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?

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
