yeah i just got a soft cloth and rubbed a bit it, tries to wipe it off but it was a bit difficult so i just used a wet cloth and then just dried it off afterwards, came up good i rekon.

predator666:

you get to the bulbs from your engine bay, there is a cover that you just give a half turn to and it gives you access to the globes, have a look and twist the cover of, it should all be pretty self explainitory from there, globes range in price, depending on if you want just normal ones or pretty blue ones, hahaha :P

R33_Cam: thanx but, err, yeah, i know how to do that.. I wanna know how i can pull the whole front lens off the rest of the assembly to clean. Sounds like other people have done it.

There are some clips, but i've removed them, and it doesn't come off.

Meguires Mirror Glaze Clear Plastic Polish - works best - takes it off easily and it doesnt build up again for a while after. Bought it in K-Mart auto but anywhere that sells Meguires should stock it - from memory its not terribly expensive either. Haha i saw that a lot of the cars had frosty lights at the last cruise and quite a few ppl asked me what i used.

If u ever wana get em off put em in the oven for a few min without letting them melt till the goo stuff goes soft n rip em apart

then jam it back together and put it back in for another few to hardend the goo again

werkd for me

but dont try it if u dont trust ureself :(

I hit mine with cutting compound, works a treat.

Don't bother doing it by hand as it wont last long.

I had a friend do it with a very fine polish/cut compound, worked but did not last.

This time I insisted he use the hardest cutting compound he had.

Have a real close look the plastic is very thick.

I also replaced my bulbs with Phillips Opti blue, about $80 a set including parkers.

I found that when I pulled the parkers out they were stuffed and just crumbled in my hand.

Have the problem where I have had condensation on the inside of my lights leaving nice dirty streaks inside... so mine will be going in the oven soon.

Some ppl's lights look really clean but at night u can tell if they have had the inside done too, as heaps i have seen have the same streaks.

My soarer came in and the plastic had almost gone pearly. Had some old kitten cut & polish in a tin at home and it made a huge diff. Finished off with meguires plastic polish

The parking/side lights come out from behind the headlight - the same as the low/high beams... you put your hand in there (hope you dont have big hands) and very akwardly twist it about 1/4 turn, and it comes out, you put your new globe in, and put it back in, with a 1/4 turn and done :D

takes a bit of patients and a few cramps in the hand from the akward angles :D

    • Nissan/Pitwork is fine stuff. HKS is just marketing wank. I personally wouldn't do the idler if it is already new. If it looks and feels fine, it is fine. But as D says - it's cheap to add it to the job. The water pump ditto. Even more so. If it show no signs of problems, then it is nearly new - leave it.
    • 1. I can't see a location on your profile but you do mention GBP so I'll assume you are in UK. In Australia, CBC make a timing belt kit with the gears and idler and tension bearing and that is what I use without any problems. I'm sure OEM or HKS are also fine but I wouldn't pay extra for HKS over anything else. 2. Yes, I would always change the idler and tensioner and the stud and bolt that hold them in. Assuming they were all done last time it is highly unlikely you would have a problem, but they are very cheap to add to the job considering the time it will take anyway.  3. No, you don't need to lock them as such (I think that is more for engines without timing marks), but you should make sure they move as little as possible once the belt is off as you can hit pistons on valves if they move too far. As always, make sure you line it all up to top dead centre with the timing marks aligned before you take the old belt off.

    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
