Mine used to do this too. It would just randomly blink quicker than normal, as if a globe has blown, but once you take a turn, it would return to normal. I too have a 32 sedan.

I think it's been a loose connection or a faulty globe though.

I normally get this issue after blowing an indicator globe. However (once) I needed a new universal timer thing that controls the indicator timing, I can't remember the real part name....except that it was about $15 and bought from Bursons or Autobarn.

Hi, hope I don't cause bad bumpage of this thread, though I felt it was better to have it in the same spot than start a new one.

This morning my indicators started doing the same thing, just on the left side.

I haven't had the chance to check it out thoroughly yet as I just got to work, but it's only the front left on the front bar that isn't working.

If I put hazard lights on, they all blink at the usual rate, but still not the front bar left indicator.

Is this a normal thing to happen when an indicator globe goes? Or could I expect it to be something else? It's only happened this morning..was kinda scary in traffic when you can only see the reflection of one indicator and not knowing if people know your intentions with turning =S

Also for the OP. Your car being a sedan doesn't mean your car shouldnt have side indicators. As far as I know its actually something that is meant to be done at compliance to comply with Australian standards.

I gather this isnt harshly controlled as their is a lot of imports missing them. But saying that, I have seen plenty of sedans with them.

Have you checked you have side intrusion bars lol?

    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
