ive just brought a R33 Gts-T today and the parklights have been made into indicators and is causing the car to think there is a blown globe due to there not being enough current draw on the system because of the size of the wedge type parklight globes. is there anyway of fixing this problem without having to re-wire the indicators and parklights back to the way they were? all help is greatly appreciated.

thanks =]

+ 1 for resistor.... im going to alltronics in perth to get some for mine.. ill take a 5w globe that i want to use and a 21w standard globe and get them to mesure the resistance for me ... lol im not a nerd. eheh

The easiest way you can fix this is get a internally resisted flasher unit, they are about $15-20 at coventrys.

Take your old one in and they will match it up.

You can also use this to fix the fast flashing when putting LED's into your car, and its a lot cleaner than putting a resister in your harness.

hey guys thanks for all the feedback! turns out it was easy as just changing the front globes to a higher wattage :( (was only running 5w-12v globes -.-") put in some 12v-16w ones and it slowed them right down >_< its a pain in the ass getting the front right hand parker (now indicator) plug out....had to remove the washer bottle, over flow bottle and move the relay box just to fit my hand in! and i ended up doing it in the dark holding a torch with my mouth :P but yeah thanks again! anyone know where to find 16-18w amber wedge globes that will still fit the parker socket? (currently using white as i was told it legal) but i just want to be safe.

I went in to repco and found the 18watt t10 wedge globes ther bout 3.99 for 2 but their clear.. im just gona go to bunnings when i go back to work and grab some led glass spray.. spray the globes orange and ill go from there.. about 6.99 for the can .. hehe 12buks might be worth it..

oh cool. i wasnt aware that there was a glass spray, thats actually pretty good. how long will the spray last untill it starts to flake off roughly? as R33 owners would know its a pain in the ass to get to the r/h/f parklight =/ as ive previously said. but yea i'll definatly consider that, its cheaper an less hassle than getting a yellow licky for clear front indicators lol

Yea dont know.. what is easyer is take out the head light its self... easy as 1 TAKE OFF GRILL 2 UNSCREW TOP BOLT... 3 UNSCREW TWO NUTS ON THE BACK OF THE HEAD LIGHT. 3 TAKE OUT..

i went to altronics and they didnt know what i was on about.. when i explaned to them about using an risistor..

so now i just want the best and fullproof way on geting my indicators to stop flashing fast AS WELL ......... ahhhhh

so it seams that the relay would be the best bet.. come on guys tell us what you have used.. thanx

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
