G'day fellow Skyliners,

I just have a quick one which Im sure some one will know how to help.

I have been walking to work for the last 9 months and havent been driving and during that time my car battery has died (obviously). I have jumped it and all is fine car starts no problem however when im driving and I put the indicators on at the lights my door locks start moving open and closing and the alarm chirps in time with the indicators lol its hilarious . Car runs fine just a strange electrical problem. I'm guessing it has to do with my car alarm which is connected to my central locking or the alarm battery may be dead.

Any ideas??

A friend of mine who does auto electrical work (GTRs especially), I was speaking to about an issue like this, and said to me: 1/2 flat bat can do wierd things like computer on 1/2 power

that is odd...

funny u mention weird shit happening when ur battery dies... 2 weeks ago i went to install a fuel pump into my car and do the 12v rewire while i was in there. disconnected the battery for obvious safety reasons and i got to work. got the pump out and forgot i had no hose clamps. FU(K!! put the mofo back in, reconnected my battery n now my stereo doesnt work? couldnt work out wtf was going on. anways the next weekend (1 just gone) i had my clamps, put my pump in, did the rewire n reconnected the battery again and hazaah! my stereo works rite again? WTF! how's that shit work? lol

electricity can be very unpredictable...

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
