I think most of the importers use the same small/fall to bits side markers when complied!

Well thats what i had anyway.. I decided to go the good old typeII comodore VT side repeaters! For the simple fact they are clear and look ight!

They cost me NEW from holden city $45 for the pair.

Things you will need!

Power drill + a 1\8 SHARP drill bit!

Masking tape.

some paint.

texter.

printer paper.

soldering iron.+solder, electrical tape!

asortment of files.

First thing to do is remove the stock crap side markers, just a quick turn should do the trick! cut off the wires , and tie a bit of string around the wire. T save time later.

My dad had his VS ute at home so i took his repeater out to make a template of the hole in his body work.

To make a template i placed a bit of printer paper over the hole and used a blade to cut out the hole!

I added the front so it didnt go in wrong!

Place the paper over the existing hole in your guard, and line up with with a rule, or even your eye! (but use a rule)

Mark out the hole with a texter(i used blue lol) and then remove paper..

Have a good look at the texter and make sure its nice and plumb with the car! Cause once cut , no turning back!

To be safe and to see the shape of the hole i used some masking tape to go around the lines!

This is the FUN part. Grap ya powre drill and a new sharp 1\8 drill but.. I chose to drill out the hole than use a nibbler or other tools that can damage the sourounding paint work!

BE VERY CAREFULL when drilling, use some specks and other safe stuff so you dont get hurt, lol.

Now what ya wanna do is, place the drill bit onto the edge of the masking tape, About half a mm from the edge of the tape. DONT push too hard, you dont want the drill running off the hole mark onto ya paint...

start drilling the holes as close as you can to the one b4 , being sure not to push too hard, it take about 10 min a side.. so take your time..

20 small holes should do it... once the scrap part in the middle falls out from all the holes, get to work with ya flat file,(hand smooth) to file the hole till it is flat on the masking tape!

once all smooth place in ya repeater to be sure it will fit.. if goes in with out a hitch move on to next stage.. If not file more off till goes in.

Grab some paint and a small brush and apply a small run of paint on bare metal,(dont want it to rust) unlike origanal hole :D

take off masking tape. and use your soldering iron to solder the blinker wires to your new blinker!

000_0322.jpg

Place new blinker in and test the light!

000_0323.jpg

now do the same thing to other side!

end result, better looking blinkers! :(

hey, was this done on a 32 gtst?, .. kezza, is that black 32b in your sig the end result of your clear blinkers?. any one know if any one has but 32gtst blinkers or gtr r33 blikners on a r33 gtst, due to the different light, one sticks out and smaller and r33gtst is in the guard and longer and crapper looking

yeah mate. its my black one in my sig! im not sure about the R33 side markers, i would just get a nice set of clear or smoked nismo markers mate... look alot better than orange stocko ones!

while ya haveing a look check out my GB im doing, this is the last gb for me!

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...id=2663196&

thanx kezza.. yeah, ima get some clear nismo blinkers, but i just do not like the gtst side blinkers hey. gtr33/32 have those niced small poped out blinkers, ima see if this can be done on a gtst 33. ill let everyone know if it can be done :laugh:

yeah, they look cheap, funny that all nissans now have the gtr style side blinkers, damn it!. but not gtst, cheap bastards. hehe.. ill see what i can do, and post up how to do it, i cant live with these style blinkers much longer. :thumbsup:

yeah cause they are resesed into the front guard and shit . It would make it hard to out in aftermakit ones in!

even worse they are real LONNNGGGG blinkers!

You could go to the extreem and get a set of the new holden vent\blinkers, cause that template would be bigger than the stock one!

worth a think about!

kezza

Yeh the clear ones are really good.........until some jealous person who wants them and has no idea how to get em out, puts a screw driver in the front an snaps them an marks you car at same time :) do look the part but :)

damn bastards!!. i belive some one would do that 2 blinkers.. if i was rich i would put trackers on all the parts that are easy to steal, them suprise them at there house one day and ask for the part back..hehe, would be sooo funny...

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
