Hey guys,

i have a R33 with a Aftermarket Front Bumper and i want to move my indicators as where they are now is not ideal / look out of place.

my idea is to rewire the parkers and make that the indicators and get a dual filament bulb for parkers / headlights.

my question is, can you get such a bulb for an r33 and if so where?

ill take a pic of my bumper today and upload tonight (as i'm at work) so you can see what i'm talking about.

Thanks in Advance,

Tim

Here is a pic of what the setup looks like now

you can see why i want to get rid of them little squares, just dont look right.

Maybe i can get a bulb that can be used for Low / High beam and the low beam would become the parker and parker becomes indicator..

anyone else have any input?

Cheers,

Tim

hence my idea :D

seems like thats my only option until that time comes around then ill just put the shitty indicators back on.

Unless someone knows of the bulb i need and knows where i can find one for a car (ie a 33) :P

Obe - I have that very same bumper!! Hehehe, My indicators were in my parkers (orange T10) but they just weren't bright enough. I recently installed rounds ones where you have those square ones. They look ok, but still outta place. I'm now looking at installing a larger indicator globe into the parker. I think its the way to go. Like craved said, shouldn't cause any issues.

Off topic for a sec - Does ur bumper scratch on everything? :P

my car isnt lowered that much, but it scrapes if you go 2 fast in obvious places :P

yea seems the way to go, i had round ones also but they were really old and yellow, looked aweful.

tried the square ones out but even with clean ones still look out of place :)

there is my weekend project :)

As an interesting point, I bought a pair of S2 headlights recently, and they have a single light for both high and low beam as well as built in indicators and parkers.

All factory mind you, apparently they're quite rare.

The globes are marked : H4U 12Volt 60/55W

They are def. dual filament globes.

Have you got any pictures of what the bulb holder looks like?

Wondering if the bulb holder could be purchased and retro-fitted into a standard Series II headlight assembly?

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
