Hi fellas,

I am after some smoked R33 GTR side and front indicators.

I found some smoked side indicators on Ebay from JDM Concepts for $105 posted (which is bargain in my opinion) but cannot find any smoked round indicators for the R33 GTR/Nismo 400R front bar.

I think it would look wicked for all indicators are clear and smoked not the old orange ones.

AND, should I also go smoked lights all around INCLUDING the rear lights?

PS: as a side question, is it hard to change R33 GTR side indicators? Do the guards need to be removed in order for this to happen?

Cheaper, free post :D

If they're changed the same way as the gtst then they can be changed with the fender on the car.

I wouldn't go for those rear lamps, I don't like them but I guess it's personal opinion

those of any interest to you?

Hope this helps,

thanks mate ... Got these already but am after front smoked indicators now.

no worries, only other thing i can think of is..(dont know if this is possible, jsut thinking outloud) buying a clear set, heating them partially the same way people do to take apart headlights for projector conversion, then spraying the inside of the lense with that DIY lens smoking stuff in spray cans they sell at autobarn etc...

thanks mate ... Got these already but am after front smoked indicators now.

Please dont get the smoked rear! My mate had them on his 34, and it looked like absolute shit. Got stickered within a week. The standard ones look much better anyway. Although standard coloured LED tail lights look the best imo.

Thanks mate...not going to get rears...looks like shit indeed! LOL

I think the stock rear lights look best...hate LED ones....

But yeah, now that I know where to get smoked side ones....in need of front ones now!

If nismo make them I can go order a set as Nismo shop is 5mins from my place here in jappa but they could be costly!!

That's awesome...but they still don't look smoked...I'm after a unique look...have never seen smoked front indicators...these ones look more like clear ones.

Thanks champ...is this possible? So you think just get clear ones and then get a spray can and spray the lens? Never heard of a smoking-type spray can...do you have any more details?

Yeah mate they are clear ones, I just chucked the pic up so you knew it was genuine Nismo shop !!!

My mistake. But if its a genuine Nismo part, then ordering them is piece of p#ss !!

it would very much depend on how the body of the indicator is made. you know how headlights have the front flat bit and then the main body, and they are joined together with a kind of glue that can be heated and prised apart.. well if indicator body was one piece i tihnk youd be stuffed but if its two piece why wouldnt the same process ppl use on headlights work.. as for the spray stuff i remember it being for sale in autobarn or super cheap auto. described on the directions to apply more layers dependign on how dark you want the smoke effect

so i jsut googled. VHT nightshade is waht im talkign about. 13 bucks a can or so from autobarn.

can anyone shed any light (no pun intended) on the design of the body of the indicators spunky munky is lookign at?? one or two piece?

The same mate with the tinted tail lights also tinted his standard front lights. Looked really good considering he did it with them on the car, 3 days after it was painted, 2 hours before the Perth Auto Salon... Looked very smoked when off, and obviously orange when on. He also took the car over the pits 3 times like that, and passed everytime.

Would you have any pictures or anything of this? Sounds exactly like what I want to achieve.

Considering that genuine Nismo head lights/indicators cost over $300 combined - I'd be really careful when doing this.

Thanks all.

Hey mate, i know what you want to do..

There is a way in which I have done it and works fantastic..

Find a spray painter mate, and spray your lights in a light coat of HOK candy black. When its applied to clear items, ie tailights and headlights, it becomes transclucent and looks f**ken insane..

My mate did it to all his lights on his black VE-SS, and OMG looks fantastic, you;d just have to have clear indicators to start with or you will have silly looking orange smokes indicators!

Goodluck!

Wow, sounds easy...how many coats of this paint should I apply? I would have guess, about two coats as more it would be too dark?

Would you have any pictures?

Thanks.

Wow that's tough...this is exactly what I want...so you think just go to Autobarn and buy a spray can of smokey paint? I'm so bad with spray painting - does anyone (with a little experience) want to help me here? :P

Thanks all...but this is what I want...

Ok, so I've bought myself a set of Nismo side and front indicators...cost me over $240. The side ones are already smoked (so I will leave them) - the front ones are just clear...I've been to Autobarn and they actually sell "smoking spray paint."

They say if I spray like 5mm away and do it gently, 2 coats should do the trick they'll last like forever...however, I'm just a bit hesitant as I do not want to stuff up my front indicators that cost like $170 a set. So can anyone please give me some tips in regard to spraying?

Thanks.

    • I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.       
    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • 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'
