Ok so the car did this once before, the reverse warning sound (the *beep* *beep* *beep*) is stuck and also the reverse lights are stuck. The car drives fine, switches gears fine, handles fine, revs fine, etc... but the reverse beep is stuck and the reverse lights are stuck ( I removed the bulbs) but the beep is driving me insane whenever I use the car.

Any idea what could the problem be? Anyone know where the reverse sensor is?

There are two sensors on the driver's side of the box.....if you drive on the RH side lol.....it is the one furthest forward from memory. The switch will either be stuck on inside or the wires are bare and touching. You only have to touch the two wires together and it will do what you are describing. I would guess it's the wiring and not the sensor as usually people do a half arsed job in that department and the sensors are a pretty basic operation

Well this car was converted to LH drive... >_< so the wiring is something I was looking into fixing in the future when I do a wire tuck inside the engine bay was also going to have my mechanic fix all the half assed job of relocating the relay box and wiring. If you could provide me with a picture of what you're talking about I'd be very grateful. :) (this sound is driving me nuts)

Thanks!

You don't need a picture, there are two sensors poking out the side of the box, then the speedo. If you actually look, you will see it. Difficult to get to from under the car but you may have to drop the gearbox crossmember to lower the box to gain access to the switch. Trust me, look and you will see it

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
