Hi all,

It's been a while since I've posted here again...busy with work and other stuff, I guess...well, my front bar is so cracked that it's not worth fixing, so it is time to get a new front bar...I've done so snooping around and I've decided to go with the Top-Secret style front bar - what do you guys think?

However, unlike the GTR front bar, the front gaps where the front indicators go is so large, I am thinking of leaving it bare to expose my intercoolers' piping, but this raises the question where the heck do I put the front indicators then? Any suggestions fellas? I was thinking of drilling two holes at the front close to the intercooler and put them there (a bit like the 400R style front bars)...what do you guys think?

Then again, some people put tiny rectangular-looking front indicators just on the corners of those huge gaps...where can I get these those? Hence, I need as much advice as I can get...thanks...

Dont do it mate, If you ever get defected you will need to put the parkers back and then fit indicators. Do it properly the first time. Go to autobarn, you can buy small led indicators for like $30. Solder the wires and your done.

love this front bar :P im guessin for parker/indicator just hook up the wires from the indicator to the parker bulb housing, change to orange LED and bingo! could be wrong. might need some other parts but thats how it works in my head :s lol. personally, i wouldnt do the whole blinker where the parker is. as Kris said, defect will be a problem. id find some nice looking LED lights from an electronics shop/autobarn/supercheap etc and chuck those on. u could even make ur own with parts from Jaycar.

Hi mate,

So Autobarn sells indicators? Never knew that.

Cheers.

this guy has indicators, easy peasy to install and they look nice and neat.

Yeah, I guess it's pretty easy to hook up, but the question is where can I get these indicators from?

places like Auto one and Repco sell all sorts of universal indicators like that

just go in and pic the shape and size you need

Oh ok, I never knew Reco and Autobarn sell stuff like universal indicators. Cool, thanks mate...I'll go in and pick out something...cheers.

incorrect globe wattage or globe out...

as far as legalities are concerened... some people drill a hole in their highbeams and put the parkers in there...

personally i cant see a cop ever pulling me over because he noticed i dont have parkers..... srsly

sometimes if your indicators flash too quickly, the cops can think you have an indicator out, and pull you over to warn you. Happens quite frequently when you change to LED indicators without the right wattage or resistance.

Ok fellas, well I went to Repco and bought some slim front indicators for $18 each, they look awesome...so flush at the front where the big round things were...makes the GTR front bar look so much better.

i got some slimline ones and put them in the nostrils... and then tinted them.. you could hardly tell, and they were completly legal.

Wow, interesting concept...got pics??? :)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
