Disco lights lol. I can look at your air cond if you like since that's my trade. As for your lights flickering on and off, you might have had a power surge, might have been because of the air cond, can't really say without having a look. Maybe there is a sparky on the forum that could clarify this up?

if its flickering and what not, id say you've got an overload. might be worth getting someone to check inside the main switchboard. aircon could be overloading the board (which sounds unusual if its only doing it now)

legally i cant poke around behind the switchboard but that sounds like where the problem might be

I have seen this before It soudns like the neutral supply to your house has a week connection. You need a good neutral for the return circuit to work. Eg power goes to your light switch then light then to neutral. So if the neutral is not a good bond it will make the lights dip and everything wont have its full voltage. Is it worse with more turned appliances turned on. The neutral can brake at the top of the stobie pole or in you meter box. Find out if any neighbours are having the same problem. Ive seen 2 house next door have the same problem because they both shared the same neutral. It could also be the pole top transformer just about to die putting out high volts (which blows globes). If you can get a multimeter put it on AC volts and put in power point you should have between 230-250v. You will need a sparkie to check if it is your problem or etsa's then you can go from there.

snap...........that would have been my next thought actually brad............did so many service replacements over in whyalla on standby down to old broken neutrals

I guess you would see this up the pole where I would of seen this in the back of the meter box. Sounds like we need a composite crew to go have a look.

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      Mechanic in Victoria

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
