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

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
