Hey guys,

Since Ive had my Skyline R33 GTST S2 (few months now),the indicators are just not responding whatsoever when i flick the stalk left or right.

The previous owner of the car did have neons around under the car but then ripped them out and left the loose wires so i have since pulled them out.

The car does have an aftermarket alarm system if it should have anything to do with it....

I have checked the indicator fuse but it is all good,the only thing i can think of is the indicator relay (where ever it is) or a bad earth.Also i have replaced the stalk but still no good..hazards are working tho.

It has been troubling me since i bought it,can anyone please help me?

other than checking the relay it has to be related to the wiring... do you know if they were working prior to neons being removed? if so start from the wiring with that.

an auto elec should be able to sort that out for you fast and cheap, doesn't sound like a huge problem.

good luck.

Yeah the hazards work fine,the indicator lights and that work when theyre on its just when i switch it at the stalk it dosnt work.

I'm pretty sure the indicators didnt work prior to the neons being removed.

What would i be expecting to pay if i took it down to a auto eletrician?

It'll help if we knew where you were.

And even ask in your own state's subforum if someone there can help out as a sparkie.

The problem seems to be at the stalk.

^+1

If the hazards work, you've eliminated alot already. And the second hand stalk could still be the problem. A dodgy hazard switch can cause no indicators as the hazard switch over-rides the indicators. Also, to find your flasher relay, turn the hazards on and follow the noise. I'd be looking for a wiring problem between the stalk and the hazard if everything you've posted is true.

Yup. Hazard switch +11ty. As I said, the hazard switch is designed to over-ride the indicators, is it's faulty it'll still over-ride the indicators, causing them not to work, and yours is faulty if the button won't stay on.

1. Get second hand hazard switch. (Check before purchase it works)

2. Fit second hand hazard switch. Fixed=go to step 3, not fixed go to step 4.

3. Drive car.

4. Check for problem in wiring between stalk, hazard switch, and flasher can. Still not fixed? Step 5.

5. Take car to auto elec or similar industry professional, as you've exhausted my vague-symptom-internet-diagnostics-capabilities, return to step 3.

blk94r33 thank you soo much!! the faulty hazard switch WAS the cause of the problem.

The previous owner of the car removed the dash fascia and then removed the the hazard switch and every thing else to paint it.

When he screwed the switch back into the fascia he did it a little too tight therefore causing the switch to pop back out when you pushed it and that caused the indicators not to work.

Thanks everyone else for your help :D

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
