why would you have a flare in your car :S

but since everyone else likes them ill buy some!

they're required in japan....im assuming you have an R33...look in the passenger footwell and you'll see the flare holder clips ;)

Most of them are gone when they get imported, or taken by guys at the docks/compliance etc....some are still there...Mine was there when i checked out my car at the compliance workshop, so I took it home before they got their sticky fingers on it hehe

yes it's for if your car brakes down on train tracks at night, or on a dangerous piece of road at night. when you light them they just burn bright red and smoke a little. no shooting or anything special.

They are removed at compliance.

I've got one in the GTR and GTST but I've lost the one from the soarer.

Anjo0, if you want to flog some i'll take 3. i want a spare for each car :O

Well there ya go, i only saw the holders yesterday, had the car for just over a month and thought the place where i bought it from had taken something out that should be there. I wish i had looked to see if it were there when i took the car for the first test drive!!!

my 33 has the holder but no flare when i first got my car i thought it was for a japanese fire extinguisher (smaller and more efficient then ours/us) :P

      r34's love to squeal

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
