Adr Approved - Is It Important?

Slowly going about modding the 260RS. Little things along the way of building my dream vehicle, and I decide that the orange side blinkers have to go.

So I decide that I'll go with a nice set of Nismo smoked colour side indicators. Long story short, I was told that as far as mods go, I could choose between orange or clear Nismo side indicators, and the smoked colour version was NOT ADR approved.

Is this a big thing? I mean this ADR business. Do the colour of the side indicators matter? If I go with smoked, what can happen? I've tried some online searching and it all seems a little vague. Plenty of people are using smoked colour indicators without getting done by the cops. Yet it is stated that it does not meet ADR approval.

Really want the smoked indicators, but am a little iffy about this ADR approved business ....

Your thoughts?

just get the clear ones, i think they look better on a silver car than the smoked ones anyway.

i regards to ADR approved items, obviously the more ADR legit things you put on your car the less trouble you can get in with the authorities, be it the cops, department of transport or your insurance company. i'd start buy getting into contact with the department of transport in your state and getting a real answer on if you can have them or not.

indicators must show orange when operated, which is why factory are tinted orange and clear ones use orange globes. the smoked ones are forwned upon because they reduce the orange and brightness. smoked look pretty average anyway - go clear

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
