Adr Approved - Is It Important?

Slowly going about modding the 260RS. Little things along the way of building my dream vehicle, and I decide that the orange side blinkers have to go.

So I decide that I'll go with a nice set of Nismo smoked colour side indicators. Long story short, I was told that as far as mods go, I could choose between orange or clear Nismo side indicators, and the smoked colour version was NOT ADR approved.

Is this a big thing? I mean this ADR business. Do the colour of the side indicators matter? If I go with smoked, what can happen? I've tried some online searching and it all seems a little vague. Plenty of people are using smoked colour indicators without getting done by the cops. Yet it is stated that it does not meet ADR approval.

Really want the smoked indicators, but am a little iffy about this ADR approved business ....

Your thoughts?

just get the clear ones, i think they look better on a silver car than the smoked ones anyway.

i regards to ADR approved items, obviously the more ADR legit things you put on your car the less trouble you can get in with the authorities, be it the cops, department of transport or your insurance company. i'd start buy getting into contact with the department of transport in your state and getting a real answer on if you can have them or not.

indicators must show orange when operated, which is why factory are tinted orange and clear ones use orange globes. the smoked ones are forwned upon because they reduce the orange and brightness. smoked look pretty average anyway - go clear

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
