Hey all,

I know this is another thread, but still... it can't be too bad for us all for future reference. I'm wanting to know what these connectors are for and also what these little black boxes are.

All of it is from underneath the dash. mostly from centre area and toward passenger side.

I believe that they are for stereo, a/c & heater controls, glovebox light, possibly the sensor for a/c??, cigarette lighter... but there's more than just those - can anyone identify these at all???? They aren't connected an i believe they're not required, but i dont want to cut them out until i get some feedback.

cheers.

1.

Left to right

CD Player - i believe this is for steering wheel controls or something...plugs into factory deck, but aftermarket harness adapters dont utilize it. Does NOT control antenna, lighting, dim lighting, etc....assuming its for controls.

CD player, main harness (yellow = 12v, red = acc, blue = antenna)

Light for cig lighter, or ashtray....or it might be the harness for a lead that connects into that, and lights up the PRND21 for Auto's.

4:

Dash cluster (speedo, tacho, etc)

7:

One of the modules under the steering collumn...that might be time control module (responsible for locking doors when moving), turns light on the roof on when a door is open, emmits door open light on dash, etc.

8: That's the little f**ker that beeps @ 105+ kmp/h. Located same plase as #7

Not to be confused with the reverse beeper/door locked/open + keys in ignition/lights on beeper (which is behind the far right air con vent.

9: Same location...not sure, this would be another time control module, door locks maybe.

I've read that cutting these can cause problems with central locking / alarm arming, and confuse the ECU with HICAS shit somehow.

Best to leave those little ones except the speed warning connected.

10: I beleive is a relay for air con ?

Now then, post pics of drifter or ban :devil:

Thanks Nic (btw thanks again for the dvd i'm just about to start reading the instructions!) - that's definately a start! I forgot to mention that I have re-connected most things that are staying, including: dash, hazards, indicator and wiper controls, wiper control relay...

1 - ok - that's going!

2 - white female connector 2 pin - 1xblue wire with white trace, 1 xblue wire with red trace ????????

3 - big grey square???

white female connector 3 pin flat ??????

white female connector 4 pin square ??????

white female connector 4 pin flat ??????

4 - ???? It's not dash cluster - that's all plugged in. would it be for the aircon/heater controls???

(from left to right)

black female connector ?????

black female connector (wider) ????

white female connector ?????

white female connector (wider) ????

5 - black female connector 2 pin ????? cigarette lighter power ??????

6 - white female connector 5 pins - plugs into another connector a short distance away ???????

7 - white connector plugs into small circuit board????

8 - awesome - that's going! (and i can probably identify that other one on drivers side) :ermm:

9 - black box - other side is just blank ???????????

10 - nice. can this be confirmed???? if so - it's going!

1. -

2 Could possibly be the trigger for brake lights, or goes onto the full throttle sensor behind the pedal.

3 If this is close to the ECU side, might be a relay ?

Looks like relay to me...

4 Must be for air con, now that you mention it.

5 -

6- Possibly for the speaker behind the air con vent, that goes off for lights being left on, door locks, etc.

7, 8 & 9 just leave connected, all those modules under the collumn work together to do alot if different shit. Just disconnect the speaker for speed, but judging by the amount of sound deadening (or lack of) and the cockpit buttons, I'd say you probably won;t be hearing it anyway.

10 TBC

thanks again - definitely looking for more help with these if possible ;)

KRIS your input would be great aswell!

and Nic - pics as requested! :down:

Faaaark you are full on Huddy!

I see you have the same tubs as that S13 on ns.com - Ben I think his name is?

  • 3 weeks later...
** Was this cef factory manual?

1 - stereo

2 - Foot brake plug?**

4 - A/C control unit

5 - Cigarette Lighter

awesome, thanks for that.

and no it wasn't factory manual so it has heaps of auto badness oozing out of it :D (so if you can identify more... sweet :( ! )

... and Nic - it's not my dash... just an example - mines cut to shit :(

Scratch number 2. I just checked it out and its not the same plug as the footbrake plug. although it looks very similar to the plug that is connected to the accelerator.

    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?  
    • Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts
