Hey guys,

i have a R33 with a Aftermarket Front Bumper and i want to move my indicators as where they are now is not ideal / look out of place.

my idea is to rewire the parkers and make that the indicators and get a dual filament bulb for parkers / headlights.

my question is, can you get such a bulb for an r33 and if so where?

ill take a pic of my bumper today and upload tonight (as i'm at work) so you can see what i'm talking about.

Thanks in Advance,

Tim

Here is a pic of what the setup looks like now

you can see why i want to get rid of them little squares, just dont look right.

Maybe i can get a bulb that can be used for Low / High beam and the low beam would become the parker and parker becomes indicator..

anyone else have any input?

Cheers,

Tim

seems like thats my only option until that time comes around then ill just put the shitty indicators back on.

Unless someone knows of the bulb i need and knows where i can find one for a car (ie a 33) :P

Obe - I have that very same bumper!! Hehehe, My indicators were in my parkers (orange T10) but they just weren't bright enough. I recently installed rounds ones where you have those square ones. They look ok, but still outta place. I'm now looking at installing a larger indicator globe into the parker. I think its the way to go. Like craved said, shouldn't cause any issues.

Off topic for a sec - Does ur bumper scratch on everything? :P

my car isnt lowered that much, but it scrapes if you go 2 fast in obvious places :P

yea seems the way to go, i had round ones also but they were really old and yellow, looked aweful.

tried the square ones out but even with clean ones still look out of place :)

there is my weekend project :)

As an interesting point, I bought a pair of S2 headlights recently, and they have a single light for both high and low beam as well as built in indicators and parkers.

All factory mind you, apparently they're quite rare.

The globes are marked : H4U 12Volt 60/55W

They are def. dual filament globes.

Have you got any pictures of what the bulb holder looks like?

Wondering if the bulb holder could be purchased and retro-fitted into a standard Series II headlight assembly?

      You have (externally anyway) a lot of patience!  At the very least your patience has rewarded you financially even if you decided you were over it!! I only just read your first experience of seeing the car, that would have been amazing!  Well documented too! It must be exciting knowing there's only 10 months left until you can get it on a boat and on it's way!!!???

      Yeah, that's when. I guess you could say I'm as patient as I am foolish(or just a masochist?🤔). I've strongly considered throwing in the towel and calling it all quits many times, and have almost done so. It's a first-world problem for sure, but I've had a pretty rough go of it, as well as other factors; hoping something good comes of all this; it has to. It definitely is half the price of the ATS and performs great, but I'd like to try something different for once. I've sampled the ATS in a friend's 32 and it's solid👍

      I know mentally you're set on the ATS clutch but honestly I'm a big fan of the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin. It's much cheaper and in some ways I think it's a better design for a street/circuit car.

      Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.

      Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.
