Hey all, i was just wondering if its possible to change the parkers on the r33 headlights into indicators?

has anyone done it before or tryed as i have a 400r front bumper but it had foglights instead of indicators in the bumper, so now that im respraying it, im wondering weather i can change the parkers over, as its impossible to source/find some gtr front indicators in adelaide!

I assume its more than likely just cut some wires and put them together solder and change the bulbs, but wondering if its been done/is it effective?

Cheers

Aaron.

Hey mate,

i done it on my 33 GTR it was a while ago but im pretty sure the plug on the indicators plugs straight into the back of the headlights where your parkers go.

i deffinetly didn't cut any wires or anything. Not sure if a GTS-t is the same but if it is its an easy job

Hey mate! definately do-able, I have that setup on my r33 series 1. I too had the 400r fb with the indicators at the front but i thort it looked s**t, so moved them up to the parkers and installed angel eyes over the hi beam headlights as my parker lights, Looked the tits until the bals blew up! :(

Anyway i cut and soldered the wires to make it work. You will also need to get an orange globe otherwise your indicator is white. I suggest an led type would give you the best light. Also if the indicator is flashing to fast, i think it means you need a high watt globe.

I have heard that its meant to be illegal but i have had no issues in 5yrs!

thanks guys for all the replys, had a quick look and its sad to say not the same plug :/ but for the extra half hour cutting and redoing the wires is a small price to pay.

thanks all for the help and what youve done (and what the police havent done)

now the all important Q of what do i put where the indicators should be in the bumper ........

i did it a few years back and haven't looked back

cut the wires and re-threaded them to the parkers, then just used some slip on orange doovalackies over plain globes

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
