R32 Gtr Indicators Flashing Fast

Hi guys,

I changed all my globes (brakes, reverse, indicator) to Cree led last night. Everything was working like normal till I changed the front 2 indicator and it started blinking really fast.

I understand that it is due to the lower wattage of the LED that causes the car to think a globe is blown or wrong wattage. Hence the rapid blinking.

Anybody has a fix for this? Everything works fine. Just blinks fast.

Please do share.

Got them off eBay. Came from Hong Kong in 5 days. They work great only problem is the blinking.

It's the resistance change that throws regular flashers off. Some orange LEDs comes with resistors that you put in line (or can either add your own or change the relay) to add the 'load' to stop hyperflashing.

So I can purchase the relay that is shared above and replace the stock relay.

Ok I'm going to go with that. Cross fingers. All ok.

Thanks for the help!

Cheers!

Yeah. But they work pretty ok. Lol is so bright. It doesn't make a difference.

Also doesn't have heat. So can point anyway not worried of heat melting plastic. And it is bright enough. Much brighter than normal globes.

Yeah I know. I was kind of disappointed when I opened the reverse lights. But when I put it on and engaged the reverse. It was definitely much brighter than the originals. So I was happy again. Haha

Yep that relay should be fine.

Those projector style LEDs would be good for reverse, as you want the light projected outwards (to see). For the turn and brakes, I'd rather have something that fires sidewards/backwards so light is reflected off the housing rather than projected outwards (to be seen).

Something like this. Will have to figure out which ones will work best in the housings (Philips make a few different styles now).

But hey, that's just me.

Des, got some more shots of your light output? Looks pretty great.

Let me know what other angles you want me to take. I'll get them.

Currently with these reverse lights. It lights up the whole garage. Lol

FYI: You can get a flasher relay from super cheap or autobarn that is non load dependant and will work with any lights. I have all LED and one of these flashers. Just needed to make an adapter harness from the original plug as the flasher relay base isnt the same

Hi guys,

I am hoping someone can help me. 1993 Nissan r32 GTR both front indicators on with headlights. Indicators work as normal but as soon as the indicator self cancels both indicators come back on. Any ideas? Indicator stalk or headlight switch?

Cheers

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
