So another indicator/hazard lights thread but really would appreciate your help please. 

Indicator and hazard lights have stopped working. No click near the relay as well. Checked the fuse for hazard and it looked blown so chucked a new one on and yep it blew. Wondering what could cause this? 

I can't find a new Niles IF356 flasher can anywhere and I've been to Repco, Autobarn and SCA and none of them have any flasher cans resembling this. Could it be a matter of the indicator globes need replacing? 

Car is 1999 skyline gt

well the good news is that is likely to be straightforward....the hazard light positive is earthed somewhere...

first, unhook the flasher unit and replace the fuse, does it still blow? Yes, replace flasher, no, you have a wiring issue.  It's not impossible it is a globe but unlikely (you could pull out each globe in turn and see if that resolves the issue, don't forget the locally added side repeaters in the guard). Nissan (or amayama) should have the flasher, if not an aftermarket replacement is an option but you will need to connect the terminals correctly.

If it is a wiring issue you really need to start pulling things apart to access the wiring to find the problem, or if that doesn't sound like fun take it to an auto electrician.

Another possibility, as it is non turbo, is to just set it on fire and put the video on youtube, hopefully the advertising income will exceed the value of the car.

Hi,

So I've pulled the interior out a bit and have noticed that when I use the hazard switch I hear no click at all near the relay. I'm not really that electrical minded so am very confused. Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the hazards? I'm not able to find it anywhere for Skylines online

Do you guys recommend other steps that will help pin down?

Quick update on this topic.

So I took it into an auto elec, they did their test and the bloke said when he pushes the hazard switch in very lightly the indicators work and no blown fuse. Told me I need a new hazard switch, okay cool easy done.

So I went in the car and about to drive off from the shop and tried the steps and nothing happened. So I grabbed the guy and said to show me what he did and yeahp nothing was happening. He played around and then all of a sudden everything started working again and it was all good. Indicators, hazards the whole lot. Turned the car off and then back on and then nothing, the relay can make a click sound but the indicators and hazard aren't working again??? 

Then I get home and turned the car off and back onto on and no click from the flasher can at all, nothing. Then few minutes later the flasher can clicks only when the hazards get pressed but not the indicators.
Does that seem like a wiring issue to you?

      They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...

      Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !

      I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
