Hello,

Recently bought a r33 gtst s1 knowing it had a fair few issues. I'm trying to fix everything up but I've come across this little black box spliced into the main wiring under the steering wheel / above the pedals. It has no branding on it other than a model number (40ae018294111, which turns up nothing), and a white turn dial. There's also a black box above it which is ziptied, not sure what that is either. The previous owner has no idea what it is as he never got it running correctly either. Checking the history it seems to have boost gauges/controllers added / removed multiple times so its a bit of a spaghetti inside and outside the car. Here's some images of it (they are awful sorry!) - http://imgur.com/a/b8vv9

It's hooked up to a red,black,white cable, obviously power,ground + other. I checked the wiring diagram but couldn't figure it out myself, any help would be appreciated if possible. As well as the main running issue being it won't rev above 2,500rpm without severe misfiring. I assume its the coils, since 4 are OEM and 2 are from an rb20, but if you have any other ideas other than the usual AAC valve, spark plugs etc, that would be sweet as well!

Thanks

Right right, that makes more sense. Cheers guys. Rather than making a new thread, any ideas about a very loud screeching at clockwise full lock. That would be an overly tight power steering pump tensioner right? Since it's stock suspension that should rule out body rubbing, but it definitely sounds more mechanical. Is my assumption correct?

    • Nah it factory manual not sure about ratio but it looks like there’s been some work at the rear 
    • so I need a new speedo cable 
    • Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?
    • Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)
    • +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
