Why? And what sort of GTR does that? R32? No. R33? No. R34? No. All have dedicated amber indicators.

Besides, in a car as modern as a G37, the indicators and brakes lights and so on are all driven by the BCM. You can reprogram the BCM to flash whatever lights you want, without buying some tacky clear plastic lens Altezza uleh lights.

Doesn't the ADM R32 GT-R have this config?

No. ADM R32s had a different setup with the outer of the outer as brake only, with amber indicator in the centre of the outer (instead of it just being a reflector). This because ADRs require that no permanently lit rear light may reside outboard of the rear indicator (which is what the JDM tailights have).

All imported R32s are supposed to have the wire linking the tail light input to the outermost light cut, to approximate the ADM config and comply with ADRs.

Ah, OK thanks. I stand corrected.

On your 2nd point, I imagine this isn't performed consistently or "cut" may be translated to "disconnected."

I don't think I have noticed on R32s this but probably not looking either and would have assumed the light was out. The wiring on mine is intact and looks original.

Hahah yea the guy I brought it off imported it lol but still parts are not easy to find for the car trying to find tail lights that turn your led lights that also function as your turn signal 

I have the g37 tail as turn plug and play for sale If youre really that interested. 

Took it off My v36 prior to sale. 

Just makes the entire light flash as an indicator. I did like it, each to their own.

Mine was cut. Needed a patch splice soldered in to put it back the way it should be. It was supposed to be done in the compliance workshop and inspected by the rego people. I suspect that SA/Regency were more thorough about such things. Funnily enough, my car has been back through Regency since and they didn't even blink. I think they cared at compliance time because it was written down as a thing they had to check. But they probably actually only cared from a paperwork/auditability point of view and not from a technical perspective, because it's a pretty silly rule.

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
