cool? it's a pain in the a$$. My GTR has this chime, but thank f**k the previous owner 'tried' to disable it so it only works intermitently and when it does work it's muffled. the strange thing is it never used to activate when I was using my kakimoto ecu, when I put the power FC in I noticed it straight away, possibly just a coincidence though. I say get rid of it as soon as is possible.

Its up under the kick where your left knee is. Smallish black box say 2-3inchs by 3-4 inches. Just unplug it, go for a drive. If its the door one, PUT IT BACK, it can play up with your central locking etc if its the door/left the lights on beep one.

Holy crap I didnt know that Cefiros had this and lately I could have sworn that I could hear the faintest chiming noise in the car. I have no stereo yet so I wont be able to here mine once thats in :D

Thanks for pointing out that they have these.

yer that thing drives me insane.. i also changed ecu's and it went away but guess what... its back! smallish black box you say?... that little f%#k is dead tomorrow!

There is about 3 of them tho. So just unplug them one by one first. From memory it was the far left one. But I took mine out well over a year ago, so I really cant remember.

My gawd I thought it was something wrong with my speedo or something. I had a suspicion that it was a speed warning as it always comes on at the same speed - a ticking sound - but it seems inconsistent - seems to have stopped now.

Kills you when driving long distance in 110k zones - just have to turn up the stereo.

Yeah its the furthest to the left. Just stick your head under there and you can see it. Really simple to remove. Removed mine 2 weeks ago.

You guys are lucky. On the 32's its located directly behind the instrument cluster. You have to dismantle the dash to get to it so you can snip the wire.

When your looking for the cef one, if you remove the door/light chime you will this will affect your alarm/central locking (if you got it) the only way to over come this is to wire them into each other so you still have a closed circuit. But this will eliminate your warnings by doing this.

:P

LoL. Dude TRUST me it is still there. Easy way to tell, when you go to sleep, do you hear this DING, DING, DING and see 110kmh on a circle when your dreaming?

Yes I do hear the DING, DING, DING, but the circle indicates 180kmh...

      PRP RB26 cast block + head prototype running

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, yeah, the RB26 is definitely that far off the mark. From a pure technology point of view it is closer to the engines of the 60s than it is to the engines of the last 10 years. There is absolutely nothing special about an RB26 that wasn't present in engines going all the way back to the 60s, except probably the four valve head. The bottom end is just bog standard Japanese stuff. The head is nothing special. Celicas in the 70s were the same thing, in 4cyl 2 valve form. The ITBs are nothing special when you consider that the same Celicas had twin Solexes on them, and so had throttle plates in the exact same place. There's no variable valve timing, no variable inlet manifold, which even other RBs had either before the 26 came out or shortly afterward. The ECU is pretty rude and crude. The only things it has going for it are that the physical structure was pretty bloody tough for a mass produced engine, the twin-turbos and ITBs made for a bit of uniqueness against the competition (and even Toyota were ahead on the twin turbs thing, weren't they?) and the electronic controls and measuring devices (ie, AFMs, CAS, etc) were good enough to make it run well. Oh, and it sounds better than almost anything else, ever. The VR38 is absolutely halfway between the RB generation and the current generation, so it definitely has a massive increase in the sophistication of the electronics, allowing for a lot more dynamic optimisation of mapping. Then there's things like metal treatments and other coatings on things, adoption of variable cam stuff, and a bunch of other little improvements that mean it has to be a better thing than the RB26. But I otherwise agree with you that it is approximately the same thing as a 26. But, skip forward another 10 years from that engine and then the things that I mentioned in previous post come out to play. High compression, massively sophisticated computers, direct injection, clever measuring sensors, etc etc. They are the real difference between trying to make big power with a 26 and trying to make big power with a S/B50/54 (or whatever the preferred BMW engine of the week is).

      Is the RB26 actually that far off the mark? Honestly from where I'm sitting a VR38DETT is not actually that much more advanced than the RB26. Yes, there is a scavenge pump on the VR38, it's smarter in a number of ways but it's not actually jumping out to me as alien technology. Something like a B58 or V35A-FTS on the other hand has so many surprising little design features that add up to be something that just isn't comparable.
