I think most of the importers use the same small/fall to bits side markers when complied!

Well thats what i had anyway.. I decided to go the good old typeII comodore VT side repeaters! For the simple fact they are clear and look ight!

They cost me NEW from holden city $45 for the pair.

Things you will need!

Power drill + a 1\8 SHARP drill bit!

Masking tape.

some paint.

texter.

printer paper.

soldering iron.+solder, electrical tape!

asortment of files.

First thing to do is remove the stock crap side markers, just a quick turn should do the trick! cut off the wires , and tie a bit of string around the wire. T save time later.

My dad had his VS ute at home so i took his repeater out to make a template of the hole in his body work.

To make a template i placed a bit of printer paper over the hole and used a blade to cut out the hole!

I added the front so it didnt go in wrong!

Place the paper over the existing hole in your guard, and line up with with a rule, or even your eye! (but use a rule)

Mark out the hole with a texter(i used blue lol) and then remove paper..

Have a good look at the texter and make sure its nice and plumb with the car! Cause once cut , no turning back!

To be safe and to see the shape of the hole i used some masking tape to go around the lines!

This is the FUN part. Grap ya powre drill and a new sharp 1\8 drill but.. I chose to drill out the hole than use a nibbler or other tools that can damage the sourounding paint work!

BE VERY CAREFULL when drilling, use some specks and other safe stuff so you dont get hurt, lol.

Now what ya wanna do is, place the drill bit onto the edge of the masking tape, About half a mm from the edge of the tape. DONT push too hard, you dont want the drill running off the hole mark onto ya paint...

start drilling the holes as close as you can to the one b4 , being sure not to push too hard, it take about 10 min a side.. so take your time..

20 small holes should do it... once the scrap part in the middle falls out from all the holes, get to work with ya flat file,(hand smooth) to file the hole till it is flat on the masking tape!

once all smooth place in ya repeater to be sure it will fit.. if goes in with out a hitch move on to next stage.. If not file more off till goes in.

Grab some paint and a small brush and apply a small run of paint on bare metal,(dont want it to rust) unlike origanal hole :D

take off masking tape. and use your soldering iron to solder the blinker wires to your new blinker!

Place new blinker in and test the light!

now do the same thing to other side!

end result, better looking blinkers! :(

hey, was this done on a 32 gtst?, .. kezza, is that black 32b in your sig the end result of your clear blinkers?. any one know if any one has but 32gtst blinkers or gtr r33 blikners on a r33 gtst, due to the different light, one sticks out and smaller and r33gtst is in the guard and longer and crapper looking

yeah mate. its my black one in my sig! im not sure about the R33 side markers, i would just get a nice set of clear or smoked nismo markers mate... look alot better than orange stocko ones!

while ya haveing a look check out my GB im doing, this is the last gb for me!

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...id=2663196&

thanx kezza.. yeah, ima get some clear nismo blinkers, but i just do not like the gtst side blinkers hey. gtr33/32 have those niced small poped out blinkers, ima see if this can be done on a gtst 33. ill let everyone know if it can be done :laugh:

yeah, they look cheap, funny that all nissans now have the gtr style side blinkers, damn it!. but not gtst, cheap bastards. hehe.. ill see what i can do, and post up how to do it, i cant live with these style blinkers much longer. :thumbsup:

yeah cause they are resesed into the front guard and shit . It would make it hard to out in aftermakit ones in!

even worse they are real LONNNGGGG blinkers!

You could go to the extreem and get a set of the new holden vent\blinkers, cause that template would be bigger than the stock one!

worth a think about!

kezza

Yeh the clear ones are really good.........until some jealous person who wants them and has no idea how to get em out, puts a screw driver in the front an snaps them an marks you car at same time :) do look the part but :)

damn bastards!!. i belive some one would do that 2 blinkers.. if i was rich i would put trackers on all the parts that are easy to steal, them suprise them at there house one day and ask for the part back..hehe, would be sooo funny...

    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches. 
    • Welcome!  Can't go wrong with a Stag.
    • Looks good. Nice height.
    • Hey all, a little help from the Stagea hive mind plz.. I'm days away from buying either a 2002 Stagea 250tRS AR-X Four, premium leather, power seats and all the old switches etc that go with it, or a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO, pov pack, cloth seats etc, with coil overs, sports zorst, comes with original zorst and suspension and parts. (I think I've got the models right?) Both are VQ25DET, have 160000kms, both straight no rust both with $2000+ in recent servicing receipts, both ride on aftermarket 18" rims. The Aero has a replaced turbo as well. I like the cool factor of the Aero car but the AR-X has never been modified. Neither have been driven hardly at all in the last 5 years. Any thoughts on which one or does it come down to personal preference? davemoto
