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?

Is a rwc a Road Worthy Certificate?

If it is,i didnt get actually get a road worthy certificate with the car because it was yellow stickered because it has a huge dent on the rear quarter panel hence me buying it so cheap.

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

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
