Smoked R33 Gtr Side And Front Indicators.

[Spunky Munky]

Hi fellas,

I am after some smoked R33 GTR side and front indicators.

I found some smoked side indicators on Ebay from JDM Concepts for $105 posted (which is bargain in my opinion) but cannot find any smoked round indicators for the R33 GTR/Nismo 400R front bar.

I think it would look wicked for all indicators are clear and smoked not the old orange ones.

AND, should I also go smoked lights all around INCLUDING the rear lights?

PS: as a side question, is it hard to change R33 GTR side indicators? Do the guards need to be removed in order for this to happen?

If they're changed the same way as the gtst then they can be changed with the fender on the car.

I wouldn't go for those rear lamps, I don't like them but I guess it's personal opinion

thanks mate ... Got these already but am after front smoked indicators now.

no worries, only other thing i can think of is..(dont know if this is possible, jsut thinking outloud) buying a clear set, heating them partially the same way people do to take apart headlights for projector conversion, then spraying the inside of the lense with that DIY lens smoking stuff in spray cans they sell at autobarn etc...

thanks mate ... Got these already but am after front smoked indicators now.

please dont get those rear smoked lights!

If nismo make them I can go order a set as Nismo shop is 5mins from my place here in jappa but they could be costly!!

Please dont get the smoked rear! My mate had them on his 34, and it looked like absolute shit. Got stickered within a week. The standard ones look much better anyway. Although standard coloured LED tail lights look the best imo.

Thanks mate...not going to get rears...looks like shit indeed! LOL

I think the stock rear lights look best...hate LED ones....

But yeah, now that I know where to get smoked side ones....in need of front ones now!

That's awesome...but they still don't look smoked...I'm after a unique look...have never seen smoked front indicators...these ones look more like clear ones.

Thanks champ...is this possible? So you think just get clear ones and then get a spray can and spray the lens? Never heard of a smoking-type spray can...do you have any more details?

[elrodeo666]

Yeah mate they are clear ones, I just chucked the pic up so you knew it was genuine Nismo shop !!!

My mistake. But if its a genuine Nismo part, then ordering them is piece of p#ss !!

it would very much depend on how the body of the indicator is made. you know how headlights have the front flat bit and then the main body, and they are joined together with a kind of glue that can be heated and prised apart.. well if indicator body was one piece i tihnk youd be stuffed but if its two piece why wouldnt the same process ppl use on headlights work.. as for the spray stuff i remember it being for sale in autobarn or super cheap auto. described on the directions to apply more layers dependign on how dark you want the smoke effect

so i jsut googled. VHT nightshade is waht im talkign about. 13 bucks a can or so from autobarn.

can anyone shed any light (no pun intended) on the design of the body of the indicators spunky munky is lookign at?? one or two piece?

The same mate with the tinted tail lights also tinted his standard front lights. Looked really good considering he did it with them on the car, 3 days after it was painted, 2 hours before the Perth Auto Salon... Looked very smoked when off, and obviously orange when on. He also took the car over the pits 3 times like that, and passed everytime.

Would you have any pictures or anything of this? Sounds exactly like what I want to achieve.

Considering that genuine Nismo head lights/indicators cost over $300 combined - I'd be really careful when doing this.

Thanks all.

Hey mate, i know what you want to do..

There is a way in which I have done it and works fantastic..

Find a spray painter mate, and spray your lights in a light coat of HOK candy black. When its applied to clear items, ie tailights and headlights, it becomes transclucent and looks f**ken insane..

My mate did it to all his lights on his black VE-SS, and OMG looks fantastic, you;d just have to have clear indicators to start with or you will have silly looking orange smokes indicators!

Goodluck!

Wow, sounds easy...how many coats of this paint should I apply? I would have guess, about two coats as more it would be too dark?

Would you have any pictures?

Thanks.

Wow that's tough...this is exactly what I want...so you think just go to Autobarn and buy a spray can of smokey paint? I'm so bad with spray painting - does anyone (with a little experience) want to help me here?

Thanks all...but this is what I want...

[Spunky Munky]

Ok, so I've bought myself a set of Nismo side and front indicators...cost me over $240. The side ones are already smoked (so I will leave them) - the front ones are just clear...I've been to Autobarn and they actually sell "smoking spray paint."

They say if I spray like 5mm away and do it gently, 2 coats should do the trick they'll last like forever...however, I'm just a bit hesitant as I do not want to stuff up my front indicators that cost like $170 a set. So can anyone please give me some tips in regard to spraying?

Thanks.
