my headlight indicators seem really dull

the glass was pretty murky, so i gave them a polish

much cleaner looking, but unless it's night time or an overcast day the actual indication is almost invisible

- so, i guess it's also kinda dangerous

had a few people pulling angry tard faces at me recently because "i wasn't indicating" so i was wondering is you guys had any ideas what the issue may be?

...bad wiring?

...time for new light units?

...is it maybe possible to install some indicators on my frontbar?

BTW:

don't mean to cover old ground

i have read quite a few topics already up, but unhappy with info found

Just buy LED Orange Indicator bulbs, should shine straight through the cover, even if it is Dull, best way to go I reckon..instead of spending heaps on modifying your front bar to fit indicators..just spend $7 for the bulbs..

whilst we are on the topic of r33 headlights...

i bought some bulbs from supercheap auto and im getting complaints from ross that they are way too bright when im driving behind him.

they are 55W bulbs - what is the W that an R33 is supposed to have?

they are the white- looking lights.. i forget the brand name n stuff, but i still have the box in the car.

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I have an Elite 2500, honestly most of this has been a lot of smaller tasks chasing little details and a whole lot of life getting in the way of bigger projects. I don't mind too much looking at a spectrograph vs having audio knock ears.

      Nah nah nah nah. Don't do it. It's not all about the full throttle power delivery. The main "street fun" and drivability gains from smaller rear (in this case) is how you will have boost available from a low rpm when yo just roll onto the throttle. Think jinking in and out of traffic, coming out of roundabouts, etc etc, where you just want to roll onto the throttle a little and have the spooly noise from ~2000rpm and a swell of torque. More of what you've already achieved by going to 2.5. And then, towards the tail end of 2025 you can pull the turbo 4 out and put in a V8 like we originally suggested. :P

      Cheers for the info mate, I'm old too, 60 years old next May, so a more linear delivery of the 0.86 would be better as baking tyres and snapping heads isn't on the cards for me or the car I assume a more linear power delivery would be better for engine and drivetrain reliability as well, IRT the torque load at lower RPM???, as well as lower EGT's???, if my understanding of that is correct, have I got that right??? I've only got a really basic understanding of turbo sizing and all there characteristics  Cheers for the useful information

      What kind of power delivery are you after? If it's nice and linear, the 0.86 would be better. If you're after bake tyres and head snaps on boost the 0.64 would be fun. I'm boring and old, so linear power is preferred. Lately I've been watching videos on Z06 Corvettes and super charged Mustangs....
