I believe you simply wrap a flat head screw driver in some a rag and just press on the edge closest to the centre of the car, gently pushing outwards and it should just pop out, or it could be from the outside edge toward the centre of the car, one of the 2, give it a go ;)

Yeah, I had trouble undoing mine when I took the front bar off, since I wasn't changing the indicators, I just unplugged them from the back.

But I heard they need a bit of force to get them out

IMO best way is to reach in behind. You will feel the two steel clips that hold them in place. Simply squeeze, and push forward. I used a butterknife, but found this a bad way to do it, and resorted to my hands. No tools required

Once you get it down pat, you will be glad to know not everyone knows how simple it is... otherwise im sure the nismo clear ones I put in wouldnt have last long around down :P

+1 did da same thing wrap a flat head screw driver with sticky tape and just stick the screw driving on the edge and it will eventually pop out..be careful not to scratch ur paint..i almost did my one..

yeah I was afraid of scratching. easy as shit way to get them out is as follows.

1. jack up the side of the indicator your taking out to make access easier if your cars lowered.

2.undo the plastic underpanel.

3. reach up behind the bar and unplug the indicators.

4. feel for the steel clips that hold the indicators in place.

5. squeeze them and push forward.

no paint scratches.

no frustration.

easiest way imo.

It took me 10 sec to do it this way. I just made sure that head of the screwdriver was pressed against the side of the indicator with my other hand and NOT levered against the bar at all. :banana:

Weakling Terry :D

I just stick my arm up one of the front vents (love the GTR bar) and squeeze the clips with my fingers.. Just remember to undo the globe or u feel like an idiot afterwards when it gets stuck as u pull it out haha

Anyone know how to do this with the stock series 1 front bar? The right side was easy, but I can't reach behind on the left side cos of the oil cooler vent D:

I tried using the screwdriver but it's not popping out. It's f**king shitting me! :blink:

i also need an answer for this, as well as how to get the side indicators off.

thanks guys

The front indicator lugs are at the sides (not top or bottom), and they can collect dirt. I'd spray some 'Tar 'n Bug' Remover to loosen any gunk around those lugs > try with the screwdriver again as above.

The driver's side indicator is removed with a screwdriver too. You stand next to the driver's door and use the flat head screwdriver at the edge of the indicator and push towards the front. It's springy and it'll pop out.

The passenger side indicator is removed by standing next to your front wheel. Use the screwdriver on the edge of the indicator and push it towards the rear.

Hope this helps...

cheers it does.. do you push 'under' the rubber grommet thing?

thanks

No, you'll scratch the paint that way. You push against the hard plastic lens edge.

You wouldn't want to damage the rubber gasket seal lest you let water condensation get in later on.

righto, i'll give that a try later, why do they make it so difficult :) i got some smoked indicators off ebay, look pretty good, cant wait to get them in but the seller forgot to ship with the side indicator bulbs.. would you happen to know what size they are and roughly how much? (if theyre cheap i'll just get some locally)

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Add to this... What blew the fuse too? If a circuit feeding power to the coils was blown, how were the coils even functioning to let the car start?   There is some seriously wrong wiring in that car for certain, and I'm betting there is some melted cables somewhere, but I can't explain the 30v either, unless there is something back feeding on that power line that has a dodgy power system and the electronics are giving it hell.

      This is typically the case with such threads. What I cannot quite get my head around is where a reading above 12V (or 13.8 or 14.x or whatever the maximum achievable voltage might actually be in that specific car) comes from. 25V or 30V should be completely impossible. There's no way to create it. Hard to answer that question. It will literally depend on whether the current tune relies on the values as set. I'd guess it probably does. ie, the real base pressure being 49 means that the flowrate through the injectors will be higher than if it was 43.5. The Haltech's modelling should be handling that, but because it thinks the pressure is only 43.5, then..... I dunno. It should be thinking that it will be injecting less fuel with each pulse duration than is actually happening. So, something is definitely not-as-it-should-be, but specifically what that is is beyond my abilities to imagine. Someone like Dose who spends more time with Haltechs might have a better thought.

      Bit of a late reply here as me and my wife have been really busy with new born twins. I finally got these issues fixed and it was something really stupid that caused all of this 🤦‍♂️... After alot of mucking around with trying to figure out what is causing these issues, I back probed one of the R35 coils on the power 12v supply, with the engine running it got 25v! And I thought, hang on..., this isn't normal. Measured my battery with the engine running to check for over charge from the alternator and it wasn't that. So then I dissconnected the R35 PRP coil harness and backprobed the power supply on the engine loom where the ignition coil harness connects, with the key on ignition (engine off) it measured 30v! So then I had to trace where that high voltage was coming from and it lead me to the brown relay "ECM & IGN coil relay" inside the cabin next to the ECU on the passanger wall. This relay feeds power to the ECM and ignition coils. Tried swapping it with another same relay. nah still 30v.. coming from the 2 green/white wires in the brown relay. So then I set my multi meter to the beep continuity mode and probed every fuse on the fuse box inside the cabin to try and find this high voltage power source. Wasn't any of the fuses inside the cabin. Then probed all the fuses in the engine bay and BAM, got my power source that was a 10AMP fuse called "ENG CONT". Pulled the fuse out, and what do you know... it was blown. 🤦‍♂️  So then I quickly replaced it with a new 10AMP fuse, started the car and yeah haha [insert extreme face palm]... The RPM blimping thing went away, car idles smoothly now like what it was before. I swear! I checked all my fuses with my test light twice before I created this forum thread. I think, maybe because one side of that faulty 10A fuse lit up on my test light, I must have thought it was still ok and not blown. But now I know to have both sides light up on the test light when checking fuses... I hate diagnosing electricals.... I'd take mechanical problems over electrical problems any day🤣. Drove the car around my suburb with the engine up to operating temp and it runs fine like before. However, I notice that my fuel pressure is still at 49psi. So I'm thinking this must be normal for my system as I've upgraded the stock fuel pump to a Walbro 255L/h with a constant 12v mod.  But anyway, I'm just glad to have my daily back on the road! Thanks everyone for the replies on this thread, all sorted now! One thing I want to ask you tuner guys, my base fuel pressure on the haltech main settings are set to 43.5psi from default (my tuner must have not checked the fuel pressure maybe when tuning my car?). Do I set it to what it actually is idling on at 49psi? Or just leave it ("if it aint broke, don't fix it/leave it")?

      That cannot have been a fun set of drilling. The stock "baffle" looks identical to rb26, I just cut fuel cell foam to fit the full length under the baffle.
