I've just got a quick query for you guys.
I noticed the other day, one of my front indicators is slightly cracked, and instead of going to Nissan to replace it with another orange one, do any of you know of any clear versions that would fit in? The orange on mine doesn't really go with the paint, and I think a mostly clear unit would look alot better.
Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Maybe the American spec. S14 came with clear ones as standard?

Clear here (1995 LE). Source them from a US or Canadian dealership.

Quite strange. I'll have to enquire with some US dealers.
As far as indicators go, there seems to be quite a difference between the US spec S14 and the Japanese one. The US cars seem to come with clear front, but orange side markers on the bumper, whereas I've got orange front and another indicator on the front fender in front of the door and nothing on the side of the bumper.
Ya learn something new everyday.
Thanks guys.

Lol yeah they're glass. But somehow that doesn't sound like a fair swap :wink:

I know I'm a few days late on this. . but. . important note. .
If you have a grey market silvia, the north american ones will not fit. . EXACT same bumper on Zenki, but shorter signals. . why? I have no idea. .
If you have a new to NZ (or Aust.) 200sx, they should be the same size. .
If your car is a Silvia, pick up some dspeed ones or somethin'. . . don't look too bad.
btw. . I'm not FOR SURE that NZ 200sx and OZ 200sx is the same. . but I'd ASSUME it is. . (hopefully when I head down to NZ next year I'll get to test drive one haha)

I've been through this alot... here's the FACTS.
1. USDM S14 Zenki Bumper Clears do NOT fit other international models of the same year.
2. USDM S14 Zenki and Kouki Bumper Clears are the exact same things, they fit all international S14a's (97-98).
The USDM S14 Zenki Clears are longer than the non-US versions

They fit the 200sx, however. . can't speak for Zenki, but they do fit Kouki. .

Good choice! But if/when you do move here, try to aviod the grey Japanese imports. A large percentage of them are dodgy to say the least. Generally, unless you import something yourself, NZ New is always the safest way to buy. My parents got bitten once before, and my whole family learnt from that lesson.

ewwww. . that sucks. . . what kinda problems would you expect from a grey market?
Probably could get a grey market that's already been owned by someone else in NZ for a couple of years . . haha :D maybe they'll work out the bugs ...

Usually the grey market cars have been pretty hammered. It's not unusual to find quite a bit of rust in some of them, and I'm always seeing them blowing out smoke all over the place. There is also quite a big problem with the mileage being wound back on alot of them. Plus the NZ new 200SX's look better than the Japanese Spec. Silvias anyway, especially the back bumper. The Silvias have just a straight painted rear bumper, where as the 200SX has some plastic around the number plate, which takes away that boring edge to it. Japanese Spec. Silvias are cheaper though, but not overly. They mostly go for maybe $3k NZD less than the NZ new cars, and the NZ new cars are usually always in far better condition like mine that I got reciently, where the engine bay looked new in an eight year old car!

ewwww . . . man that sux lol. . but, fortunately you have an actual SR powered S14. . haha, and I agree with the rear bumper. . I MUCH prefer the rear fog light trim piece around the back. . . the US spec S14s have the same bumper as in the zenki Silvias of Japan (bumper redesigned for MCS14, as you probably know. . ) .. I always kinda wanted to put the 200sx piece on there (I got it for free from a friend, actually lol). . . but uhm. . US plates are same size as japanese plates, but a bit shorter. .
