Hi everyone

I have this weird problem with my Stagea (series 2 if that matters)

When the headlights are on and i turn on the right indicator, the headlights flick to high beam for about half a second then back to normal. Doesn't do it when indicating left and doesn't do it every single time.

Was thinking about replacing the indicator stalk but hoping someone might have another idea :)

Cheers Lucas

I have a s2 but the problem with mine is when you put the right indicator on the headlights flick off then on again for a milli second, but only once every 10-15 min so I can't replicate it all the time????

Mate that sounds like what mine might be doing... After doing it again last night I think it is the headlights flicking off but because I have hid lights it looked like the high beam initially

Mine happens much more often than 10 min though it probably happens every 3-4 times no matter about time passed

I'm trying to get hold of another indicator stalk anyway to hopefully solve it or at least rule it out

Can't believe more people haven't got this problem? :-(

I have the issue of them flicking off for a millisecond. Strange thing is the voltage meter shows a very small dip in power when it happens and some interior lights also dim.

I can often turn off my radio and it can sort the problem.

Confirmed tonight that it is definitely the lights flicking off, not to high beam. Doing it a lot less tonight than previous nights.

What's the theory behind the radio station? My radio tuner is never on, it's always playing from usb (sorry not sure if that answers your question or not)

Just weird I guess, The only far out weird thing I'm thinking of is a frequency issue between the lights & a particular radio station. It is possible, as frequencies in certain areas CAN affect electrical operation.

On Ben's car, if it only happens when a particular station/band is being used, then when he indicates, if there is a slight resistance (& frequency) change to the operating headlight circuit at the stalk that is very close to that of the radio, then interference MAY occur.

It's weird, I know, but in my years in dealerships, I've seen ALOT of weird stuff, & frequency interruption is one of them!

Update!!

Spoke to a mate today who has the same problem in his C34! He has changed his indicator stalk 3 times now, each time it fixed the problem but each time it happened about 6 months later.

But apparently the problem does not occur unless you use AUTO light setting. If you use normal headlight controls there is no flicker!

Will confirm this is the case tonight, and if so i'm not going to bother replacing the stalk if its just going to keep happening.

Hope that helps some other people! Can everyone who was having the issue please confirm they had lights on the AUTO setting at the time?

      Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
