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.

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.

The guy who i bought the second hand stalk of said the indicators were working prior to him removing it.

blk94r33, i do think i have a dodgy hazard switch,when i push the button the hazrds don't stay on because the button pops straight back out,thanks for the suggestion ill have a look at it today.

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

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
