at least once a drive, to work for example, the hazards flicker on and off for 2 seconds then stop, randomly as hell, i would just be cruising and they go off, i think it may have something to do with my alarm, as when i open the door the hazards seem to flicker to indicate the door is still open or its tripping the alarm i have no idea which.

i know its hard to say whats causing this issue but anyone have any ideas at all? or should i just take it straight to an auto electrician?

cheers

The easiest and least expensive way to find out is to unplug the alarm system and bypass the immobiliser/s, drive the car for a week and see if the problem has gone away. An auto electrician will charge by the hour to find an intermittant problem, besides, if it is the alarm system then it may cause your car to stall as well, while driving, so better to be safe then sorry. Another option would be to just disconnect the indicator's wires from the alarm, there should be 2 inline fuses which can be removed (for most alarms) temporarily, to see if the problem goes away.

ok, so im gonna take the fuses out, because i dont need flashy lights on my car when the alarm is engaged etc, will this affect normal indication and hazard operation?

where can i find these fuses? you said inline but i dont know what that means haha

cheers for the help!

      New to R32 ownership

      By luke gtr · Posted

      Unfortunately,  it feels like it's been on the decline for nearly a decade. Especially as wallet racing became popular with them(biggest wallet can pay off a car that wins). It seems like a different mindset kf ownership these days. But, hopefully people like yourself keep some of the skyline scene alive.

      Realistic Injector/kW Limits on E50 & E85

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      A bit of data is always good, beats the Facebook experts with their opinions Although the kWs aren't anywhere near what you are after, it should give you a good indication. I have Bosch 1480cc injectors, often called 1650cc (only when run at 4bar). I run mine at 3bar base so I don't thrash the fuel system. Up top, making 437kW with boost dropping, injector duty is at 69% on E80 (might have had some residual 98RON in there)

      Realistic Injector/kW Limits on E50 & E85

      I have some downtime due to winter, and just wrapped up converting the car over to flex fuel. We don't get E85 at the pump over here in Canada, but I will be running Ignite E90 Race gas. I'll be mixing it with 99-100 RON pump gas and shoot for 50% ethanol content, up to possibly 85% content if there's any noticeable gains. Here's the question. Most I'll ever want to hit is ~600rwkW. I've currently running 1200cc injectors and want to keep them under 90% duty cycle. As per some online injector calculators, I should be good with 1200's well past 600rwkw on E85. As per other calculators, I'll need 1600-2000cc's. The variety is rather amusing.  With you Australians having E85 at the pump, what realistic duty cycles are you seeing in those kW ranges on E50 & E85 on your injectors? Thanks,

      No issues here with my PRP gears in an OEM pump housing. I did confirm all housing clearances were to spec prior though. Cheers.

      Water leaking into the rear trunk

      By 32.det · Posted

      Thread is a bit old but figured id give my input anyway just incase. Have had lots of water problems in my R32 and was getting sick of wet tools in the boot and water filling up half my taillights. I ended up finding that whenever my car had been repainted they didn't reseal the taillights to the body of the car so water was just flowing straight into the boot, this is amplified by all the water around the bootlid being directed down to the taillights so would get pretty wet whenever I washed the car or it rained. You could probably use silicone to seal them to the body but I think from factory they use a roll of automotive grade butyl rubber. Hopefully this helps you if that ends up being how the water is getting in on your car!
