Hi all,

A few weeks ago my battery died (obviously it was the factory one as there was not even a single word in English; all Japanese). It didnt give me any warning at all. I have already changed the battery, but some strange things happened beforehand; headlights remained on, although I had turned them off and removed the key, then they went off, but right side indicator remained on. After changing the battery, there is still one issue which has remained permanent. When I unlock the doors, side indicators start flassing (as usual), flash three or four times and normally they should go off. However in my case they remain on (both right and left side indicators). When I open the driver or passenger side doors, they go off. If I open the trunk, nothing happens (remain on). When I locked the car, everything is fine (side indicators flash a couple of times and go off.

Now the question is WHY?

Any help or info would be highly appreciated.

Cheers

Hmm, i thought that changing the original battery is a part of compliance? Could be wrong though.

I don't know much about this but if i were you i'd try to reset the ecu ( hopefuly resets the bcm) and see what happens.Then again having the battery flat could have reset it already...:mellow:

Have you got an aftermarket immobiliser/alarm system fitted?

Thanks for your response. Could you please provide a bit more detail in regards to what ecu stands for and how to reset it. I do have an after market immobiliser fitted (it really sucks as I think it is a cheap one). However I had never had such an issue before. I have had this car for over a year, then this happened when the battery died.

Sound like it's your after market immobiliser/alarm Some have a function to turn the indicators on and keep them on untill you open the door or turn the car on.

What brand is your alarm? try different button combos like pressing your unlock button first then your lock button to lock the car or pressing your lock button twice.

To be honest I do not know what brand my immobiliser is. I guess it is a cheap one. The thing is this issue didnt happen for a year after I got this car. Rather it happened after the battery issue.

I would definetely try to press different buttons if I had more than one. this one has only one button which locks and unlocks the car.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
