Is it clipped onto the under dash trim? If it were an R32, I would say it was the beeper.

The pursuit of decent power in my auto ?
GTSBoy replied to paulzy123's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Nope. The Supra coolers are junk*. You do not want them. *They're better junk than the little Nissan ones, but still junk. They are also quite poor from a thermal efficiency point of view. Short tubes. -
I meant factory keyless entry.

R33 instrument cluster LED swap
GTSBoy replied to SteppingHat's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
They are most certainly polarity sensitive. Hence what I wrote in the first reply. -
Um....didn't know the R33s had a driver's side actuator. R32s certainly don't. They're only useful if the car has keyless entry, which was not common in either of their vintages. If it's stuffed, you could still follow my advice & just fit a generic actuator.

What factory one? They don't have them!! The driver's door is the master. You turn the key and a mechanical linkage unlocks the door. The switchbox detects that and passes it to the passenger door controller & the one and only actuator in the car opens that door. Search and see. Here's a clue. https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/475597-clifford-alarm-install-on-r32/?tab=comments#comment-7893615

Powersteering Rack Question R32 HCR32
GTSBoy replied to R324u's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Obviously the cap has a seal, and if the seal isn't sealing...... Equally, the big hose on the res is on the hot side of the engine bay, so can get brittle with age and crack. Let's the red stuff out there too. FWIW, my R32 has never spilled any from the res. I replaced all the hoses about 5 years ago when I did an engine transplant though, so it's not like it should leak! -

R32 GTR EFR 7670 Build
GTSBoy replied to Dievos's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
No E85 mentioned. -
Yes and no. Or, more correctly, no and yes. Guards have nothing to do with bonnet and grille fitting. GTR grille does only mount off of GTR headlights. I have GTR bonnet, grille, headlights & bumper on my car, with GTSt guards. The proper GTR bumper is slightly too wide/wrong shape to be squeezed onto GTSt guards, but it does fit. There are repro GTR bumpers made to suit GTSts without that extra little bit of width. It's possible that there are probably imitation/fake GTR grilles available somewhere that can mount onto a GTSt front end without having to have the right headlights, but I've never looked into it. I say this because of the existence of GTR style bumpers to go on GTSts....there would need to be a way to fit the grille without having to have the headlights too. Having said all that, in this day and age of 3D printers and Sikaflex, it should actually be possible to come up with something to stick onto GTSt headlights that would provide the GTR grille mounts.

Turbosmart manual boost tee locked?
GTSBoy replied to JackieTran's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
A small one, at that. -
This. Always this. Even better with GTR grille & bonnet.

How the hell, and why, did you end up with sidefeeds on a Neo?

Why do people hate the R33?

I think it's spoof. -
dual vs single entry fuel rail
GTSBoy replied to Murray_Calavera's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
It's a big and complicated explanation that I can't be bothered running all the way through. Suffice it to say, with enough fuel flowing through a skinny fuel rail, there can be times when the pressure at the outlet end is lower than at the inlet end and this could cause problems. Centre return simply halves the length of the rail and halves the qty of fuel flowing in each half of the rail. This leads to ~ 12% of the possible pressure drop from a single entry. -
Converting R33 20e to Rb25DET
GTSBoy replied to Lockediff's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
What do you mean you searched and couldn't find the answer? It's only been asked on here about 12*10^19 times in the last 20 years. The clutch pedal installation is a case of removing the pedal box from the manual and installing it in the auto. Plus arranging for the appropriate holes and bolts in the firewall, clutch plumbing, clutch pedal switch & wiring inside. You need the manual gearbox loom (basically the whole lower looms from the lower driver's side of the engine bay). You need to get rid of a few annoying things like the neutral start inhibit circuit. I don't know why I am typing this stuff out though, because as I said, there would have to be bunches of posts and tutorials covering it. -
R34 idle control motor hose help!
GTSBoy replied to 34-GOKU's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
A little more clarity is required. 1. When you say "braised", I assume you don't mean "cooked in its own juices". I assume you mean "brazed", as in "welded". 2. When you say "brazed", I assume you don't mean that a hose has been welded. Are you talking about a metal pipe? (ie, not a hose). If you need to replace it, but can't find one, then another repair is almost inevitable. Just get it welded up by someone who knows what they're doing. If you need to try to find one brand new....good luck. Perhaps Amayama or Kudos or one of the other stockists of NOS have one or can find one for you. Wouldn't hold my breath though. Otherwise......2nd hand from a wreckers. There have to be plenty of Neo inlet manifolds sitting on shelves from busted motors.- 1 reply

Now I know you are on drugs. Yes, it looks awesome*. No, it has nothing R33 GTR about it. *Awesome as in a 12 year old boy would stiffy up over it. It is a very childish/hotwheels car sort of concept to smash a Corvette and S20 together. -
R33 instrument cluster LED swap
GTSBoy replied to SteppingHat's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Millions available on eBay. Some are great, some perhaps not so great. Look for the traders with many many feedbacks and google them. You will soon pick the good from the bad. You will not need a diffuser. Just buy a "kit" to suit exactly your car and it will take you half an hour to do. Then another half hour to redo the ones you put in back to front. -

Need assistance with a project :)
GTSBoy replied to Itachim8's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Delete HICAS & ABS and enjoy the time saved in trying to get something you don't need working? -
Nice. Keep it out of the sun. The dashboard and the top of the rear seats will thank you (as will that paint, if it's any good).

Clifford alarm install on r32
GTSBoy replied to hcr32ROB's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Ebay. $6 each with mounting hardware from Australian suppliers (still same Chinese crap, but arrives in a few days). These are the same actuator with the same wire colours that have been available for 30 years. Even if it dies in 5 years - it's only $6. -

Yes, you need a generic actuator for the driver's door.
