Indicators

[SUITUP]

hi guys

i just need some advice in changing both indicators on the front guards and under the headlights possibly from orange to white (clear)....

How much do they usually cost?

Where's a good place to get them?

Do i need to get someone to install it or can it be a DIY job?

any input would be much appreciated.

thanks

Hi Marco,

Doing a quick search will bring up all the info you need as this has been covered a few times,

FYI,

You can usually get the fronts for $150-200 and the sides for $80-150 depending on where you buy them from. I bought nismo smoked indicators for my 34, front and sides, from www.perfectrun.jp (they also stock the clear ones)

Decent delivery time and were the cheapest i found for the Nismo indicators.

I think it cost me around $250 ish all up as i also bought other parts at the same time to save on shipping.

It's definatly a DIY job, they are a piece of cake to change.

The side indicators you simply put some pressure on from the left side (i think it was the left, if it doesnt work just try the right side) and just wedge it out, undo the plug and slot the new one in in reverse.

The fronts i would recommend removing the front bar to replace, you can do it without it, but im not keen on doing it that way, undo all of the bolts under the front bar holding on the diffuser panels.

Pull back the wheel arch plastic/mud guards and there is a bolt on either side holding the front bar up, undo those, and then undo the clips on the top of the front bar under the bonnet and it should come off no problems, then you can clearly see the wiring plug running to each indicator, un clip the plugs, and then remove the front bar completely.

Then just squeeze together the metal clips on the backs of the indicators and they should pop out, do this all in reverse to put the new ones in.

Job done!

If not perfect run, as Stephen suggested, try e-bay or since you're in Sydney, Just Jap. Darron at Just Jap will give a discount to SAU members.

Driver's side indicator:- Standing next to your door, use a screwdriver at the edge of the indicator and push forward towards the front > pops out.

Passenger side indicator:- Standing next to your wheel, use a screwdriver at the leading edge of the indicator and push rearwards > pops out.

Front indicators:- Use a rag over the head of the screwdriver > insert on the FMIC side of the indicator (without having to touch the paintwork), and use the other hand to push the flat side of the head of the screwdriver towards the side > the lug of the indicator goes in > indicator pops out.

Hmmm I found at Just Jap they are a tad expensive, JDMConcept do:

Nismo - Front Smoked Indicators - $160

Nismo - Side Smoked Indicators - $85

compared to $239 and $119 respectively as advertised on the just jap site, or whatever it will be as a discount.

of course i want it in white color tho.

hmm abit less work for the front installation Terry wasnt keen on taking the front bar off ..

cheers i shall do some bargaining and tell u's how it goes

thanks

Check with Nisswreck in SA and Toy Shop on Central coast too perhaps.

You might get lucky finding a car that's been rear-ended. Always cheaper at a wrecker.
