IDO Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Hi all, Feel a bit ashamed asking these kinda questions after nearly having my car for a year, but.. there is always a but.. a couple of quick questions.. If anyone could help that would be great.. Ps My car is a 93 NA Jspec 1) what is the metal box under my pasenger seat.. 2) what is the red button on the gear change? Have tried to look these up but my hand book is all in japanese so i bought a english translated one and it doesn't mention either! Feel a fool asking but any help would be great! thanks!!

SupraStar 3000 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 1 - if its the same box I have, its a mystery. most here think its a GPS toll system for the Japanese road (road tax) - a few people have them. 2 - lets you take the car out of gear when the engine is off - for working on wheels etc.. (handy for removing the centre console/trim) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Ooo Ooo Ooo me, me.... ejector switch - LOL!!! Woot I'm so funny!! Look at the man asking about buttons and see how funny I am!! *sigh* Anyway the metal box is probably an amp or japanese spec gadget that had other parts removed and the red button is to take the car out of park without the engine running - handy for taking dash panels off or cleaning all the crud out from the gaps....

IDO Posted January 9, 2006 Author Share Posted January 9, 2006 Cheers for that.. i had seen a thread about the box thing a wile back, and did try and look for it to see if anyone found out what it was.. couldn't find it.. Do you know if anyone has removed it? the red button this was driving me mad.. yep the ejector seat, machine gun, Oil slick options all crossed my mind and was the jokes from my mates.. so wanted to press it but with it being red it kinda scared me in to thinking it may be something to double check be for i pushed it (incase it was one of those emergency limp to the garage @ 10mph safety gears!)... thanks for the info!

suprasport Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 as for the metal box my jap na hasn't got one but a uk spec in scrapyard did, so that ads a bit more mystery for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
