Today i was cleaning out the boot of my r32...

and down the sides i noticed some dirt (after i pulled all the boot lining out,) and found a pair of jap sun glasses! score!!

but what i really want to know is..

there is all these scres and stuff and i noticed theres something attached to them

so i was wondering.. what electonic stuff is ment to be in the boot (on the passangers side)

The 2nd one is for the fuel pump and fuel gauge sender in the fuel tank. The cover plate gives you access to the top of the fuel tank to remove the pump & sender unit.

If you can see the ground through that one, then someone has stolen your fuel tank.

lol yeh as blind elk says thats ur fuel pump in there. if u unscrew and lift that out thats ur fuel pump. and then yeh the wiring n shit for it is connected to the top.

then the other one is where ur motor and shit are for ur power aerial which is on the outside of the car just there, as people have said. :)

in my old S13 180, it had some kind of rattley sound from the boot, i spent ages trying to fix the jack in a solid place, it still did it. stuck my arm down the side of the car in the dark and felt round (bit aprehensive to do that realy haha), and i found ... a japanese golf ball! i now it was jap coz it had jap writing on it. hehe

For sure the bottom pic is the fuel pump. The middle one would be the rubber seal. For my car, I don't hv any antenna and speaker hole at the rear at all. I know all r32 use to hv antenna in the front wind screen.

Abo Bob - You have me a bit lost on that one.. im not sure where the problem is?

Also for everyone, in that top pic where it says "Glasses" i noticed there is a metal bracket screwed in on an angel, does anyone know what this is for.. i can post pics if your not sure what i mean?

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
