Hi guys,

A newbie question, I noticed that some R32's have indicator lights just above the GT badge on the side of the car and some don't. Why is that? Can anybody shed some light on the matter?

I hope to own one soon hopefully & would appreciate any answers, Cheers =)

Depended on the comply company's interperpretation of the rule.

Indicator has to be visible from the side at some specified angle of view.

Easiest fix was to fit a side mounted indicator.

Then it was argued by some, that the existing front indicator was already visible from the side and it complied.

Got to love all the rules.

Same thinking behind the extra bumper-bar mounted stop/tails on Patrols etc which have the spare partially hiding the factory items when viewed from certain angles.

Or cutting some of the Skyline's and Aristo's etc tail light wiring so that only 2 out of 4 work.

Remember how magnified rear view mirror glasses had to be replaced by flat glass in those days too. Now even Commos have the left mirror with magnification from factory.

    • That's a given!  Bit hard to powdercoat it properly without removing them! 😁
    • No detail on compressor or turbine sizes, which doesn't help with housing size selection with that kit. However, from SR20DET mucking about and money torching perspective, a GTX2860R Gen 2 w/ 0.64 (46mm inducer) will do ~260kW on E85 about 1.5bar of boost. All in before 3000pm, which cause a gearbox to shatter. Now imagine the same turbo, on a modern motor with an extra 0.5L of displacement, and heaps of cam timing adjustability (not an on/off affair like the Nissan shit boxes). If this was my car (which I would never own or consider buying, ever!), I would go for a nice twin scroll setup, and a G30-660. Gates plumbed back, no silly shit. Lean on the cam timing, big displacement to create a flat-ish torque curve.  
    • Do you plan on using 98 or e85?
    • This should be pretty easy. 200rwkW is just about the max power out of an RB25 stock turbo. So, 12ish psi on a 2.5L. That boost limited mainly by the prospect of seeing the turbine in the cat after the smoke show. A steel wheeled equivalent would likely happily do ~220rwkW at something like 17 psi, where it would probably be bumping into the usual limits of such a sized turbo. These things have like a .48 rear. You will not need the 0.86 rear. The 0.64 will be fine. In fact, if you were looking at various mid-200rwkW options for RBs, most of them would be in a 0.64 rear. So, I think you will definitely want to be no bigger than that for a same sized but probably even more efficient (at making power) modern engine.
