First pic its the oem boost solenoid. Do you have some sort of boost controller installed?

Second one looks to be somekind of diy switch. Could be for anything really. Possibly a power switch for aftermarket gauges, lights or something like that. Only way to find out is to follow the wires

First picture is a boost solenoid which may have been connected some type of boost controller before it was unplugged.

Second photo is a on/off for something as others have said - if you want to find out take it out and then follow the wiring. My guess is it was for something boost related but has since been removed. Very stealthy to have it mounted by the door.

Third photo is a fire extinguisher holder. Most Skylines (all, if I’m not mistaken) came with portal fire extinguishers but most have been removed.

Cheers.

I believe that's for a flare (not fire extinguisher) as required by law in Japan.

Actually, now come to think of it...I think you correct. Then some people place fire extinguishers there but originally yes it was a small black flare.

People don’t put fire extinguishers there because it will be hard to reach while in the drivers seat, usually it’s on the right hand side of the passenger foot well or under the drivers/passengers seat. Also the flares are red.

Right, you are (photo of flare on same spot).

Since you are not using the stock boost controller you must have an alternative. The simplest would be an R32 actuator. Trace back from your actuator to see where the line goes and you will find an aftermarket controller if fitted.

I followed the wires from the actuator they lead inside the dash through the firewall and cant follow from there, this sunday im going to take the dash apart and find it, has anyone got a guide to do it? If it was a car i normally work on i could take it apart in less then 5 mins lol, im guess for this it will take a few hours to pull apart and put back

That's a factory boost solenoid with factory wires that will lead back to the factory ecu. Hardly worth chasing, certainly don't pull your dash apart to solve this non mystery.

So dont bother using it then?

Well, that depends on what other boost control you have.

 

Also, there is an obvious misunderstanding as to what terms is being used here.  The item in the photo is the boost control solenoid, as others have said.  The "actuator" referred to by Kiwi is not that solenoid.  He meant the actuator that is mounted on the turbo that pneumatically pushes on the wastegate lever.  Not the same thing at all....although, obviously, related.  All part of the boost control.  Anyway, there are no wires on the actuator.  There wires on the solenoid are as Ben said.  You should follow all advice given.

From what i can see inside the car there is no other boost controller, also what causes a door window to tilt towords the inside of the car? Photos attached, the purple line on the window is the window hitting something on its way up so i dont use it but previous owner did, the first photo is what a owner had done to bypass the solenoid

Unless that's an RB20 actuator (and I can't be stuffed searching the part number to check).....then you have a whole 5 psi and your car should be as slow as all f**k.

The window is easy.  The stuff inside the door that keeps the window aligned (so, either the runner channels/rollers or the felt pads near the top) are stuffed.

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
