Hooray. Ive finally worked it out.

You know the beep that happens when youre trying to work on your pride and joy and listen to some music with the door open and all you can hear is the "beep beep beep".

Well I found the control box to fix it

You have 2 options to fix this.

1. Get a ridiculously loud sound system, and annoy the neighbours...

or 2. Cut a wire.

I went for option 2 because I like my neighbours.

Located under the dash on the drivers side is a little black box labelled "smart entrance".

There is a black wire with a purple stripe on it. Cut it and wrap electrical tape over the ends.

Thats it.

This does not mean that when you leave your lights on you wont get that beep, you still will.

Thanks to Jack88 for informing me of the colour of the wire. :)

This is my first DIY so I hope it is helpful and not pathetic!!

Cheers, Jase. :bunny:

As my car is in a million pieces while it is getting repaired I decided to go looking for the wire you mention. I also couldn't find it.

So I went for option three which was to take that plastic strip off the door and disconnect the sensor at the door end. Took about 2 minutes.

The downside is that the interior light doesn't come on when the doors are opened, but that doesn't really bother me as much as that beeping did...

lol, by doing that, (and if you have an a alarm also) it will disable the alarm as its wired to the switch.

hey all

found another way to get rid of the beep without cutting the wire.

i simply listened to where the beep was coming from and unplugged the plug that went to the lil siren.

heres a video of mine. btw its a s1 r33 gtst.

hope this helps those that couldnt find the wire.

if you cant be bothered watching the video, its a lil orangy yellow box just on the left hand side of the steering column. it has a white plug with wires facing down.

was installing the alarm on the gtr and there are two plugs one for the door beep and one for the lights,on the back of the key barrel.means you have to pull apart the trim around the steering column. just unplug that and should all be sweet. no cutting of wires. (don't ask me what colour or anything as my dad did it who was an auto elec for a while).

hey just did mine, different way though.

entry is via the small pull out section near bonnet release.

on the right hand side, under the steering wheel is a black box with 'smart entry' on it, size is about 4cm by 7cm

undo 2 screws to take the box off the holding bracket.

take out white plastic plug from box. (sticks in there pretty good)

the black surround around where the plug went comes out, you will see where u can put in a screwdriver to jimmy it out.

take out the circuit board.

match up where the actual beeper is from where the audio holes are on the side (it is a round black cylinder abour 5c piece in diamater and 10 cm high)

CAREFULLY either:

1- prize it off with a flathead screwdriver and pull out the terminals with some needle nose pliers gently (i did it this way easily)

2- get a solder iron and reheat/undo the conection from the back

put everything back the way you found it :)

this way it wont phuk with you alarm or windows or anything else, cos everything is as it was, just no noise cos obviously no beeper :(

btw car was a r33gtst S2, should take about 20 mins max, have fun

LOL..to all these people that followed all these steps..

Easier choice, unplug the loom that goes to the beeper.

It's right under the steering column guys...listen and you will find a small black plastic box bout the size of a match box with a little hole in it where the beeping comes out of.

Everything still works fine..ie Alarm, windows..bla bla bla...

It's just the loom that sends a signal to the beeper to well literally beep and annoy the sh*t out of you.

Yep. I thought that was what people meant when they unplugged the beeper itself?!?!

Why you'd mess with anything else is beyond me.

      Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!

      The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...

      Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.

      I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
