Hi all,

Just a few problems which are bugging me...i hope someone can help me out ;)

QUESTION 1:

I have a R33 Series 2 Gts-t with auto transmission.

I was fiddling around with the radio the other day trying to install a new Mp3 unit. After i was all done, the radio wouldnt turn on! The red dot that blinks when the engine is off still blinks but the unit itself wont work even after starting the engine. Furthermore, the clock also doesnt work! :)

Thinking i had blown a fuse, i opened the fusebox next to the steering column and there were three blown fuses.

I havent replaced these blown fuses yet but i was wondering how many more fuseboxes there are in my car... some threads mentioned a passenger footwell fusebox, an engine fusebox, and a rear boot fusebox as well...???

Do all of these boxes exist? Where?

QUESTION 2:

How the hell do i turn off that annoying reverse beeper?!!?!?

Is there a simple wire i can cut or do i have to remove the whole dash to rip the damn thing out?

QUESTION 3:

When my car is idling and when under mild/little throttle, the boost gauge is sitting on the negative areas? What does this mean? Is this normal? Im just confused because negative would mean are is being pushed OUT rather than INTO the engine...

Im a n00b so be nice :D

Cheers~!

Q1 - fuse boxes are located in the boot, under steering wheel and under the bonnet.

Q2 - yeah that noise pisses me off too....if anyone knows how to disable it let me know too!

Q3 - The boost guage is displaying 'negative' (vacuum pressure) on idle because there is no boost being created. This is normal.

  • 6 years later...

been searching ever were.. thought id ask here..

ive just installed a hks front mount side flowing intercooler... something like 400 wide and so on.. car runs great.. alot beta.. but just wondering.

When you installed a larger cooler and more piping.. does this make my vacuum boost lower on my boost guage?.. ive noticed its like 1.5 to 3 psi lower than it was before... wish i wrote it down from stock.. but i never new... thanx for anyone that can clear this up.. replaced all boost lines and all while i was doing this.. maby a older line was causeing higher vacuum ? thanx oh one other thing.. ive noticed my boost go up be like 1 psi or 0.5psi... but im gussing a larger cooler would do that?.. thanx

    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
