I'm going to guess it might have something to do with the suspension???? My mates old R31 GTS-X had a button to firm up the suspension that was standard but was located in front of the centre console, maybe they moved it too the boot or omething like that it deffinetly is a strange one thats for sure will be interesting to see if anyone has seen anything like it before.

Have you tried tracing the wires to see where they lead too?

The fact that the box says KYB on it points to something like suspension.

It hasn't got a different rear end in it that has HICAS because i know the electric motor on later model HICAS was made by KYB.

Depending on the year it will either have an RB20 NICS or a ECCS 'redtop' motor if it's a later model one, I daresay its either HICAS or for the adjustable shocks - there should be a switch with 3 settings near the centre console and coin holder. AFAIK all of the GTS, GTS-X and Passages came with the adjustable suspension and HICAS.

Sorry don't really know much about them. So from what you have it looks like it could be a switch to tun the HICAS on and off.

      Rb25det Belts Change

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Everything I found online said never use it because it'll dramatically reduce belt lifespan.  No, but I have seen excessive v-belt tension cause the audible bearing noise from excessive radial load in things like alternators. So don't overdo it. Ideally you set it to manufacturer spec using a proper belt tension guage. I tried the "clicker" type gauges but those cheap things are trash. They read way too low even when you're careful.

      This is kind of where I've ended up for the most part. It's easier for me, easier for shops that don't have to deal with my weird criteria/picky standards, etc.

      Will do. Suprised if it's not the starter motor considering it's 30 years old. Will get a volt meter though. Battery is close to new.   Cheers for your help, always appreciated.

      This almost never happens these days. No. Clean your battery terminals and make sure they are tight. Use sandpaper on a dowel if you have to, to get oxidation off the inside of the terminals, particularly on the -ve. Check the earth cable from battery post to chassis ground and engine ground. Make sure the contact surfaces are clean - including the threads on the bolts that anchor them - because that's where a lot of the contact occurs. Wire wheel on a drill is a good thing for this. Make sure the crimps on those cables are all sound. Assuming none of that causes an improvement: Check the battery voltage after it has been resting for a while. If it's at the lower end of the range, put it on charge for a while, then see if it will crank better.

      I just checked my belt, it wasn't super loose but I could bend it past 90 degrees a small amount so I tightened it up and for the first time ever my car didn't crank first time, had to crank it again lol. Don't know if that was because I tightened the belt or if it's my starter motor going out (been having slow starts for some time). Coulda also been when I was recording I didn't crank the key properly and it didn't save the recording lol.   Is that a thing if you overtighten a belt it struggles to start?
