Ok you guys are going to laugh so ahrd when i say this but its really irratating me!

My right hand indicator flashes at a normal rate

My left hand flicker flashes like its on some kinda party drugs and almost is enough to trigger an epiletic fit. Its really annoying me.

Ok i know your probably rolling around the floor in hysterics now muttering something about female drivers .... but is there any way to sloooow this down .... does it mean the fuse is on its way out?

The squeeky rotors dont annoy me .... the really bad suspension doesnt annoy me .....the fact that it has 3 months worth of dust on it doesnt annoy me ...... but for some reason this does!

ah kay i will check globes - that did cross my mind but i forget about it when im out of the car and when im in it i get reminded.

Thanks for your help - knew it would be something simple ..... guess they are a barsted to get to ..to replace too when you dont know what the hell your doing.

omg i hate squeaky rotors... mine are a BITCH... (plus theyre grinding aswell.... big lose... steve at sst can fix em up or quote me new gtst calipers and rotors or something when i get my service done... but till then i must live with it! ;) )

anyone good at aligning headlights (ive tried... i suck)?

i bought some supposedly wicked globes but they dont seem to light up the road as much as my last set :S im thinkin the alignment on them is out..

My right hand side indicators do this sometimes aswell. Not all the time, just sometimes.

Last time it did it i got out the car to check the bulbs and they are all fine so the wiring in the car is munted somewhere.

yeah the wiring in my car is pretty munted ...... but its only started in the last week - and it seems to have gotten faster since i first noticed it.

Quite a quirky little thing cos the right is fine ..... the left is off its tits hahaha

When i was driving around without my front bar for a while, both indicators were going skitz working double-time. But when i put a new front bar on and hooked up the attached front indicators, the blinkers returned to normal.

When a bulb went out on my right front, the right indicator went nuts again too. But when i changed the bulb it was fine again...

I think its a bulb. :P

its easy to check...turn on your left hand indicator and walk around the car to see which globe isn't working.

i had the same problem. indicator flashes like mad. For mine it was the front left indicator in my old GTR front bumber. Turned out to be a loose connection on the bulb holder. Re-connected and worked fine. Same thing happens with a blown bulb like Fane said.

yeah one of my indicators isnt working ..... found that out when i went to disarm my car and only one indicator flashed :)

Now i gotta change the globe - get it from repco? or something? ..... cos my boyfriend is being soooooo much help on this one :(

Maybe Repco are having a Xmas special on reco'd boyfriends so check it out :(

I had a problem with the indicator and noticed a puff of smoke one day from the steering column. It was the lubricant in the control box on the indicator stalk and was giving a funny contact that caused some fusing of the contact. It would flash real fast sometimes as well. I pulled the box (on the right side of the column) apart and cleaned up the grease and soldered the hole in the contact and good as new.

hahaha maybe geoff but i kinda like the one ive got (bf) - maybe if they could just reprogramme the ECU i would be happy :bahaha:

It cant be that hard can it? Oh well i'll get under the car and have a look (being front indicator .... and front bar not allowing access)

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
