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)

    • If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
