It must be something recent because there are lots of R32's without it that must have been complianced before they changed the regulations. It sucks that you have to install the side indicators on the panel because there are plenty of factory cars that were sold in Australia without them, look at the 89 corolla or magna for example. What I don't get is that the front assembly light is alredy designed with a lump on the corner acting as the side idicator. It goes the same with the corolla and magna, the main front indicator assembly has a litlly lump in the corner of it, I guess that was a design trend back in 1989.

thats what i thought because it was so far around i didnt think it would need it.

anyone with pics would be cool though :cheers:

i cant recall ever seeing a r32 with side indicators, so im hoping and praying (and im not a religious man) that i dont need them ;)

two images of mine, without and with.

i had to have mine added for compliance over 2 years ago, the guy said that was the worst part about compliancing them because he had to cut into the panels :P

in the next few months ill be getting panels for it without the indicators.. nice and clean.

the ones that dont have them are personal imports. maybe 15yr cars too, i dont know. but all others need them.

i think smaller are better. mine arent that bad but would prefer without. i think the key is that they line up with the GT badge.

mine are factory 32 GTR repeaters, and line up with the GT badge :(

Got my brother's 32 complianced a month ago, and was told side indicators weren't required anymore. Glad too because I didn't want them cutting into the side of the car.

Same deal with dash dimmer too, no longer a requirement.

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
