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

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.

      It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

      Blue slip

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
