Being stock as they come, my R32 appears to have a speed warning, which seems to chime on dead past 110km/hr. It's half broken I think so it sounds like a little bird is dying in there.

Basically how can I remove it? Where can I find it? It appears to be coming from under the dash, but bit hard to check under there whilst trying to successfully travel 110km/hr..

thanks.

I have this too! Go the stock cars. Mine was so soft that (since my aircon wasn't working) when I had the windows down I didn't hear it. I only noticed the door bell sound a few days ago: seems to kick in at almost exactly 108KM/H.

I'm leaving mine in for now as, since I am on Green Ps (stupid NSW) with a 100KM/H limit, its quite handy :P

There is a description of how to kill it in "The Sky is the Limit" book.

Remove the 100 km/hr overspeed warning - R32

Sounds horrible doesn't it?

  • Remove the plastic panels under the driver's side dashboard.
  • Drop the steering column (using the height / reach adjustment)
  • Remove the instrument cluster. The small aluminium box on a bracket behind the cluster is the noisemaker. Be very careful with the speedo cable – there is a plastic sleeve than is prone to splitting where the cable enters the back of the speedometer. It can be fixed with some heat shrink tubing or at a pinch some PVC tape.
  • Disconnect the spade terminal, and remove the dingdong box. Peace at last.

Weird, mine has the reverse beeper, but no speed warning, reverse is clearly audible. Is this the same beeper that alets you your headlights are on and keys are in the ignition? How do you stop the keys one, most annoying thing ever. I have NEVER forgoton my keys!!!

i think that the speed warning is suposed to come on at 105km/h (as mine and a mates does (imported R32 four doors)) mine is more dead than his so i havnt been botherd to get rid of it yet. i took my mates off it was simple and took less than 20min. im still yet to pull mine off and find out how they work, (mine quite often makes a 3 in one noise and when going downhill it doesnt make any noise).

when you take off the ding-dong box, smash it with a hammer, and post pics... (check first to make sure you pulled out the right box)

drives you insane on western/hume hwy where limit is 110km/hr. I can never be bothered taking it out, might be something to do this afternoon...

Reviving an old thread I know. I didn't smash mine with a hammer. I connected it up with the wrong polarity to the battery to see if would make a sound and it blew up. Lot's of smoke and heat haha.

So I finally got feed up with that dam ding dong noise, removed the under dash shroud and the cluster shroud, and the cluster came right out quite easily.

The overspeed warning box is attached to the back cluster so the cluster does indeed need to be removed, you can't reach it from underneath the dash.

The noise when reversing comes from a different box altogether, witch is able to be reached from underneath. However this box also controls the automatic transmission lock, so I didn't bother with it.

Have uploaded some photos for clarity...

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
