hi all,

i just installed a new bumper, and need to wire up the indicators. i have a series 2 r33, and kept one of the old broken blinkers/foggies.

It has a plug with 3 wires coming out of it to the bulb.

Pink

Green

Black

Im alright with electronics, but know F all when it comes to car electrics. Can anyone tell me what color does what? I'm assuming Black is ground, and pink and green drive either the indicator or foglights.

There seems to be another black wire in the mix, but i dont know what its for. it isnt connected to the bulb i have here. My mechanic wanted to charge me the shop rate to install it, but if i can save myself the cash would be great.

Other question is whether it would be possible to get the plug from Nissan or Repco etc. Be easier to wire up the new lights in the house, and just plug into the old sockets.

Getting under the car to splice the wires is going to be a real pain in the azz. In which case is there a special type of wire i need? i have an old cord from an Iron with me. Also have some PVC tape. Is this safe to use outside in the wet etc?

And just to prove my newbieness, are these bulbs polarized or doesnt it matter which wire i plug in where. eg, no cathode/anode stuff. Nothing on the packaging.

Any help appreciated.

update:

ok, just had a quick look outside, managed to get the side winker off. it looks to be black and green.

judging as how the socket/plug has 3 terminals, im assuming the pink drives the foglights, and they both share the black wire as a common earth.

cant get at the wires in the dark at the moment, so will have to eyeball it during the day. i guess i can always look at the one i salvaged. any ideas if these are common part?

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
