Does anyone know where to get R33 series 2 front bar circular clear lens, so I can replace the circular orange lens with clear ones?

For the same reason people replace their winkers with Nismo clear ones, I think the circular orange lens on the front bar make it look outdated and ugly.

Has anyone done this?

www.kudosmotorsport.com.au sell them for $200. Theese are the cheapest I've been able to find but are still way over priced IMO.

I couldn't find them there. :(

I'm sure there are a couple of members on here who have tinted ones. Looks like sam5709 has them, or has them blocked off.

ok people this is how i did mine :)

i also hated the orange lens

what i did after trying some ideas was too buy some smoked acrylic sheeting

at first my idea was too just replace the orange lense with a clear one but after taking off the fog light cover it was apparent that they wernt the same, pic attached

i took the fog light cover off and ended up smashing out my orange lenses because they were glued on or sumthing lol i then cut the smoked acrylic sheeting into the same shape as the orange lenses, i then put them in place and used small screws and screwed them inplace, now there is no more orange lol

oh and if any of you have sent me a pm in the past and i didn't reply i apologize lol i get heaps quit a few pm's asking me how to do this that i loose tack :unsure:

here are some pics of how it turned out, although they arnt clear they are better then orange :)

Thanks Sam! I had no idea the clear and orange lens weren't the same.

A couple of questions though. Is removing an indicator legal? How are people from front on to know which way you are wanting to turn?

Secondly, do you think you could just use a really dark spray shadow tint on the orange to achieve somewhat desirable results?

Or what about some clear plastic cut and filed to size, shadow spray tinted, and then inserting an amber bulb? I'm sure you can get many variations in plastic texture, like that found on the original clear lens. Looking at that picture of the orange lens, you could cut a clear plastic circle, and then make the base and put them together.

I just don't know where to get some! Any ideas?

heya, yeh i forgot to add that i changed the bulbs to orange ones to keep it legal, actually one of them had an orange one in and the other one didnt lol

as for the shadow spray, yeh you could probably do that, i personally havnt given it that much thought as i am happy with the result for now :happy: lol

Where did you get this from?

Also, how effective are your front bar indicators now that you've done this? Is it just a small orange flash because you only have an orange bulb, or does the whole circle light up like it's supposed to?

lol i ended up getting this at the place i least expected, found out that "clark rubber" sold it, i think it was 10 bux a sheet and thats all i needed :P

id say you would be able to see the flash at about 90% as apposed to the 100% stock gave so it is still plenty visible :(

man you guys are all copy cats :P

im gonna remake mine as i got another set of foglamps and garnish will do in up coming weeks then will have pics and step by steps to make it work :)

i get a pm every week in regards to these so ill make another set to show you guys

That would be awesome mate, it looks as if you've done somthing to your fog lamps as well? They dont look normal. Looks mean as anyways.

I went to a headlamp speacialist to get the clear lense removed without breaking it, and I have found a clear lense which will do the job, although I'm curious to see how you guys went about it, expecially PIG GTS, as I said, looks like you've done something different to yours that makes it look meaner...

Anxiously awaiting the tutorial!

Sorry to bring up a bit of an old thread. Does anyone have any updates to what they have done recently regarding the front indicators?

I have a spare set of front foglight/indicator assemblies and have wanted to do this for quite a while, but like people have said earlier the bloody foglight glass and indicator glass are different :rolleyes:

Do you think that if i took the glass to some specialist like a glass cutter or something, they could somehow cut the foglight glass and make it fit into the indicator?? Anyone done something like this??

Cheers guys

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
