Does anyone know where to get R33 series 2 front bar circular clear lens, so I can replace the circular orange lens with clear ones?

For the same reason people replace their winkers with Nismo clear ones, I think the circular orange lens on the front bar make it look outdated and ugly.

Has anyone done this?

www.kudosmotorsport.com.au sell them for $200. Theese are the cheapest I've been able to find but are still way over priced IMO.

I couldn't find them there. :(

I'm sure there are a couple of members on here who have tinted ones. Looks like sam5709 has them, or has them blocked off.

ok people this is how i did mine :)

i also hated the orange lens

what i did after trying some ideas was too buy some smoked acrylic sheeting

at first my idea was too just replace the orange lense with a clear one but after taking off the fog light cover it was apparent that they wernt the same, pic attached

i took the fog light cover off and ended up smashing out my orange lenses because they were glued on or sumthing lol i then cut the smoked acrylic sheeting into the same shape as the orange lenses, i then put them in place and used small screws and screwed them inplace, now there is no more orange lol

oh and if any of you have sent me a pm in the past and i didn't reply i apologize lol i get heaps quit a few pm's asking me how to do this that i loose tack :unsure:

here are some pics of how it turned out, although they arnt clear they are better then orange :)

Thanks Sam! I had no idea the clear and orange lens weren't the same.

A couple of questions though. Is removing an indicator legal? How are people from front on to know which way you are wanting to turn?

Secondly, do you think you could just use a really dark spray shadow tint on the orange to achieve somewhat desirable results?

Or what about some clear plastic cut and filed to size, shadow spray tinted, and then inserting an amber bulb? I'm sure you can get many variations in plastic texture, like that found on the original clear lens. Looking at that picture of the orange lens, you could cut a clear plastic circle, and then make the base and put them together.

I just don't know where to get some! Any ideas?

heya, yeh i forgot to add that i changed the bulbs to orange ones to keep it legal, actually one of them had an orange one in and the other one didnt lol

as for the shadow spray, yeh you could probably do that, i personally havnt given it that much thought as i am happy with the result for now :happy: lol

Where did you get this from?

Also, how effective are your front bar indicators now that you've done this? Is it just a small orange flash because you only have an orange bulb, or does the whole circle light up like it's supposed to?

lol i ended up getting this at the place i least expected, found out that "clark rubber" sold it, i think it was 10 bux a sheet and thats all i needed :P

id say you would be able to see the flash at about 90% as apposed to the 100% stock gave so it is still plenty visible :(

That would be awesome mate, it looks as if you've done somthing to your fog lamps as well? They dont look normal. Looks mean as anyways.

I went to a headlamp speacialist to get the clear lense removed without breaking it, and I have found a clear lense which will do the job, although I'm curious to see how you guys went about it, expecially PIG GTS, as I said, looks like you've done something different to yours that makes it look meaner...

Anxiously awaiting the tutorial!

Sorry to bring up a bit of an old thread. Does anyone have any updates to what they have done recently regarding the front indicators?

I have a spare set of front foglight/indicator assemblies and have wanted to do this for quite a while, but like people have said earlier the bloody foglight glass and indicator glass are different :rolleyes:

Do you think that if i took the glass to some specialist like a glass cutter or something, they could somehow cut the foglight glass and make it fit into the indicator?? Anyone done something like this??

Cheers guys

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!

      I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...

      Water leaking into the rear trunk

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.

      Would seem to me to be appropriate to go GTR style bar. There are options with and without N1 vent holes, with the GTR lower lip integral (because FG copy). https://justjap.com/search?q=r32 bumper
