So I don't know a lot about cars and what things are but i'm installing a FMIC on my R32 GTS-T and there are these discs with a screw in the middle near the latch in front of the radiator. Are these horns for the car? I need to remove them in order to get this on it seems and I just want to know what they are first.

Sorry for the dumb question, like I said my car knowledge isn't a lot.

Wow.

Fair enough you don't know but how hard would it be to find out?

Disconnect and beep horn and see what happens?

The car won't explode.

Don't have to resort to the Internet as first point to solving a problem!

Or alternatively if you really want to Google something, search for what a horn looks like.

You can't just bend them back out of the way, or mount on a 90deg bracket?

If you can't readily identify a car horn; intercooler installation might not be the job for you.

Everyone's gotta start somewhere.

Perhaps, but some assistance from an experienced friend could save a tonne of heartache on this front.

Oh wait, that's what he's trying to do.

Yes they are horns. We only put one back in, and disconnected & removed the other one. We found somewhere nearby to bolt it to - a bit higher up the centre bar than it was before I think, and facing backwards. Just check that it's loud enough, and if not make sure your finger works (horn not working, watch for finger....)

      Slimline sub on the rear parcel shelf is doable. Pioneer TS-WX140DA is only 70mm high.

      People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.

      What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Easiest way to know is to break out the multimeter and measure it when cold, then measure all the resistances again once it gets hot enough to misfire. Both the original ignitor and the J Replace version. Factory service manual will have the spec for the terminal measurements.
