Mate mine does that to. Flashes for a few seconds then turns off. I think it has something to do with the fact that it's no longer auto (assuming u had the auto-manual converstion). You should have a button on the center console, behind the handbrake, that has the different 'power' options. If you flick it to 'power' option it will light up the power option on ur dash. Pretty much, when it was an auto this option would hold the gear longer before the auto transmission would select the next gear, giving u more power. Since it is no longer auto, this feature is no longer valid, thus I THINK why it flashes, stating it isn't working.

Once again don't quote me on this, i am a newbie when it comes to these thing, only had the cefiro since Friday. Also i think it is the same deal with the HICAS light which is below the dash to left of steering wheel. Mine is constantly ON, due to the fact that the HICAS has been disabled.......

My 2 cents

cheers, yeah i was also thinking along the same lines as mine was also previously auto. although no power button on centre console :confused: , guessing that the centre console has been replaced with a proper manual one in my case. but in the middle of the dash where the old auto selector lights are it says O/D (overdrive), so basically they had an overdrive, hold and power function i'm guessing.

and up also got that HICAS light coming on due to my lock bar. (although i've since put a piece of black electrical tape over it)

Its definately to do with the auto transmission....as mentioned, i for some reason still have the switch that would of been used to activate/deactivate this power option. It has 3 setting...snow/normal/power....obviously snow would retard the revs, normal well yeah normal, and power makin the gears rev longer. When i flick this switch to power, it lights up on the dash, flick it back to normal and it goes.......

When i catch up with you sometime CC i'll show you.

I really think it is just a feature thats is useless once the manual conversion is done....

yep the feature does nothing once the manual conversion is done, all it means is the auto trans revs higher before it changes gear, A lot of cars have that including commodores,

basically it switches on when you first start the car because it's the engine / gearbox / ecu getting ready and programmed itself etc,

same as to why on cars your oil light will come on for the first few secs of starting,

it's the dash's way of saying "hey i have no oil!... oh wait, my mistake, there IS oil just not warmed up, i get it now, i'll take the light away"

or in this case...

"hey you just started the car let me get my gearbox groove on, ok it's fine now i see you started the car i take the light away"

nothing to be afraid of. i hope

Actually its the dash saying "Konichiwa! this oil light is indicating that the shitty factory pressure sensor hasnt actually registered that theres pressure yet... I recommend getting an aftermarket oil pressure guage. Oh wait heres the signal now... Good bye".

(although i've since put a piece of black electrical tape over it)

that shit's funny...electrical tape fixes all your troubles...a mate's r33 was pretty much held together by that shit...oh and cable ties too...

take out the dash surround (3screws) then remove the dash (4screws) take off the light bulb that's in the slot for power/hicas or what ever other thing you dont wanna see...while you're at it, put elec tape over the auto gear position thingy your know the (P R N D 2 1) :thumbsup: easy fix :cheers:

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
