I have been converting my 32 to as many LED globes as will fit. I purchased some amber LEDs for the rear indicators (BA15S, 1156), but they caused to indicators to rapid flash (like when a globe somewhere is blown). I then purchased some advertised as CANBUS-compatible, but they also rapid flash.

Is there a way to confirm if the LED is in fact CANBUS-compatible (construction, watts, multimeter, etc)?

You can try to find a flasher relay that's "LED compatible", or run load resistors (half defeats the purpose IMO).

I got some Philips resistors if you're interested (I bought TapTurn relay).

CANbus is for newer cars that would throw an error light if a bulb was out.

Further to my problem, I have done the same to my N16Pulsar. I got some "canbus" LEDs, fitted one to the front left, and everything works fine. So then replaced the right side, and it hyper flashes! WTF!

Anyone got an explanation?

Yes, finally resolved myself to the need to modify the system. Only ever purchased units "guaranteed" not to hyperflash. Jaycar have flasher units, FYI.

So, where is the flasher can in aR32? Anyone know where the can is in a N16 Pulsar (1.8DE)?

I am sooooo glad Nissan make these cars so easy to work on and replace parts that break down.

Pretty much pulled the entire instrument panel apart, cannot for the life of me locate the relay (can hear it, just can't find it!).

Well, I've solved one problem - when I arm / disarm the alarm, only the LH indicators flash. Found the (smashed) fuse, and replaced it.

But now I have a bigger problem - NO indicators OR hazards! So I know the return circuits are ok, because the lights come on with the alarm arm /disarm. But because I have no hazards  /indicators, I can't trace the relay sound.

All solved.

Reason everything suddenly stopped - I somehow unplugged the connector to the back of the hazard switch!

Indicators work fine with a replacement flasher designed for LEDs - SY4018, $14.95 from Jaycar Electronics. (in the "auto" section, not the electronic parts section)

    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.
