your also missing the rectifier diodes, they go after each output from the IC4017, with out them, the SCRs wont latch.

what kind of power supply are you using to bench test the circuit??
EDIT : Why 9V? Are you using a power regulator? If so , what kind?

your also missing 3 more rectifier diodes,these go before anything...prevents any back feeding and protects your circuit incase you have the power wires backwards.
Ground...............Diode
Turn Signal.........Diode
Reverse..............Diode
EDIT...You WILL need a 6 ohm load resistor on each side, unless you like hyper flashing/blinking
EDIT...Or a 3 ohm Resistor if you have front LED turn signals...OR a new LED Flasher, located somewhere inside your dash.
Mine...

Was thinking of doing a mod like this, and started. The only question I have is what type of pcb are you using to mount the leds. I tried using pcb from Radio Shack but quickly found out its crap. I can't bend it to match the contour of the light. The Radio Shack stuff just cracks and wont bend far before breaking.

Flipper... awesome turn signals man!!
You mentioned 6 ohm load resistor on each side. Is that all that's necessary to get the hyper flash to stop? Install one resistor per side and not one resistor per turn signal lamp? superbrightleds-com advises to use one resistor per signal. But they also recommend the LED flasher in place of the resistors if possible, so I'm confused...!?
Also, you mentioned LED flasher up in the dash. Is that the location of the Electronic LED 12V Flasher Relays on the 350z? I thought it was out somewhere in the open and easy to access, like the fuse box!?
I searched, but cannot find any info on which LED flasher is to be used with our cars...

IF you dont like hyperflashing/Ricer Blinker
THEN
IF you ONLY have LEDs in the rear and HALOGEN in the front or vice versa
THEN
Install a two 6 ohm resistor ,one on EACH LED side.
END
IF you have LEDs on BOTH front and back
THEN
Install a 6 ohm resistor on all four sides
OR
install a two 3 ohm resistor, one on each side. Doesnt matter if its the back or the front.
END
END
/done

Also, I guess a digital LED flasher module doesn't exist for our cars? Or is the circuitry built into some BCM block?

Props to flipper for helping you. I commend that. Flipper sells these. From his MySpace.
That's neat that he helped you out like that. I may need to PM Flip to make me some, what he did here in this thread speaks volume to me.
For a "company" to assist a sole person is pretty fawkin cool.
I'm done humping Flipper now. LOL

Hate to be a wet blanket, but I think those are a really bad idea. Non-standard signals are likely to distract and confuse people. You could find yourself in an accident as a result, and the person who hits you would claim the signal was a contributing factor.
They will also attract the attention of the police, and that's never a good thing.
I know stock is boring, but sometimes boring is better than the alternatives.

On that particular video I have full control of the blinking rate and reverse signal. Im testing the basic functions, the turn signal is red-orange while the reverse is white. i hope your not thinking thats how it looks in the car installed.. Had em for more than 2 years, no problems. The new mustang gt has sequential turn signals as well, so its nothing new since FORD has it already.
