Hey,

Today i went and pulled apart my car, and when I was taking the inner door skins off i came acceoss a mystery box and wire.

I drive an R32 Gts-t

In the pitcure below, the BLUE circle represents some fuses, this appears after market to me, however I maybe wrong.

the RED box has me confused, I think it maybe a central locking system (stock im guessing) but the thing that confuses me the most is the wire coming off this box (circled GREEN) leads to a little LED looking this which was taped to the inside of my door skin.

Anyonw able to shed some light as to what this is and why it was taped there..

Thanks

Ps - I ave attached another picture of that apparent central locking box, there is a metal circle looking object beside it .. what is this?

Thanks

Yeah there was a sticker on it that said something about .. hang on let me go look

Ok that box in the RED Cricle has a yellow sticker on it that says..

PN CONT ASSY-LOCK DOOR

P# H0561 - 35F00

L# 2F101093B

?# 9403?

* I can't see the letters marked with "?"

I just checked locking the doors with the ket and the central locking worked fine, I then tried using it with the remote and it worked fine

And this was when I had the box unplugged so i'm 90% sure it's got nothing to do with the 'Central locking' system

Hmm..

Ok so far what ive found out is..

The black box next to the blue circle says something about an 'Amp' on it, I was thinking this was for my speakers, however when un plugged it wont wind up or down my drivers side window, so im sure this is the box that controlls the power window.

the fuses in the blue circle appear to be knew and connect to the door open/lock mecanizum. there for im sure this is the central locking for my NEW alarm

as for the box in the red circle im still trying to figure this one out .. but im sure it has somehtign to do with an old alarm system

Ok, I did some more looking around and i have come up with the following..

The box in the Red circle, I still have no idea what it does i traced 2 wires (red and yellow) that came out of the big collection of wires that connect to the back on this box, i followed it all the way out of the door to under my dash were the wires split and the red one goes off to the back of my fuse box, it then is connected to a purple wire that goes into my fuse box.

the speaker looking thing that was bolted to the door next to this box i managed to un plug and un screw and then turn it around .. which i have supplied a picture of, im guessin its a speaker

futher more i have attached another picture of another device that is some how connected to the madness of these wires .. im unsure what it does but it was just laying inside my door.

anyone able to shed some light on this?

i did manage to find the "stock???" central locking box which was bolted in the cabin to the right of the drivers foot well

this box in the red circle is basically the same shape and size as the current central locking box in my car .. is is possible that this box in the red circle is infact a central locking box that is part of another alarm system which has then been placed inside the door for some strange reason? (any idea why?)

let me know if any of this makes sense to you

thanks

Ok well i didn't get to draw it up, because its a bit complex to draw..

i think ive managed to GUESS most of the parts, however the one thing that has me stumped is their is a device inside the door, which i un plugged i belive this device has something to do with the actually door handle..

does anyone know why there is a box here and what this wires do?

Ok.. Well considering no one knew what it was and majority of facts point towards a 'Car alarm' I took it upon myself to rip the Loom / System out.

Below i have attached a picture of the loom and labeled all the parts, as i'm hoping someone may know what this actually is.

Heres a breakdown of the system..

A] This consists of 2 wire, red and yellow.. these two wires went through the door into the drivers side cabin, and then went up under the dash and 'tapped' into 2 different wires that APPEARED to somehow be connected to the back of the fuse box.

B] I found this part of the loom laying taped down inside the base of my door, Have no idea what it does

C] This clip connected into the base of an object that was located in the door and was bolted underneight the doors lockin mechanism. No idea as to what it is.

D] These two wires, green and black were also 'tapped into' the two wires that came out of the bower window control box

E] A very odd locking object, possibly a speaker?

F] This appears to be an LED inside a black case

G] This looks to be the main 'Mystery Box' It is the same shape and size as my stock central locking contol box

Hope this can help with the discovery as to what this is?

Regards,

Essential

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
