R33 Is Stuck On Reverse Help

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

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
