Just for your info, the series 2 does not have the sensor in the same spot as the series 1. I did not have to relocate it for the manual conversion.

There are a few cars getting wrecked on the forum, so it should not be too hard to find a cheap one.

Yeah there is an airbag one in the same area with lots of warning signs on it and yellow wiring running out of it. G-sensor would need to be facing in the "factory direction" so that it can tell if the rear of the car is stepping out, not sure what signal it would be getting if it was sitting sideways?

yeah turning it 90o is not good for it, the lateral and longitudinal g sensors are seperate and it will think you are turning when you are accelerating etc.

Of course it might make the attessa perform better (per the autospeed article years ago) but i doubt it relates to the xfer case dying.

Nick good spot for the sensor I might move mine there....mine is further back between the handbrake and the console bin but it is a very poor fit

As far as I can remember, the airbag one is the one right at the back in the last of those pics I posted. I'm not sure if it's a g-sensor or just the triggering device, or maybe both are in the same unit.

Here's another pic of it:

Yeah lousy torx bolts, had to buy a socket to install the handbrake.

I don't do too much rally driving, so hopefully the G-sensor doesn't take too much of a beating from my turning it 90 degrees. I will endeavour to turn it back now that I understand its purpose better. I'm driving my car full of gear with a trailer to Bathurst tomorrow, so I'll be taking it nice and easy. It's a very easy way to lower your car by loading it with about 500kg of stuff.

When I get to Bathurst I'll turn it around for the homeward journey.

Did turning g-sensor to factory position help?

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
