was just seeing all the threads on different gloveboxes - i just assumed they were all the same... and mine seems different again to all the other descriptions - mine opens from BOTH sides and is full depth for CDs etc... most other people whos open both sides seem to have posted that they are very shallow... weird so many different ones!

And yeah - factory Xenons with height adjustment for the high beam, controlled by a thumb-wheel on the dash to raise or lower the pitch down the road.

I would have thought this test (fanging on a dirt road) ineffective because of awd?

hmm, you should still be able to tell - if you can't what is the point of having one! :P I haven't been on a dirt rd in my stagea yet (it does have the lsd as it is a four S), so can't comment from experience..

Wow that is cool!!!

My centre console storage space is NO WHERE NEAR that deep, and mine only opens from the front, it is hinged at the back, so it opens up like my old r33 did.

I never knew you could get it to open up from either side, cool!

I'll take some pics of mine on the weekend :P

Thanks Nick!!

Sorry pics took so long, but as promised here it is :w00t:

As you can see it is only like 2 inches deep, but when you reomve it to see what is underneath, it has this MASSIVE airbag thingy box directly underneath it, dunno wether that is where is is on stock cars though....?

It's a big silver box with cuation airbag stickers all over it and heaps of wires running from it towards the front of the car, looks like it belongs there as all the mounts for it are there and it actually sits raised about 1cm off the floor pan.

I'll take some pics when I can, dont hold your breath though :(

Owned :(

Airbag thingy? Is it an airbag or what? If it is, how the hell did they do that converting to manual

It is the g-force switch(if you call it that?) that sets the air bags off in your dashboard and steering wheel

Basically when you have a accident, the switch makes contact inside from the force of the impact and off go the airbags

It's most likely the computer with the g-sensors, as Darrin has mentioned. Don't forget, also, that GT-Rs (and probably GTS4s) had the g-sensors under the centre glovebox, behind the handbrake, and this was used as part of the triggering functions of the ATESSA computers. Seeing as most of us have RS-Fours, then they should all have them there, whether stock or converted to manual like mine and Ska's. I haven't bothered (or had the need) to take that part of the centre console off, so I can only assume they'd be in the same spot.

Who knows, maybe the same g-sensors were used for the airbags and the ATESSA!?!?

hey, i tried that, and i got pinged with a $99 parking in loading zone fine, they didn't believe i was on business, which i was... lowsy parking guys

A bit OT, but since when in NSW does it matter if your private rego'd or business.

It is my understanding that any wagon, ute, van or larger LR/MR/HR vehicle can legally park in a loading zone.

Alright, ignore what I said inpost #54, the airbag computer and ATTESSA sensor are separate items...

I would like to add a link to this thread in the "Stagea Diy's, How To's, & Fyi's" thread here:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=102808

And then unsticky this thread, any objections?

I think this is one thread we should leave exactly as it is now, we still have a lot of people visiting this part of the forums asking questions, and having it kinda hidden away makes it harder for those who are new to Stageas and are thinking of making a purchase or doing extra research.

I think the DIY section is better for us who already own them, and know to use it as a reference point when looking for instructions, etc. when we're doing repairs and/or upgrades. For any of those types of threads, then they could be put in the one DIY section...

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
