R34 Turn Signal/indicator Problem

Hey guys, i've searched the forums and the net but unfortunately haven't found the answer to my problem.

While driving my indicators sometimes turn themselves off. While at a traffic light for example turning right i would have the indicator on and it would blink on the dash and outside of the car as usual but after a while suddenly turn off and the indicator stalk staying where it is, not returning to the neutral position in between (Left and Right).

And sometimes while driving i would go to indicate and click it to change lane right and i would get nothing (no blink on dash or signal outside of the car) and the same problem with clicking it to turn left(Push stalk up), but wait a few seconds in the neutral indicator stalk position(the middle) and then try it would work?

I have only had the car for a few months and this never used to happen before, i had no clue what it could be and i am hoping one of you would be able to tell me what's going on

Anyone have a clue what's happening here or a solution? thanks.gif

I'll take it apart when I have time but i don't really think the stalk is the problem because like I said this never used to happen and the stalk works perfectly fine, could it be a relay or something?

sounds like it is a dodgy contact in the stalk. you could either try pulling the stalk apart, or just trying to find a new one from someone wrecking a car

Just confirmed it's not the stalk, i was driving the car for about 200km today and when it happened even the Hazard button pressed in did not work on the lights?

Anyone else have an idea of what it could be?? It's pretty annoying when this car is on the road nearly every day and driven long distances :(

check the plug on the back of the hazard switch is plugged in correctly. if the dash surround has been out in the past it might not have been plugged back in properly and i know that in some cars if that plug is undone the indicators won't work at all.

Hey thanks for the help mad082, ended up taking it to my mechanic in the city. Turns out to be the flasher unit, went and picked up a new one from Main North Nissan for $52.30 and replaced it, works fine now :)

Problem solved for any of those who are having a similar problem :)

      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.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      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.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      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.
