Hi all, I have a series 1.5 r33 gtst and i'm having trouble with the wipers turning on by themselves sometimes only for a couple swipes and sometimes until I turn it off then turn it back on again wait a few seconds then it starts up again??? It done it about a month ago when I was driving and hasn't done it again until recently now its just getting real annoying and embarrassing when people stare at you wondering why you have your wipers screeching away on a perfectly sunny day!!!

Is it an easy diy or better to pay an auto electrician?

Please help!

Hmmm... hear me out.

In my U13 Bluebird, I had a problem with the indicators coming on for no reason and oneday there was a puff of smoke... Made me worried and thought I would need a new indicator stalk. After finding out it was not too expensive to replace, I decided to have a go at fixing it. (If I stuffed it up it wouldn't cost heaps).

I pulled out the stalk and pryed open the little tab dealies to open it and found that in one place a bit of plastic that sat between 2 copper terminals had worn out from all the use and was making the switch terminals touch when they shouldn't. Was also a little melted. Sooooo... I got a cable tie and jammed it in the gap cut it off and super glued it in place. Never had a problem since... I suggest you pull out the wiper stalk, open it up and see what you can see. They seem to be a similar design to the Blubey's. You never know.

Good luck.

      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

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
