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.

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

      @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣

      I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia.

      Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.

      I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).

      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.
