hi guys,

im personally not into fog lights being used as indicators , seems abit early 90s to me that is....

so ive re-wired my front side lights (first stage low beam i think their refered to as)

now i just need to figure out what the wattage difference is as they seem to blink fast now , im guessing due to the light not being the right wattage?? i could be wrong.

lol these fools waste there time saying search this when they could just link or answer the question in the same time spent..

anyways a mates having the same problem blinkers flashing fast and wouldnt mind it fixed...

Or maybe search "indicator" and you will find your answer, i would not have a clue how to insert a link so if someone says search something and gives you a reference use it. Don't be a nob.

search pulled up nothing mate and who has time to go threw 50 topics with the word indicator in them..obviously if the person says search he or she knows were the answer lies so why not just post it up...

instead of being "a nob"

inserting a link is as easy as cutting it from the url bar in your browser and pasting it in your reply..

im sure the fast blinking is caused by the relay seing incorrect wattage consumption, the question is, what is the correct wattage consumption for each bulb... i think it may be easier to call repco and pretend ur buying bulbs for your skyline (rather then trying to find the answer on here as seen above)

you can wire in resisters or another set of globes in line, hidden in the car to fix the correct watt level.

I can't remember which way I went as I did this mod in 2002 or 2003. fixed my fast blinking problem for my parker light indercator swap!

i tried resistors and had no luck...

as for tutorial....

- get indicator wires - cut

- get parker wires - cut

- thread indicator wires through to parker wire place

- splice indicator wires onto parker globes and insulate

- put in 21w globes with orange sleeves/dye

- done

    • 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.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
