Hey guys, i own a s13 silvia but plan to replace my front 1/4 panel indicators with s15 ones.

The thing is i see s15 clear front 1/4 indicators for sale that say they also fit r34 and r33 GTR's..

I am wondering if the front 1/4 panel indicators on the r33 gts25t's are swapable with s15 ones.

The reason for this is that there are a lot more 33 recks then 15's.. so i need the 1/4 panel indicator housing from a 33 and i am planning to use that housing on my front 1/4 panels.. and i hoping to use clear s15 nismo lenses..

Hopefully this makes sense..

Just wondering if anyone knew.. or can take some pics of the r33 indicator housing.. Or even if there is a difference between r33 gts25t indicators and r33 Gtr ones..

thanks

alright.. thanks for that guys.. looks like gtst indicators will be of no use to me really.. i think i would need to hack out a big square.. need something that sits 'proud' or on top of the metal

so i cant really get 33 gtr indicators easily.. not many recks i would presume :)

but i would require the housing.. well thats my assumption..

like the nismo indicators are just the lense that goes onto the housing..

so basically i would have no where to clip the lense onto etc..

and the ones on my s13 were added for compliance reasons.. so there is like no aftermarket support and they are shitty round things, where as everything on the 13 is a square shape.. so doesnt look good imo

I could be wrong, but I think that the S15/R33GTR/R34 side indicator assy is used on a few other post -98 Nissans. Can anyone else confirm this - if I get time I'll have a quick look in the FAST catalogue. If they are on an Aussie delivered car you might be able to find one at the wreckers.

And you are right, the 'Nismo' side indicators for R33's won't fit as they are a direct replacement for the factory R33 GTS ones:

i think u guys are missing the point..

the nismo's are just the lense.. i need the plastic that attaches to the wire too..

For example.. this is what i currently have on my silvia:

I call that the 'housing'.. and the lense attaches to that..

Obviously the lense has no way of attaching itself to the body without some kind of housing

    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
