I've noticed that R32 gtst's seem to have come with either amber or clear side indicators. Which was the latest revision? I'm looking at buying a rh side replacement and I want to confirm the one availalbe from nissan (26124-01U00) is the amber as that's what I already have and prefer. Thanks. 

Nah. Most GTSt are amber. Typical examples

You do see some with the clears. I've never really bothered to work out why they exist. It might be that it's the early GTSts (like '89-90) that had clears. The various adverts for genuine clear indicators say that they only fit GTSt guards, not GTR.

Nearly 20 years ago this was something of  a hot topic!

 

I'd love to know the actual timeframe and models they came on. My 1990 gtst has full amber indicators. Happy to hear most were amber. If that's the case, I'll go ahead and order one and report back. 

Looked into it more, and it seems the 89-9.91 gtst was part# 2612401U00 and 9.91+ was part# 2612408U00. I'm presuming one of those is the full amber vs clear/side amber. 

My 1990 as already mentioned is full amber but I'll go see if there's a part# on the indicator.

where are you ordering brand new GTST indicators from? they are discontinued aren't they?

They are or where but they popped up on Amayama again as available. I regretted not getting one two years ago and didn't want to miss my opportunity now in case it's a fluke. I ordered the later model one. I'll let you know if it's the full amber one, once it arrives.

nice, look forward to the update

Series 1 R32's had clear indicators. Series 2 had amber indicators.

Keep in mind R32 GTRs were designed and released almost a year after the S1 was released, and they came out with amber indicators as they were moulded from a single piece of plastic (to save weight - because racecar). The original plan was to have clear indicators with a tiny bubble in amber for road regulation compliance. Once the GTR look became popular, they made the clear bit amber too in the S2 - albeit still made from 2 pieces of plastic.

A very very common mod was to change the S1 indicators to update the look. Also didn't help that S1 indicators very frequently cracked around the bulb fitting and you ended up with condensation inside.

 

The designers went back to the original intent of all clear headlights in the R33.

Yes that's also my understanding. My S1 had amber indicators but I'm presuming they were swapped out at some point. I went ahead and ordered the S2 indicators.

Amayama just informed me that they're still discontinued. No idea what happened with their system but I remember them going from available to discontinued roughly 2 years ago.

Strange that it reset itself to available again, but it was clearly an error. Aw well, it is what it is. Cheers.

Just Jap stock an aftermarket replacement

I guess you'll need to replace both to match but they are cheaper than 1 from Nissan (if they did exist)

Holy sheet.

$200 for a broken one!

pretty sure I’ve got a couple of sets in my garage. Better wrap them in bubble wrap instead of being tossed into a box of random stuff.

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
