R33 1/4 indicators the same as S15?

[Dxs]

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

R33 non-GTR gaurd indicators are definitely different to R33 GTR and R34 indicators. GTS etc indicators are inset into the gaurd, whereas the GTR and R34 ones sit proud.

gts ones are big and rectangular and gtr ones are oval and small. also same as the above. they are completley different

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

just by nizmo clear ones brand new

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:

cool thanks for that Ant..

i belive the new facelift Xtrail has similar clear 1/4 panel indicators.. I might goto nissan one day and see how much they are new for both the housing and the lenses..

Also here is a possible source for R33/34 GTR indicators that I stumbled across today while looking for something else:

Ahh, now I see what you want... When I get a spare moment I'll see if I can get you the part number(s) from FAST.

greenline.jp have the whole thing, the nismo clear indicators u speak of are the lense housing (1 peice) and orange bulbs, they are about 30-40 bucks by the time they land here.

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
