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?

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
