I need to pull the boot apart to install the actuator for the VSS muffler I bought from Chasta.. Lining this up as a pre-Christmas bludge day project...

Whilst I am mucking about in that part of the car, what the hell, how about some cheap Chinese eBay parking sensors...

Questions...

  1. Is there a feed to the reversing lights somewhere in the boot area, rather than having to get into the tailgate to pick up the feed?
  2. What wire do I cut to disable the reversing alarm, as I think I am know old enough to know if the car is in reverse or not... :yes:
  3. Black sensors fitted in the bumper, or silver sensors fitted in the "bumper panel" mounted on the boot lid?

Think that is it for now...

Thanks for looking.

1. The wiring would go down one side or the other, but by the time you chase it back from the lights you'd have already had it connected. Unless someone else happens to know exact colour/s etc

2. From what I've read it's part of CAN-Bus so can't just be 'cut', unfortunately.

3. I'd go lower down for better visual appearance (IMO) & ease of access for wiring.

Post some pics when done, yeah?

1) You can access the reverse wiring at the top of the boot lip behind the plastic pannel in the middle of the roof. It pulls out quite easily. From memory it comes from the drivers side of the car so probably runs from the front of the car down the drivers side.

2) I think that you will find this hard to disable.

3) fit the sensors to the bumper.

Good luck.

      You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not

      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
