So I found a blown tube fuse under the dash , hooked the wires together and heard sizzling so I disconnected it before finding out what it does, do I just pull the wiring and leave this box out or what ? I don't know what it does and these wires lead to under the centre console and behind the fuse box which mean hell of a mission to pull out all the wiring , I pulled back blue tape in first photo and found these switches, any ideas??

Is it clipped onto the under dash trim?  If it were an R32, I would say it was the beeper.
hey mate , nah she was screwed in , checked my black one and it didn't have it so I've pulled it out, was hooked up to horn, and aerial control switch , and also tapped into a couple of fuses behind the fuse box, have removed it and seem to not have any issues so far

Those switches are usually linked to some sort of transponder, the switch arrangement being the code set on both the receiver and sender, could it be part of an immobilizer system? which admittedly it doesn't seem secure enough for... my reference is seeing these on RC toys and their remotes.

      R32 GTR clutch master cylinder adapters

      We just disconnected the vacuum line if I remember correctly, booster is still there. Is there a rebuild solution for the booster or a different adapter that will work for GTR chassis?

      Yeah 4wd (boosted) has a recess in the firewall for the booster, and 2wd is flat - the example in the link shows the flat surface. When you deleted the booster, did you just attach the factory slave cylinder directly to the recess in the firewall with no adaption?

      Yes, but no. You need to keep the mating surfaces bare (ie the flat faces where the caliper and upright pads touch the dogbone) and also the internal threads will remain bare (unless there are no internal threads - do they use nuts on all the bolts?). So you can slow down obvious external corrosion, but not all of it. Anodising would be required to provide decent protection to the alloy, but I'm not actually sure if you should anodise something that is all about the strength. Anodising does reduce strength significantly. Like, up to 50% on some alloys for high thickness coating.

      'Sgot nothing to do with them being Japanese. The climate in the north of Japan has similarities to the UK - the cars are made in the knowledge that they have snow and salt, and they rot there. Cars made in the US rot like buggery in the US. British cars have always rotted regardless of the weather. They will rot indoors in a climate controlled bubble! The brackets are not unsafe yet, but they will get that way. They may well corrode where the bolt threads are in contact and the bolts could just jump out without warning.
