I think maybe I need some proper extra fuse box or something for my GTST now, as a I have a few aftermarket things all wanting power sources, and I found out the shop which put my boost controller in just got a live by wedging the wire in one side of a blade fuse which vexed me greatly. :/

So I need something a bit more 'professional'?

Any ideas? Sorry but my auto-electrical knowledge is shit.

Also anyone know why my indicators flash faster now I went to LED's and what can I do?

my personal favorite: routing wires straight from the battery and a switch on the dash :) but you want something that looks semi professional. in which case relays are your friend! you probably already know what they are but ill say it anyways. a relay is basically an electronically triggered switch; it uses a little power to activate a switch that lets a lot of power through

i think your super fast indicators need resistors put in the works. LEDs have far less resistance than normal bulbs. so in theory, the ECU has noticed this and assumes a bulb is out, hence the fast flash. however i dont know what kind of resistor you will need. that will take some multimeter work and ohms law equations on your behalf

:google: "electronic flasher unit"

these bad boys make the indicators flash at the same speed regardless of load. but you need to find yours and see how many terminals it has first so you get the right one

you can buy led load resisters. you just join one end into the indicator wire and the other end to earth. you will need one for each indicator with an led. you should.be able to get them from super cheap or just about any automotive store

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
