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)

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
