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

    • My plan is to go the pink option. But still add the 4th fitting near the oil cap and just cap it off for now.  That way I can add 2 extra to the sump and have 4 dedicated breathers/drains if I ever remove the sump for any reason. 
    • Oh, yeah, look - here's the thing. You always replace the tensioner when you're going in there to replace a belt....under normal circumstances. You want to make sure it is good and safe, and that you don't create a reason to take the front of the bloody motor apart again. But in this case, OP is replacing a belt that has aged out on time, not usage. The belt is a million miles away from aging out on usage. The belt gets a time "limit" merely because it is made of rubber and can degrade naturally. The tensioner? Not so much. I reckon it could last forever on the current usage pattern. So I reckon if the thing is going to continue to get used at the same rate, replacing the tensioner is somewhat gratuitous. Would I replace it if I was doing it on my car right now? Hell yes. Because my car does 10-20 thousand kays a year. So it's all going to be the same thrashedness. Would I YOLO it on OP's car. More than likely.
    • I dunno. I think any one of those from each side to sump is probably enough. Remember - this is about creating a path for gas flow up from the sump to the cam covers. That gas flow then has to leave via the lines to the catch can. There's probably little point in providing 100% more capacity from sump up to covers cf. what you have from there to the catch can. Put in the 3 convenient ones? Any which way that you see fit. That'd be my thoughts.
    • Getting holes drilled into to cam covers and AN10 fitting welded on. My sump has 2x AN10 fittings on it already. These are the options I have come up with that can be done without needing to remove the sump to add more fittings. In all options front of passenger side cover connects to VCT head drain bung (i know this isn't the best spot but my feeling is it must do something). Option 1 (pink). The back of each cam covers gets its own line to sump. Option 2 (blue). The back of each cam covers are linked and share a line to sump. The front of drivers side gets its own line. Option 3 (Black). Drivers side are Tee'd together and share a line to the sump. Passenger side rear gets its one line to the sump.
    • I'd be surprised if Nissan doesn't mention it in the manual as it seems unlikely that a tensioner is going to last 200,000km.
