I think maybe I need some proper extra fuse box or something for my GTST now, as a I have a few aftermarket things all wanting power sources, and I found out the shop which put my boost controller in just got a live by wedging the wire in one side of a blade fuse which vexed me greatly. :/

So I need something a bit more 'professional'?

Any ideas? Sorry but my auto-electrical knowledge is shit.

Also anyone know why my indicators flash faster now I went to LED's and what can I do?

my personal favorite: routing wires straight from the battery and a switch on the dash :) but you want something that looks semi professional. in which case relays are your friend! you probably already know what they are but ill say it anyways. a relay is basically an electronically triggered switch; it uses a little power to activate a switch that lets a lot of power through

i think your super fast indicators need resistors put in the works. LEDs have far less resistance than normal bulbs. so in theory, the ECU has noticed this and assumes a bulb is out, hence the fast flash. however i dont know what kind of resistor you will need. that will take some multimeter work and ohms law equations on your behalf

:google: "electronic flasher unit"

these bad boys make the indicators flash at the same speed regardless of load. but you need to find yours and see how many terminals it has first so you get the right one

you can buy led load resisters. you just join one end into the indicator wire and the other end to earth. you will need one for each indicator with an led. you should.be able to get them from super cheap or just about any automotive store

    • You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster. 
    • Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!
    • That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect 
    • i cant get them all in 1 screenshot unfortunately as i just dont know how to move things around tbh, but they are all from the same log and the line crosses at the same point for all of them
    • It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
