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.

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:

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

      Genuine nismo N1 rear pods - anyone got any?

      By Sleepergm · Posted

      I’m sure this has been discussed many times. But anyone have any or know someone that is selling genuine N1 rear pods? I’m still shocked no one replicates these yet. Looking to buy some. Added a photo of the part. 👍🏻

      Alcon TA6 Calipers on R33 GTST - Flexing

      By Nismo32 · Posted

      Hello, The dog bone wont have much to do with this - the calliper applies a load about the disc - the outside of the calliper is more flexible than the inside by virtue of it not haveing the big torqued down bolts, additional metal structure on the caliper itself, and mostly not being cantilevered. So the outside of the calliper is pushing away as its more bendy and brining the inside with it as an equal pressure on both sides of the caliper looks to cause more flex on the outside - which makes sense. I have done this same thing with the calliper unbolted from the dog bone - same thing happens. Although id have to watch more carefully to see how much more the outside moves than the inside in this case. Im guessing there is a point in the pedals travel where the pressure is not actually increasing in the system - its just volumne displacemnt - and because the outside of the calliper is more flexy, it receives that volume. Have gone back to Alcon again - but beyond a resolution there I would stay clear of this calliper and possibly any of the lighweight type of callipers - especially if you have the smaller 15/16" master cylinder. Cheers.

      Yes, you can very clearly see from more than one angle that it is the whole caliper moving left-right, not deformation of the caliper. The top moves, the bottom moves. Equally. It should be possible to see where the movement is occurring. Just need to look more closely.

      Water pump replacement - Sydney region

      By billyons · Posted

      Hi Folks, my 2009 Skyline 370GT “Crossover” wagon is losing water and has been diagnosed as needing a water pump replacement (it’s an internal timing-chain driven unit, not the usual electric type that seems to be used across many manufacturers). Am looking for any repairer recommendations in the Sydney /Wollongong region who can be trusted and are experienced in this sort of work on the VQ 36 engine. Many thanks….Bill

      While all of the above makes sense, we're not talking about some Ling Long calipers of AliExpress; Alcon would have to be one of the top 5 caliper suppliers in the world and these are not their budget units. If there were manufacturing defects in the caliper causing this issue I'd be very disappointed. Having re-watched the video a few times I think it's dog bone/mount related. The caliper moves independently to the rest of the suspension and brake assembly which suggests to me that it's not mounted rigidly. I know this sounds stupid, but have you got enough thread on the retaining bolts or are they a poofteenth too long and it's not super tight? For axial movement to be occurring without deforming the caliper that can be the only answer.
