I soon have to pass initial inspection (rego) and they check for functioning parking lights as well as indicators. As I understand it, the R33 in general has 1 indicator light at the front of the bumper, one on the side of the front fender, and 1 parking light inside the edge of the headlight.  I am running an S-Roc Greddy front bumper which came without any indicator facets and I am reluctant to gluing on LED strips or drilling holes.

My other car has a very similar headlight design, but the corner parking light is a dual filament bulb which glows dimly at all times but when you use an indicator, it starts blinking with it more brightly.  Could I take that same setup and apply it to the R33? I could find a socket with 3 wires (two signals and 1 ground), then use the same 21/5w bulb. Then splice the fender indicator signal wire to 1 wire on the socket, splice the other signal wire to the one for the parking light, and connect both ground wires to the third wire on the socket.  Would this work?

Actually I do not know and cannot find a regulations sheet anywhere. I'm more worried about whether people infront of me would be able to see whether I'm indicating left or right, and I assume not since right now the only indicator is on the side fenders.

Update on this. I didn't chase the dual filament bulb idea simply because after looking more closely at it, it was way too big to fit inside the parker light section. I also didn't want to cut the housing and add another light source near the parker. So I used the GTR surround CAD file I had designed and slightly modified it to fit a Micra K11 indicator (the one on their fender). It uses a 5 Watt bulb so now the dilemma  was fixing the quickly flashing relay. This was easily remedied by buying a plug-in 3 pin relay which has a  knob to control the pulse, cost me $5. It goes in the place of the factory relay under the steering wheel.

The indicators now all blink properly and even though this Micra indicator is a tad smaller than the GTR one, I find it sits more neatly in my custom surrounds and should be more than enough for tech inspection and letting other see my intentions on the road!

    • UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their reliability is proven, performance can be predictable, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!  
    • I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end
    • I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
    • Wasn't there a thread on this very subject just a few weeks ago?
    • Hi all! Looking to relocate the battery to the trunk of an R34 GTT. I want to do it using as many stock GTR components as I can (including the harness protectors from the 34 GTR that run underneath along the chassis to the engine bay). So far I’ve purchased the battery tray from a 33 GTR, as the captive weld nuts are already there just asking to be used. There is also the slight issue of now having to relocate the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU, which in GTT’s sits right above where the battery will then sit on the tray. Has anyone already achieved this, and if you have any pics that you wouldn’t mind sharing? It would be great to see how others have done it and where you put them, as there are countless holes in the parcel shelf panel to potentially use. Just trying to get some ideas bounced around, and to help uncover any potential problems I may encounter by  my choice of location. TIA for any help!
