My R34 GTR's indicator control stick is quick sensitive to automatically return to neutral position during a right hand turn in a round about. I think is it quite common on older cars. My problem is I don't know what the mechanism in the steering wheel is called that control the automatical return function of the indicator controller stick. :happy:

Can some one help me out, and perhapes let me know how to repair or source the replacment part. cheers.

if you take the steering wheel off you will find there is a plastic "cam" looking piece.. has 2 lumps in it that clicks the indicator off when you turn the wheel back..

getting a replacement part i wouldnt know though..

Hang on...

Are you indicating to the right - in which case, to the turn left onto a roundabout will cancel the right hand indicator?

Some cars return back to neutral quicker than others.

Has this quirk only been happening lately?

It only happens when I turn right, in a roundabout I need to swive the left to enter it then turn right. It clicks out when I do that. I havn't experience the same on the left turn, I'm guessing the situation does not apply as we drive on the left.

yeah its the way the cam thing is designed.. its basically a round plastic ring with 2 bits sticking out to click over the indicator back to neutral.. happens in a few cars i've driven when turning a bit too much..

its a primative design but works in the most part.. so i dont think a new one will help really..

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
