I pulled out my passenger seat to put in a GTR seat I just bought, and saw this box kinda thing coming out of the carpet with a plug that must have been plugged into something once. Does anyone have any idea what it is? I am very curious

post-63044-1253066669_thumb.jpg

not sure have a similar thing in my r33 s1, not sure whats it's for. I had a bit of a poke around with the multimeter with the interior light on, then the doors open, and with engine running and i couldn't detect any current.

I've got a SII Gtst and it has both drivers and passenger seat belt warning light harness, plus a cat temp sensor, so could be either, but I'd say seat belt. Logic tells me a cat temp sensor wire would be too bloody hot to go anywhere near flamable materials for at least a metre or so until it cools enough.

If it's the same as a R33 it's the plug for the cat temp sensor. The drivers side has the plug for the seatbelt.
If the car is a GTR, cat temp sensor, non-GTR who knows, most likely the seatbelt (I'm fairly sure only the GTRs have cat temp sensors?)

+1, cat temp sensor.

you can see that it has a stainless braid outside which is required for the heat resistance

nothing...unless its plugged in :D

it warns of high temp in the cat - ie cat blocked.

Yeah but where is the wire it plugs into!! Mine is the same as Pic with the tail but No connection to connect it into!!

Oh and what is that vent thing???? Been wondering about that to!

I checked after someone mentioned it was for the seatbelt and sure enough there is the other half of the plug coming from both the GTR seat and the GTS-t seat i pulled out, but I havent plugged it in yet. I might try tomorrow and see what happens.

Well I plugged it in and nothing happened, how anti-climatic. Kinda seems pointless. I also saw the cat sensor wire with the braided line nearby people were talking about.

I have no idea what it is but ill tell ya a funny trick

If ya fit airhorns under your passenger seat and wire it up to your glovebox

Then when casually cruising along with a friend oneday you ask them to get something out of the glovebox...

Absolutely priceless

    • Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.
    • I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.
    • I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?
    • I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
    • Evening all. Got this odd issue with my R34 GTT. If I let the car idle for around 15 seconds or more (even when cold) and I jab the throttle a bit, a decently sized plume of blue/grey smoke comes out the exhaust. Doesn't smoke when idling alone, just when giving it some gas after idling. No smoke on cold start or from what I know, normal driving. Not 100% sure about smoke on decel but I don't think there's any. Any pointers on what I should start doing to troubleshoot it? Or if anyone has experienced the same I'd love to get some insight. Cheers.
