who knows about electronics???

i have a soarer - the owner in japan has done this to the side repeators.. i don't know how to explain it.. but the side repeator stays "on" when park lights are on...

soooooooo park lights go on.... and side repeators turn on... but still indicate...

i want to do that same treatment to my side indicator.. as can be seen here

and here..

anyone know how to do it?

...or even what this process is called so that i can google it?

and yes i know this is a skylines forum but A) the process should be the same and B) soarer forums are chock full of retarded folk.

Sounds easy if I think I know what you're talking about. Solder another set of positive and ground wires from the parker wires to the side repeaters for both sides. Cover with electric tape. Done. Or try bypass the blinker relay.

that doesn't sound easy at all...

it sounds quite the contrary!!!

reason being... if i solder a wire from the park light wiring... into the indicator wiring...

...then how would the indicator wiring cancel??? wouldn't it just stay on and not blink??

EDIT:

how would one bypass the blinker relay???

Edited by Mr Eps

maybe a relay before the indicator relay signal so if parkers = on then power to indicators.. if indicators = on relay switches over and indicators work but parkers have cut off..

okay i either dont get what you said there or you are speaking in pigeon english, craig..

are you saying i should INSTALL a NEW relay before the standard indicator relay?

i think that you accidentally a coke bottle..

i think i get what he is saying. now i'm not entirely up on relays, but can you have a relay where it has 2 power sources, and if only 1 has power it will be switched on, but if both has power it turns off? if you can then that would be the way to do it. the signal from the indicators would then come as a pulse making the light turn on and off as it pulses.

ok after thinking about that some more, having a second relay may be the easier option. have the first relay setup as normal (using the parkers as the signal). the second relay could be used between the first relay and the lights. this one would get it's signal from the indicators, however the 12v in wouldn't actually be 12v in, it would be the wire coming from the first relay and the ground signal out would be going to the light. this would require a relay that is closed in the normal position though, which may be hard to find as they are normally open.

XOR gate, except then it would flash out of sync with your side repeater.

If they've set up your side repeaters to do this, then you can disconnect the normal feed to your main indicator, and take the feed for the indicator from the side repeater. Whatever they've done to the side repeater to make it work like this will also make your main indicator do the same (assuming the circuit can handle the load of the extra bulb, which shouldn't be a problem as the wattage is pretty low anyway)

^^^^^^^i think what warps said would be easiest... but at the same time like he said...

it's dependent if the circuit can handle the load...

only bad thing about jumping the main indicators off the side indicators is (in my opinion) that it's REALLY dodgy wiring...

Hey, I'm a mech engineer, not elec. Dodgy auto electrics is my game

The less dodgy way is to find the source for the side repeaters (normally this is piggy backed from the main indicator, but I imagine this is not the case here) and take the feed from there. Rewire both sets of lights if need be, to keep the wiring tidy.

That's what I mean. find where they're getting their feed (obviously not from the normal spot, which is usually piggy backed off the main indicator) and use the same source to feed the main indicators. If you wire the main indicators straight to the source for the repeaters (which already do what you want them to) then this achieves the same result as piggy backing the main indicators off the side repeaters (which as you correctly pointed out could end up dodgy)

here is a very basic way to do it with just 2 relays. it will light up your blinker / repeaters with the parkers or headlights (whichever you choose) and make sure that when you indicate left of right the blinker flashes in sync with the side and rear one.

the only thing that wont work is the two fronts as hazard lights. it is doable but would require 2 diodes or another 2 relays. i can add to the drawing to show you if your keen.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
