Ok well let's take a count: who else has one of these in the boot of their R33?

[PHATR32]

it wouldnt be the amp, cause the amps have a case with cooling fins on them.

Try disconnecting it and see what stops working.

Worth a try! (just make sure you reconnect it before you drive off...)

I have a mystery box in my boot too but this one is in the tail light loom with a switch on it and when i switch it the blinkers transfer to the stop lights!?!? why would anyone want this to happen??

[Silver'sR33]

I wonder if S2s only have this? If so, then what do S2s have that S1s don't...apart from tasteful decor (sorry, just kidding)

It was put in there by the previous Japanese owner to mess with you.

Well, dunno if it was nissan or the previous owner but it sure is messing with me...

You know what would be cool? If before these cars went to auction the sellers had to fill out a (very short) form. Stuff like how many previous owners, what factory options it came with, any modifications etc....and the goddamn service manuals (even in japanese!!)

R33 GTS25 series 1 type S (gawd, what a mouthful....) here (has HICAS), have both those boxes under the parcel shelf. Been meaning to get round to working out what the lower box is, if I remember I'll look it up in FAST, that should tell me what it is.

[Silver'sR33]

Excellent, if you could look it up on FAST that would be awesome.

[Ant]

Ok, finally, a definitive answer.

Top (larger) box has part number 28505-16U15 on it, FAST lists this as 'CONTROL ASSY - HICAS'

Bottom (smaller) box has part number 47850-15U00 on it, FAST lists this as 'MODULE ASSY - ANTI-SKID'

So top one is HICAS controller, lower one is ABS controller. Note that on the boxes in your car the 2nd section of the part number may be different, I think that section of the number is the revision of the part.

Now where's that prize......

[Silver'sR33]

Excellent so it's ABS Thanks heaps for that Ant.

Unfortunately the competition was open to Australian residents only and I see that you are a resident of Kiwiville
