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.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
