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)

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
