Hey all, i was just wondering if its possible to change the parkers on the r33 headlights into indicators?

has anyone done it before or tryed as i have a 400r front bumper but it had foglights instead of indicators in the bumper, so now that im respraying it, im wondering weather i can change the parkers over, as its impossible to source/find some gtr front indicators in adelaide!

I assume its more than likely just cut some wires and put them together solder and change the bulbs, but wondering if its been done/is it effective?

Cheers

Aaron.

Hey mate,

i done it on my 33 GTR it was a while ago but im pretty sure the plug on the indicators plugs straight into the back of the headlights where your parkers go.

i deffinetly didn't cut any wires or anything. Not sure if a GTS-t is the same but if it is its an easy job

Hey mate! definately do-able, I have that setup on my r33 series 1. I too had the 400r fb with the indicators at the front but i thort it looked s**t, so moved them up to the parkers and installed angel eyes over the hi beam headlights as my parker lights, Looked the tits until the bals blew up! :(

Anyway i cut and soldered the wires to make it work. You will also need to get an orange globe otherwise your indicator is white. I suggest an led type would give you the best light. Also if the indicator is flashing to fast, i think it means you need a high watt globe.

I have heard that its meant to be illegal but i have had no issues in 5yrs!

thanks guys for all the replys, had a quick look and its sad to say not the same plug :/ but for the extra half hour cutting and redoing the wires is a small price to pay.

thanks all for the help and what youve done (and what the police havent done)

now the all important Q of what do i put where the indicators should be in the bumper ........

i did it a few years back and haven't looked back

cut the wires and re-threaded them to the parkers, then just used some slip on orange doovalackies over plain globes

    • careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?
    • OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
    • I’m thinking that’s the route I’ll  go, thanks for the input!
    • Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting
