Another reason they can blink fast is iff you replace your blinkers with smaller ones like i did it lowers the resistance and the flasher unit thinks there is a blown globe you either need a different flasher unit or wire in some larger globes like i did

I'm not sure if this is relevant but when I disconnected the front indicator/foggy connector

and turned the indicator on, though there's no light but the interior dash indicator indicator flashes like crazy

i think its the same situation where if a globe is broken you have broken the curcuit so if a globe is removed the curcuit is broken too? not 100% if that correct though..

^ yep, broken curcuit will make it flash faster too. i recently had this happen after putting my front bar back on. i thought it was a blown globe, but actually it was making poor contact in the holder. cleaned it up, problem solved.

If you havent changed anything then its going to be a blown globe.

i know it started with mine because i put smaller indicators into my front bar as i hated the big ugly orange ones.

i dont mind them flashing fast but does anyone know if its illegal?

Could cause people to have seizures(sp?). So would say that it's illegal.

there is a legal rate that all cars in australia must flash between, cant remember what it is off the top of my head, fairly decent size range though, also on my 32 i noticed it doing this, stupid thing has 2 blinker globes in the corner lights, took me a while to relalise

I've got this problem of having them go fast one day and normal the next. I think there's something loose.

I get this on mine from time to time. Turns out there's a water leak letting drops of water into the socket for the rear lights and causing a short. Once it dries out, it all works fine. When the rain stops after a wet period, I usually spray some electronic cleaner in there which evaporates the water real fast...

Might be something else on yours though.

Ok yesterday I took out the Amber lens after heating it in the oven,

put in some orange bulbs and glad wrap over the indicators (just a temporary solution)

connected it back up and today my indicators go like crazy, everything is working

but the indicators are flashing like 3 times a second.

It goes back to normal when I put the emergency lights on.

Any ideas guys?

Hrmm, cheers for that mate. I'm gonna keep an eye out what happens after a down pour.

      I've unfortunately never been as they're on the complete other side of the continent and another country that isn't currently letting us in as easily as they use to. I even heard their stop signs over there actually say "Stop" instead of "Arret". If I decided to trek the 48h drive, I wouldn't know when or where to stop haha. Whenever I order parts from UP Garage, I order from Japan as it's cheaper. Same with GKTech... oddly enough, it's cheaper shipped from Australia then it is the US.  UP Garage Japan operates their US leg though, unlike Tomei. If Tomei JPN had the power to close down Tomei USA, I'm sure it would be done in a day. They're two completely separate entities. Tomei JPN messed up somewhere originally agreeing to its creation and got sacked big time.

      I asked someone about this and he told me about the Audi 1.8T engine. But I think it would be difficult to swap

      I don't know that machine specifically, but I'd personally go for something with a little more kick than 130amp. Around up to 180 would be good. At the 6mm range, you're really pushing the machine hard and don't have a long period you can run for with out needing to give it a rest. Lots of MIG machines come with a regulator and hose. A lot will come with a starter roll of wire too, but it isn't too expensive to buy. I'd recommend NOT buying a massive roll too, as you don't want it sitting around FOREVER in the machine between uses and potentially going to shit. For thin sheet metal, get a roll of 0.6mm if you're doing over 3mm and above, switch over to 0.8mm wire. Even by 2mm you'd probably really want to switch. As for gas battle, it's all swap and go style now. You'll pay a bottle deposit, and then X amount to swap for a full one. I think it's like $200 or $300 for a D Size bottle upfront as "deposit", and like $110 to $150 per swap. My D size CO2/argon bottle lasts a fair bit of welding on the MIG. And I run an E size bottle on the TIG. For DIY MIG, stick with a D size bottle. If you really start to get into a LOT of welding and doing it really regularly, then upgrade. If you're like most DIY car guys, one D bottle will last you 2 or 3 years easily. I think I've been on my current bottle about 5 years. It is starting to get low, but I've been smashing it a lot more the last 6 months.

      SR20s came with cars like the Bluebird and Primera, but the RB20 never came. The ones in Turkey were either brought in specially or from abroad. That's why RBs aren't as common as SRs. And if a part breaks or I need to replace it when doing maintenance, it's harder to find parts for RBs.

      I would suggest equally difficult to find, perhaps edging to the SR. Turkey has almost exclusively Euro market cars, some Korean, few Japanese other than pedestrian shite. I guess they're probably losing the fight against Chinese shit like we are now too. I would vote for a BMW V8, found in a 540i in a wrecking yard somewhere in Deutschland (or possibly Albania).
