Side Indicators And 3Rd Stop Light

[chus13]

I went through the PITS yesterday and the inspector told me that I need to fit indicators in my quarter panel as well as a 3rd stop light either at the top of my rear window, or attach one to the spoiler. I had the vehicle inspected in November last year as well and the inspector that I had that time said that if there isn't indicators there, I didn't need them and the same for a 3rd rear stop light.

Ive tried finding the relevant info in the ADR's but I'm struggling. I also noted that I don't think I have ever seen a 3rd stop light on a R32 nor the side indicators.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks guys

For a r32 u do not require quarter panel

Indicators as for the rear im not 100% but it isn't a bad idea to have one installed.

my R32 GTST had both from Japan, HOWEVER, I have never seen a GTR with the panel indicators.

The high mount brake light is visible at the top of the rear screen in this link:

Side indicator behind front wheel above the 'GT' badge is just visible in this link also:

I think you need to get as many pictures of GTR's as you can find (especially the AUS delivered ones) & take them along to your inspector. Also tell him the vehicle meets ADR as it passed compliance (might be a futile arguement though).

Good Luck!

Thanks for the replies guys.

It has had quarter panel indicators installed previously as there is holes drilled there. Its just a matter of getting another set. Its just frustrating getting told incorrect information the first time and wasting money on inspections and permits when I didn't have to. I'm going to call the DOT and have a yarn and see what information I can get out of them.

I just found this http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F2006L01433

It looks like I don't have a leg to stand on.

According to the technical bulletin T.434 from Nissan, The Aussie delivered GTR's were fitted with the side indicator and the high stop light as part of the compliance process to sell them here. My GTSt was also fitted with side markers (can't recall the rear stop lights though) as part of compliance when I imported it in 2001.

I'm not 100% sure whether you can get away without these items on GTR's, but I thought that would be a requirement of the compliance process.

You won't be able to use the Aussie delivered GTR's as an argument, because they were all fitted with these items,

Side indicators are not required in all states. (The front indicators wrap slightly round)

You could argue this however each state and each inspector has differing opinions.

3rd brake light is required in all states.

I have had 32's with and without side winkers.

If you have the holes already - cut them to fit the 34 winkers (look great )

Those round ones look shite !

Thanks for the help guys. I'm just going to do whats required.

I wonder if I could argue it has 4 stop lights because of the rear light layout
