R32 Clear Indicators?

[mazgtr]

I searched the site and found several thousand results, but not a simple explanation.

Ive seen a couple of R32 GTR's with the front corner indicators (next to the headlights) clear instead of the usual amber. Just curious wether you can buy these, make them and who you have to sleep with in order to find out. Also are they still legal in NSW?

Cheers boys....

I've got these on my car. I'd consider a swap + a little cash adjustment for them?

Really? Why not?

because they sit in different brackets, are of different dimensions and mount up to different guards.

ie. they're not the same.

GTR indicators have a single piece moulded plastic cover, this was only available in orange from factory. Aftermarket clear ones are simply a clear version of this cover.

GTSt indicators were initially sold in clear with an orange bubble (ie a 2 piece cover), then in the second series R32, both pieces were made orange, so that they looked like the GTR ones. You can buy aftermarket ones that have both pieces clear, or buy a series 1 indicator and smash out the orange inside part and make yourself a clear indicator on the cheap... although the small bubble will still be orange.

Gtr ones have a different shape to match the fatter guards on the gtr

Tools required:

Dremel

Hot Glue Gun

Clear plastic from an office Fluro tube cover (steal one if you have to)

Stock Indicator covers

How to DIY your own Clear Indicator Cover:

-Remove stock indicator cover and take to a new clean work bench.

-Use dremel to remove the crappy orange coloured cover of the original light.

-Now, with a clean lower bracket, you can measure the clear fluro cover.

-Using a dremel on the cover, cut a section to cover exactly the section that you have removed the coloured cover from

-Meassure the inside of the clear, and cut this out as well (the first section is for a spacer to make room for the globe).

-Once the lower section is made, glue it flat section down to the indicator light.

-At this point, test-insert the globe and make sure there is clearance, if not, do this process again to give you more clearence.

-If you have clearence, then the next section of clear plastic you dremel-cut will be dimple's down, and will need to meet with the section/sections already glued on the indicator light, then cut with dremel and hot glue-gun this down as well.

Allow time to set, then fit the globe, re-install and repeat for the other side.

I have seen this done on a Toyota Soarer and it looks the goods, also complimented with Phillips clear/silver look organge indicator globes, as they turn clear/silver when not illuminated.

So if you cant find your own clear-cover indicator lights, make your own

that's great... as long as you don't have a GTR GTR indicators are single piece moulded plastic, and they're different in shape and fitment to GTS/GTSt ones which you can mod the way you've described.
