Another reason they can blink fast is iff you replace your blinkers with smaller ones like i did it lowers the resistance and the flasher unit thinks there is a blown globe you either need a different flasher unit or wire in some larger globes like i did

I'm not sure if this is relevant but when I disconnected the front indicator/foggy connector

and turned the indicator on, though there's no light but the interior dash indicator indicator flashes like crazy

i think its the same situation where if a globe is broken you have broken the curcuit so if a globe is removed the curcuit is broken too? not 100% if that correct though..

^ yep, broken curcuit will make it flash faster too. i recently had this happen after putting my front bar back on. i thought it was a blown globe, but actually it was making poor contact in the holder. cleaned it up, problem solved.

If you havent changed anything then its going to be a blown globe.

i know it started with mine because i put smaller indicators into my front bar as i hated the big ugly orange ones.

i dont mind them flashing fast but does anyone know if its illegal?

Could cause people to have seizures(sp?). So would say that it's illegal.

there is a legal rate that all cars in australia must flash between, cant remember what it is off the top of my head, fairly decent size range though, also on my 32 i noticed it doing this, stupid thing has 2 blinker globes in the corner lights, took me a while to relalise

I've got this problem of having them go fast one day and normal the next. I think there's something loose.

I get this on mine from time to time. Turns out there's a water leak letting drops of water into the socket for the rear lights and causing a short. Once it dries out, it all works fine. When the rain stops after a wet period, I usually spray some electronic cleaner in there which evaporates the water real fast...

Might be something else on yours though.

Ok yesterday I took out the Amber lens after heating it in the oven,

put in some orange bulbs and glad wrap over the indicators (just a temporary solution)

connected it back up and today my indicators go like crazy, everything is working

but the indicators are flashing like 3 times a second.

It goes back to normal when I put the emergency lights on.

Any ideas guys?

Hrmm, cheers for that mate. I'm gonna keep an eye out what happens after a down pour.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
