Guys,

I've had my line for a few months now, loving every minute of it.

But something has been baffling me since word go.

on the back shelf there is a small (maybe the size of a 1ltr ice cream tub but flatter

) box with a few leds and whirring fans, when i asked the previous owner what this was (just after i had bought it) he shugged and said "a dehumidifier" i quizzed further and i was told that it came stock with his import.

No problems there, but the thing that is baffling me is none of my mates lines have one, or didnt when they bought them. Have i ended up with the ultimate rice accessorie option (pointless and electronic) or would some one have fitted it after purchase?

My Series II has one also and is constantly on - can't seem to find an on/off switch. My Mazda 626 Coupe import had one also (way back in 1990) that some kids stole out of it thinking it was a sub or something.

They were called air purifiers from what I remember - was your car a smokers' car in Japan as they seem popular with smokers cars.

Don't seem to do much though apart from use up power and take up space.

Cheers, Al

PVA,

Pretty sure yeah, it sits well clear of the rear window on the back parcel shelf. not rigged into anything mechanical in the space next to the battery, just power.

Sounds to me like it is a dehumidifier/air filter of some type, heh now the curiosity is why i have one but most dont. Makes me feel all special.

    • Just a thought, was that car and auto at any point of its life? If so, maybe whoever bridged the inhibitor switch/circuit did a not so good job.
    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
