Gday,

Having a few dramas with the skyline atm, fixing wires and stuff but today i found an unplugged box sitting on the rear parcel shelf of the skyline.

Its a little grey box that sits on the drivers side of the parcel shelf, adjacent to the right speaker. Does anyone know what this box is for??????? should i have left it unplugged? i was thinking it might be hicas related????

the HICAS ECU is bolted UNDER the parcel tray. Correct?

i have a similar grey box in a bracket mounted above the strut top on the parcel tray, which i unplugged when changing the suspension and failed to plugged back in for a week or so. Didn't notice any changes or problems, is this the box your referring to silver1992?

there is nothing on the parcel shelf. Are you talking about underthe parcel shelf accessible from behind the rear seat back or accessible only from the boot

he is talking about the box on the driver side held by that little bracket on accesible from in the cabin.... thats what i think anyhow.... i found mine unplugged a while back i just plugged it back in.

the standard amp hey! , well i didnt know that... weird. thats a pretty small amp i might add! he he he, maybe i could sell it anyone hhehehehhe ;)

but hang on a minute, why when i plugged it in did i get uncontorable wheel spin through 1st and 2nd gears no matter how easy i took off? :)

No its not an amp, i know the box your refering to, it has several wires on the plug.

Orange - to the front of the car somewhere

Black - Ground

Grey - Goes to the Restistor pack near the Jack &Power Antenna

Lt Blue - Goes to Fuel Pump and to the top plug on the boot fuse/relay box (which then goes to the blue relay on the side of that box which is for the fuel pump), it also goes to the front of the car somewhere ..

I hope this helps you out

    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
    • I was just going to say that it's good to see you picking up the pace again. Hope the surgery goes well. More downtime just means more time to come up with new ways of digging a deeper rabbithole  
    • How do they compare in size? I have the Yaris coil packs in mine and they work fine. But they are either bigger or sit differently so the engine cover doesn't fit anymore. Not the end of the world but not great either. Do the R35 ones sit flush?
    • Righto,  enough of ADHD Anonymous! 🤣🤣 Rear end is completely stripped out apart from coil overs that will take 5 minutes.  Fingers crossed it doesn't look like that for too long!   Cleaning up some bits as I go so they can go straight back on. It amazes me how good stuff looks just with a good hard scrub! That will be it for a couple of weeks. I've got ot a bit of surgery Friday that will put me out of action for a few weeks. Hopefully the motivation is still there when I'm ready to get back into it!
    • The povo spec CA18S one, yeah. All turbos had 16x6.5 5 stud and 4pot brakes.
