who knows about electronics???

i have a soarer - the owner in japan has done this to the side repeators.. i don't know how to explain it.. but the side repeator stays "on" when park lights are on...

soooooooo park lights go on.... and side repeators turn on... but still indicate...

i want to do that same treatment to my side indicator.. as can be seen here

and here..

600x450-2011011900018.jpg

anyone know how to do it?

...or even what this process is called so that i can google it?

and yes i know this is a skylines forum but A) the process should be the same and B) soarer forums are chock full of retarded folk.

Sounds easy if I think I know what you're talking about. Solder another set of positive and ground wires from the parker wires to the side repeaters for both sides. Cover with electric tape. Done. Or try bypass the blinker relay.

that doesn't sound easy at all...

it sounds quite the contrary!!!

reason being... if i solder a wire from the park light wiring... into the indicator wiring...

...then how would the indicator wiring cancel??? wouldn't it just stay on and not blink??

EDIT:

how would one bypass the blinker relay???

maybe a relay before the indicator relay signal so if parkers = on then power to indicators.. if indicators = on relay switches over and indicators work but parkers have cut off..

okay i either dont get what you said there or you are speaking in pigeon english, craig..

are you saying i should INSTALL a NEW relay before the standard indicator relay?

i think that you accidentally a coke bottle..

i think i get what he is saying. now i'm not entirely up on relays, but can you have a relay where it has 2 power sources, and if only 1 has power it will be switched on, but if both has power it turns off? if you can then that would be the way to do it. the signal from the indicators would then come as a pulse making the light turn on and off as it pulses.

ok after thinking about that some more, having a second relay may be the easier option. have the first relay setup as normal (using the parkers as the signal). the second relay could be used between the first relay and the lights. this one would get it's signal from the indicators, however the 12v in wouldn't actually be 12v in, it would be the wire coming from the first relay and the ground signal out would be going to the light. this would require a relay that is closed in the normal position though, which may be hard to find as they are normally open.

XOR gate, except then it would flash out of sync with your side repeater.

If they've set up your side repeaters to do this, then you can disconnect the normal feed to your main indicator, and take the feed for the indicator from the side repeater. Whatever they've done to the side repeater to make it work like this will also make your main indicator do the same (assuming the circuit can handle the load of the extra bulb, which shouldn't be a problem as the wattage is pretty low anyway)

^^^^^^^i think what warps said would be easiest... but at the same time like he said...

it's dependent if the circuit can handle the load...

only bad thing about jumping the main indicators off the side indicators is (in my opinion) that it's REALLY dodgy wiring...

Hey, I'm a mech engineer, not elec. Dodgy auto electrics is my game

The less dodgy way is to find the source for the side repeaters (normally this is piggy backed from the main indicator, but I imagine this is not the case here) and take the feed from there. Rewire both sets of lights if need be, to keep the wiring tidy.

That's what I mean. find where they're getting their feed (obviously not from the normal spot, which is usually piggy backed off the main indicator) and use the same source to feed the main indicators. If you wire the main indicators straight to the source for the repeaters (which already do what you want them to) then this achieves the same result as piggy backing the main indicators off the side repeaters (which as you correctly pointed out could end up dodgy)

here is a very basic way to do it with just 2 relays. it will light up your blinker / repeaters with the parkers or headlights (whichever you choose) and make sure that when you indicate left of right the blinker flashes in sync with the side and rear one.

the only thing that wont work is the two fronts as hazard lights. it is doable but would require 2 diodes or another 2 relays. i can add to the drawing to show you if your keen.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By steven7270 · Posted

      So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?

      Rusty roof repair

      Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!

      That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
