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

      Unpeeling the Orange

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
