For those who have built Tamiya Z34 (370Z)
Guys, i'm working on a Z34 and a question came to my mind when i saw the decal sheet, it have a decal to reproduce this orange part on the right side
 The question is, what would you do/did use the decal or paint it with orange clear? What do you guys think? Thanks for helping me out. |

Re: For those who have built Tamiya Z34 (370Z)
Strange that they would use a decal for that. I presume this is the indicator? I would use clear orange.

The reason they included the decal is probably the awkward shape of the turn signal.

I also think the turn signal is the "boomerang" orange on the side. But I can be wrong, it's not really clear...

Re: For those who have built Tamiya Z34 (370Z)
The top light is the turn signal. The corner piece is just a clear orange reflector without a bulb.

Re: For those who have built Tamiya Z34 (370Z)
^ Like he said, the top is the signal bulb, the bottom right is the orange reflector.

Re: For those who have built Tamiya Z34 (370Z)
That's probably right, you don't seem to doubt of it, but in this case why do some videos visible on youtube not show it but show a white light coming from the top bulb as for road lights...?? are those lights all modified ones ? And where is the turn signal on those ones then...??

Re: For those who have built Tamiya Z34 (370Z)
the indicator is the part labelled.
the orange part on the side is an orange coloured reflector. i saw a headlight unit someone stripped down to do a little conversion of the reflector into a strip of leds. don't have a photo.

Re: For those who have built Tamiya Z34 (370Z)
Cris, I was refering to your linked video, which shows bluish light from the whole lightpod, but took a look again to the list of related videos on the right of it.
I found one with leds custom lightpods too but normal light and original top bulb... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4TLB...eature=related Modified lights but we clearly see at the end of the video that the top bulb stays the turn signal.

Re: For those who have built Tamiya Z34 (370Z)
Meh...
http://www.nissanextendedwarranty.co...Z-Roadster.pdf Go to page 367 in the file. The top light is the turn signal.
