hey guys, ok so my r33 has a 400r frontbar in which the blinkers are in the kit itself, the previous owner disconnected the blinkers on the lights in order to wire up the front bar blinkers, this has lead to the car thinking 2 bulbs are busted and giving me that insanely annoying quick blinker, ok now the question i want to ask you gurus, is their any way to disable this quick blinker system at all (its pointless having it on anyway seeing as even if their was a light out somewere i wouldn't know because its constantly on the quick blinker) cheers guys

One possibility is that the incorrect wattage of bulb has been used.

The fast blink is not so fast that you can't see the lights "on/off". And I think if you use "hazard", the lights blink at "normal" rate.

yes, try using your hazards and they will blink at normal rate (even if you ever did have a bulb out). You should look into the wattage of the bulb first and secondly make sure that the wireing is not twist and tape and is terminals in heat shrink or somthing similar.

As Basti said, the circuit is looking at resistance, and you have half as much as you need. An inline resistor should fix the problem, but I don't know off the top of my head how much you'll need.

At a guess, i'd say you could measure the resistance of one of your bulbs (multimeter on positive and negative of globe, which you take out to test), and then buy two resistors of that value and then wire them inline somewhere. (one for left, one for right)

Replace the flasher can (relay) with one that will work for LED's and you shouldn't have a problem. Something like this. (This may the incorrect pin configuration, so please check first)

      It is an absolute lottery. They can and have died at stock boost with low usage at all. The turbos are now anywhere up to 36 years old!

      Huh, wonder why it blew then. I never really beat on the car THAT hard lol I dailyed it and the turbo blew after 6 months

      That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.

      I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
