Hey everyone.

I had another thread in the suspension area about my car being defected for being too low. Well i went through regency yesterday and they didnt even check the eyebrow height measurement that i got defected for. lol.. just straight over the pits. Anyway the guy has written on my form

Re-instate eyelevel rear brake light

Re- instate 5 degree side indicators

Fix broken manifold stud

fix exhaust leak after cat converter.

Brake light is fair enough i think because i forgot that the spoiler was taken off when the car ws sprayed etc, easily fixed but the guy rekns that my car should have indicators in the front guards that must be visible from 5degrees at rear of car. My car is a r32 92 11th month. It doesnt even look like indicators were in there in the 1st place. No wiring for them etc. Just wanted to check if anyone knows if my car being the last of the 32's has to have these indicators installed ? My old 89 and my wifes 90 model havnt got them.

Oh and i asked the guy why has this been picked up now and not the other 4 times all up with the last owner the car has been through regency, and he said i have no idea.. lol.

So yeah anyone know if he's talking crap or not ?

Cheers

hey i have a rear brake light that goes in the rear window ADR standards u can borrow!!

and i have a 93 r32 and i have side indicators!!

mine werent amber enough when i got defected lol

drop us a pm if u wanna borrow the light!

cheers

thanks for the offer dude. Iv got my old trx pinny rear brake light here im going to put in, it also sits in the rear window..

ok if your 93 has them then its a good indication that the inspector was correct and my car did have them..

cheers for your quick reply!

nah i believe that there stock front panels. Im thinking that if my car did have them b4 that they were removed and the holes welded over when the last owner had the car sprayed from black to how green

my brother got stick on indicators that just require a small hole to be drilled for the wire, theyr clear now amber though so dont know if theyll like that..

rad33... lol... defected for indicators not being amber enough... lol

worn globes... must be all the burnouts you were chucking with them right ? bit like how my tune up sticker could of caused a serious crash. lol

nah cars a gts t.. my old 89 wasa gts, didnt have them... my wifes isa 1990 4dr gts t and hasnt got them either

fyi, your car doesnt have indicators cos the compliancer didnt feel they were necessary. if you look at your normal front indicators, i believe r32s have a slight bulge or a lump to them. this can function as a side indicator by being visible from behind/5degrees. this was as designed by nissan and its really up to the inspector/compliancer to decide. im guessing if you look at two cars from different workshops they may even have different shaped lights cos the mechanics may have a differnt source for them.

anyway y not check to see if they comply your self. it shouldn't be too hard for you to stand next to your car and have a look.

i have a 32 4dr that passed on thurs and i never had to install side indicators but they did look for them. i told the guy that they are in the front indicators. they have a seperate section and even have their own globe and he over looked it after that. mines an 89 tho.height was my biggest prob. had to hire suspension.

cheers 4 all the replies fellas.

I actually discussed the whole indicator thing with the regency inspector and said to him that in my eyes the buldge on the front indicator is visibl from 5 degrees however he said theres no 2 ways about it i need to install them. How do i argue with regency though, its stupid, they set down the rules and they dont even listen when you try to explain i find.

Cruizen33 : eyebrow height is from bottom lip of guard to centre of the wheel.. should be 360mm minimum on an r32, even though all the stock ones iv measured so far fall around the same as mine 357ish which is one of the things i was defected for in the 1st place.. In my case, regency didnt even check this, so in other words they didnt even bother checking what the cops originally defected me for. pfft,

as far as ive seen through regency 89-mid 90 32's dont have to have side indicators but anything after that must have them. The wernt direct from the factory so the place where the car was complienced should put them on.

Do you have aftermarket front quarter panels?? Seems strange that it doesn't have them as it would have needed them to comply when imported!
My 89 R32 has no side indicators, but it's been in the country for a fair while.

hmmm interesting.. The compliance plate says Priority Porsch Imports.. Meh, i think im going to have to just bite the bullet and install the bastards..3rd week now of not being able to drive my car is getting very frustrating not to mention all the hardship it causes without my car. I just want it back on the road.

Cheers

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
