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)

Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
