hey all,

my s2 r33 was equipped with the factory option of gps with screen and cd stacker. the guy i purchased it off removed the screen and replaced with a head unit but the cd stacker was left in the boot. There is also a gay a$$ looking antenna stuk to the bottom left of the windscreen which stretches out bout 20cm up the edge of the windscreen and 20cm along the bottom edge.

i wanna start removing some of this stuff to clean up the half a$$ed removal job of the previous owner.

is it ok to just snip the antenna at the bottom of the windscreen where it starts to go into the dash and then just tuck the end in?

could this also be done for all the wires leading to the stacker in the boot? Or are these wires used for any other stuff?

any suggestions would be helpful...

im pretty keen to just snip wires and hide them rather than fully removing the whole thing which seems to look like it would involve removing some interior panels and a lot of eff-a$$ing around.

Cheers

Michael

don't just cut it, if the factory head unit is out then all the wiring will just be loose behind the deck, take the glove box out and the trim behind it and remove the wire and the antenna, all the wiring to the gps unit in the trunk goes through cable trays under the carpet on the left side of the car and is reasonably easy to remove. There is no need to remove it though, other than cosmetics of loose wires behind trim, or the fact that you know that it is messy under there. if you have a phillips head screw driver you can get it all out. (i just wound mine up and cable tied it near the battery in the back!)

    • I much prefer that to an actual oil pressure issue, never would of thought it would of been a volt drop issue but SAU brains win again. Guess ill be turning down the oil pressure limit for the track and hunting some grounds. Ill hopefully update this thread with some high oil pressure and solid ecu voltage logs. 
    • You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster. 
    • Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!
    • That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect 
    • i cant get them all in 1 screenshot unfortunately as i just dont know how to move things around tbh, but they are all from the same log and the line crosses at the same point for all of them
