Do you have the car beeping with the door open, and the keys in the ignition?

Mines makes a f**n annoying beep when the keys are in the barrel, and i open the door...im gunn rip it out soon :P

edit/ your factory central locking system is that loom above as well...its obviously been replaced and taped up inside....more labour to strip it out completely...just lazy people installing a/m alarm....

bl4ck32 - i'm pretty sure that beeping comes from a little box under the dash, which can be access by taking off the cover that goes from the fuse box to the centre console. its just mounted to the plastic with a white plug in it, disconnect that and u wont have that beeeping anymore (it worked for me).

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

Essential,

I have the same box in the drivers door of my R32. I think mine is just central looking, but i've never bothered to follow all the wires for it so it could be an alarm.

The only bits i've ever really taken notice of were the box in the door and the little black piece that you marked F. This looks like an infrared receiver for a remote. Unfortunately the remote didn't come with the car. In my car the piece marked F is clipped into the top of the door trim.

Next time i have the door trim off i'll see if theres anything else connected to it.

Maybe it was a factory option alarm or remote central locking system.

I'm fairly certain that this unit has nothing to do with controlling the factory central locking (when you use the key), all it does it activate the solenoid in the drivers door and then the module that controls the central locking (probably in the dash somewhere) thinks that the drivers door has been locked with the key and locks the passenger door.

I don't know if that mad any sense.

Cheers,

Tom.

it looks like they are shock sensors...some cars have those for when someone backs into/opens their door into your car the alarm will sound.....also that speaker thing could be the "blip blip" speaker for arming the alarm.

Tom G - Yup sounds exactly the same to me .. my led was taped to the top of the inside of the drivers side door trim.

im sure it is for an alarm as i noticed my car had a sticker on it saying something about an alarm but its in jap so i could not read the brand name

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
