Hey all,

I know this is another thread, but still... it can't be too bad for us all for future reference. I'm wanting to know what these connectors are for and also what these little black boxes are.

All of it is from underneath the dash. mostly from centre area and toward passenger side.

I believe that they are for stereo, a/c & heater controls, glovebox light, possibly the sensor for a/c??, cigarette lighter... but there's more than just those - can anyone identify these at all???? They aren't connected an i believe they're not required, but i dont want to cut them out until i get some feedback.

cheers.

1.

Left to right

CD Player - i believe this is for steering wheel controls or something...plugs into factory deck, but aftermarket harness adapters dont utilize it. Does NOT control antenna, lighting, dim lighting, etc....assuming its for controls.

CD player, main harness (yellow = 12v, red = acc, blue = antenna)

Light for cig lighter, or ashtray....or it might be the harness for a lead that connects into that, and lights up the PRND21 for Auto's.

4:

Dash cluster (speedo, tacho, etc)

7:

One of the modules under the steering collumn...that might be time control module (responsible for locking doors when moving), turns light on the roof on when a door is open, emmits door open light on dash, etc.

8: That's the little f**ker that beeps @ 105+ kmp/h. Located same plase as #7

Not to be confused with the reverse beeper/door locked/open + keys in ignition/lights on beeper (which is behind the far right air con vent.

9: Same location...not sure, this would be another time control module, door locks maybe.

I've read that cutting these can cause problems with central locking / alarm arming, and confuse the ECU with HICAS shit somehow.

Best to leave those little ones except the speed warning connected.

10: I beleive is a relay for air con ?

Now then, post pics of drifter or ban :devil:

Thanks Nic (btw thanks again for the dvd i'm just about to start reading the instructions!) - that's definately a start! I forgot to mention that I have re-connected most things that are staying, including: dash, hazards, indicator and wiper controls, wiper control relay...

1 - ok - that's going!

2 - white female connector 2 pin - 1xblue wire with white trace, 1 xblue wire with red trace ????????

3 - big grey square???

white female connector 3 pin flat ??????

white female connector 4 pin square ??????

white female connector 4 pin flat ??????

4 - ???? It's not dash cluster - that's all plugged in. would it be for the aircon/heater controls???

(from left to right)

black female connector ?????

black female connector (wider) ????

white female connector ?????

white female connector (wider) ????

5 - black female connector 2 pin ????? cigarette lighter power ??????

6 - white female connector 5 pins - plugs into another connector a short distance away ???????

7 - white connector plugs into small circuit board????

8 - awesome - that's going! (and i can probably identify that other one on drivers side) :ermm:

9 - black box - other side is just blank ???????????

10 - nice. can this be confirmed???? if so - it's going!

1. -

2 Could possibly be the trigger for brake lights, or goes onto the full throttle sensor behind the pedal.

3 If this is close to the ECU side, might be a relay ?

Looks like relay to me...

4 Must be for air con, now that you mention it.

5 -

6- Possibly for the speaker behind the air con vent, that goes off for lights being left on, door locks, etc.

7, 8 & 9 just leave connected, all those modules under the collumn work together to do alot if different shit. Just disconnect the speaker for speed, but judging by the amount of sound deadening (or lack of) and the cockpit buttons, I'd say you probably won;t be hearing it anyway.

10 TBC

thanks again - definitely looking for more help with these if possible ;)

KRIS your input would be great aswell!

and Nic - pics as requested! :down:

Faaaark you are full on Huddy!

I see you have the same tubs as that S13 on ns.com - Ben I think his name is?

** Was this cef factory manual?

1 - stereo

2 - Foot brake plug?**

4 - A/C control unit

5 - Cigarette Lighter

awesome, thanks for that.

and no it wasn't factory manual so it has heaps of auto badness oozing out of it :D (so if you can identify more... sweet :( ! )

... and Nic - it's not my dash... just an example - mines cut to shit :(

Scratch number 2. I just checked it out and its not the same plug as the footbrake plug. although it looks very similar to the plug that is connected to the accelerator.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
