a switch of some sort. Even if I was about to short something out, it's all fused, so if I popped a fuse, i'd be able to see which one and that would have helped me identify it anyway.

If you had no/very little electronics experience then I would advise against playing around with that sort of thing, but if you're careful and use some common sense it's really nothing major.

Ugh... yes... info would help *idiot*

It's an R32 GTS4 - it's a small black plug with one green wire and one black wire connected to it. It's under the driver's and comes up through a hole in the carpetting.

My car doesn't have an airbag, and no, the seatbelt warning light doesn't come on. But I'm also not sure if I have one. I'll double check that on ACC and see if I have one when everything lights up.

Thanks for the input so far guys

I can safely say your question is answered, its not a speaker plug. and more then likely a seatbelt buzzer or light. push under carpet and forget you saw it..lol

cause we all wear seatbelts,,, dont we ????

and samon, I dont know who is on the other end of forums questions , a pro, complete muppet or someone in between ,,, so to be safe and Professional .... I CAUTION people about what can go wrong before they go probing or wiring things... then blame me for a meltdown because they should have know not to use a paper clip that burns there hand as it glows red hot.... when it gets 12volts and a 30+amps pulled thru it. and when they drop it it burns a hole in the seat, or carpet, or the car just burns to the ground while they watch ?????

I have seen a paper clip used before to BYPASS A BLOWN FUSE,, they do melt just like a fusable link would when they have a dead short to ground and car battery amperage or worse a shorted alternator which is pushing A/C current thru a dead short (backyard fix job by a muppet with a mullet)

also witness someone use it to extend a spark plug wire to see if it sparked on the engine block to the plug in question ..... they kinda got a big shock... 60,000 volts worth as the hi powered racing coil... zapped them from the shorted, innocent paper clip ????? instant stun gun!!!

here here on the airbag warnig ... once watchedd a guy break his arm in 3 places with a test light

2 this day If im pokn round with even a DMM I still keep my A$$ out of range of the bags

EDIT:pulled bits of 3" nails out of an old jeeps fuse bluck once( battery to bomb 101)

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
