hey people

i have recently put a new front bar on my car, and that required me to put aftermarket indicators

i have a series 2 r33

i matched the wires up properly, and they work fine, when hazards r on they go at normal speed, but left or right they go really fast

is anyone able to diagnose the prob

thanksss

cro boy could you share what was the fix for this problem? I am experiencing the exact same problem after going from the teardrop style front indicators to the type-x style on my 180sx.

The bulbs i have in there are the flat style connection bulb 10mm wide. the narva site lists a 21/5 (dual element) bulb (as required in the 180sx manual) but narva only make it in a clear globe (I need amber). Does anyone know of a 21/5 amber 10mm style bulb and what company makes it?

isn't it a resistance problem?

as in with the wrong watt globes or bad earth or poor wiring, the resistnace in the whole circut is changed, thus the blinking speed changes? or so i have always been told...

thus the same reason your blinking speed increases when a light is blown, because that globe that was providing x resistnace is now providing no resistnace and the whole circut is now seeign less resistnace, thus blinking speed increses

exactly right.

People put aftermarket front bars on and most of the time they have to change the indictors, which means different globes. The different watts in globes give different resistances and the resistances is the thing that helps determine how quickly the bulb flashes. Check what watt globe the car had in it before and go get a globe that will fit you new indicators that has the exact same wattage, problem solved.

    • Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...
    • Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.
    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
