Ok, guys from Moscow approached me today. They have a "demo" version ready, now they need a brave person in Perth who's got a car DVD based Xanai unit (M35 Stagea or Skyline up to 2005). This gotta

Generally means one bulb is out, or technically, there is not enough resistance in the system.

Checked all the bulb, and/or installed LED lights anywhere?

Thats about it from my experience.

Ok so the full story is that it was dying a slow death. I'd indicate and three click in I'd get two fast ones, then three good ones again. I figured that was the sign for "replace the globe", since it was on the rear left that wasn't working. So I did, but it didn't change anything, and now a few days later, it just clicks fast all the time and I have no indicators on the left hand side.

Sorry, read this and I didn't post.

Have you got the indicators in your mirrors?

I had similar behaviour from mine when I picked it up from the alarm installer, ended up they'd knocked the wiring for the mirrors, and because they're scotch locked into the main harness the scotch lock had cut through the wiring.

Wiring is down in the drivers footwell, behind the panel forward of the door.

Not sure if that's what it is, but worth checking. It was flashing fast all the time and I had no indicators in the left hand side, but the LEDs in the mirrors did.

I'm not finding much. >_<

Mine doesn't have the mirror indicators so I may be barking up the wrong tree.

Actually, thinking in the same mindset of Ryan's situation (cable slowly being "pulled" or broken, which makes sense in my situation), is there a cable from the ECU that would stop the indicators working for just one side of the car? I did do the wire snip mod on the same day as the indicators started becoming intermittent.

Ah ha!

Found this document (not sure if it's really that relevant), but it at least pointed me in the right direction..

Went searching and found that there's a pink and.. yellow? cable down there that had some electrical tape around it. Seemed a bit suss, so I took the tape off and sure enough the solder had come undone. I suspect that when my alarm was installed the installer cut this wire by accident and soldered it up but while I've been under there it's come loose. Anyway it's all fixed up and working now so I'm stoked! :thumbsup:

Hmmm turns out I didn't fix the problem.

If the BCM was stuffed, would it permanently not work? Or be intermittent? Intermittent seems like a cable contact issue don't you think?

Are the BCM's easy to swap in and out? Is it just a matter of unplugging it, putting the new one in and plugging that in? If I can borrow another one just to test it would certainly make troubleshooting a lot easier.

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
