Been chassing a new indicator: on closer inspection $80 for 1 average cond 2ndhand orange indicator OR est $100 for a 'pair' of brand new clear ones.

I prefer the orange just quietly but have ordered a pair of clears, chassing some opinions, please keep in mind my car is purple :cool:

some differences:

depends on the colour of the car of course but i prefer the Orange, mainly because it adds to the naturally aggressive look of the GTR... non-GTR Orange bulbs aren't as orange because the face isn't orange itself but i saw your car on Saturday at Rhys' cruise and i personally think keeping the orange would look nicer than going for the white

it's your car mate, change them around and see what you think yourself, not that hard to change them back :cool:

I prefer* the clears but the lenses are made of plastic and like the 33 headlights etc, yellow over time which looks crap compared to the perfectly clear glass lenses on the 32 headlights.

I wish I could get the indicator lenses made from glass but it's probably something for the too-hard-basket :)

* My 32 is black though and it looks phat with clear indicators, can't say about other colours :D

Think its all personl preference. I like the clear ones better personally, I dont like orange. Maybe do a google and see what other purple cars look best with. or if you are handy with photoshop you could always see what they will look like before you make your mind up. I love photoshop :)

I like the clear indicators generally but, because of the colour of your car I think the orange would suit it best. Got a pic with the orange ones?

Photoshop is gooooood. I so much prefer it with clear indicators, they go much better with the white rims and it looks more modern/fresh. if you do go with clear or tinted, I also like the nismo R33 side blinkers, that is if your car has the little side blinkers, otherwise there is no need to worry about them. They look way sexier than little orange nobs. :P

Purple really clashes with the orange indicators.

They Stock GTR look good with them cos its a distinguishing feature on them.

Go clear indicators, tinted makes headlights look too small, and cops don't agree with the tinting

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.
