Ok, i've done this before and it worked perfectly!

i've found a few things on my car that i can't work out what they are or do! here is one of them!

Behind my front number plate is a little black box with a wire to it. i can't follow the wire as it goes into the engine bay and into some foam and i can't find where it goes. Could it be to do with my alarm? it appears to have a hole that faces the ground...

I don't think i'm right, but all i can think of is it could be something to do with the front numberplate lights????

Or the alarm siren?

it looks too out of place for it to be factory and to do with number plate lights. i will set my alarm off in it's quiet mode and have a listen. that is an idea :) cheers for the reply :)

ok, just set my alarm off and it's definitely not the source of the alarm noise...

If it is hooked up to the alarm, it kind of looks like a shock sensor. No idea why you would mount it there though.

Can you take it off and take a photo of it? It also kind of looks like some sort of water intercooler sprayer.

10 extra hp mystery box?

:( hit the nail on the head

it probably doesn't do anything, no idea why anything else would be mounted there. disconnect it and see if anything changes.

Another vote for ambient air temp sensor. I had an R32 before and I remember a thing like that being just under my front bar as well, and some how i found it to be the temp sensor.

I guess if you wanna find out then move it to right near your engine, or put a blow dryer on it while the cars on and see if your temp display on the AC dash display goes up....(no idea what operating range it has so I take no responsibility)...... :(

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
