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.

000_0313.jpg

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!

000_0322.jpg

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...

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
