okay, well while working on my other car the other day, i parked my skyline outside in the rain, and the indicator under the two red lights filled with water,

luckily nothing shorted out or anything like that but i decided to take the tail lights out and have a squizzy at them (aswell as empty the water :(

10 mins later the tail lights were in the oven softening up the glue and soon after they were apart,

basically i think i can make my tail lights look very similar if not identical to the ones as pictured,

in the picture you can see the red lenses have been removed from the lights, i did that and underneath is clear lights, now if i get sum thing like even vht nightshade spray and spray the inside of the lights under neath it would look very similar to the ones pictured

a bit hard to explain but will report back and post pics in the next day or so :D

80 100 ish mark

it takes about 8 minutes to heat up

ALL you're trying to do is warm up the particles in the glue, this will make it go back to being tacky and maluable thus allowing the parts to become seperate

200 degrees is just stupid, you don't use a shotgun to change the TV chanel, same as you don't use 200degrees of heat to warm up sealant glue!

i dont use an air rifle to change the tv channel wither... i use a remote...

all im saying is that 200 ambient heat for 5 minutes worked for me... but my lights dont fit in my oven with it being shut... forgot that...

so... what kind of gun do you change the channel with? :)

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      By PranK · Posted

      Yeah the issue here is that we have a lot of topics, unless we matched on the exact word & phrase we'd get a million topics and the one you want will not likely be in the top 20 or so.

      Yeah great idea, I have already added R32 Wiring Diagram but we can add as many as we want. 100% ! This has been something I've wanted to do for a while. I thought we could have a way for people to 'suggest' a link be added to the library when they come across something good.  We could kick this along by allowing members (maybe a subset) to tag threads they find to allow us to more easily find/locate/use good content, ie a tag 'for-library' which can then be added to the library and maybe have the tags reviewed and updated to better match the content. This would make it easier then to find the content when not using the library. We can also create pages that have lists of content with specific tags. That would allow us to add a tag and then have it automatically added to a page. We could have a page just for the 'for-library' content that we could then moderate and put wherever.  This excites me, the lack of structure with the amount of content is a little overwhelming.

      RB25DET Engine Oil Dipstick Length

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Of course you can. That was a waste. Straight down one oil drain gallery and out the sump hole. Could at least have run the engine a little (obviously with at least minimum oil level on the stick).

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By PranK · Posted

      Oh really? Maybe I'm being silly. I'll get some more shots. I had it higher but found that it went too high after a drive, I never knew this but exhausts can move around a bit when hot (makes sense, just never knew) and when it was higher it would make nice cooking plastic smells. That said, I could put some heat tape on a'la 90's R33 exhausts     Ha, I've spent a lot of my life in castle hill waiting for cars to be done. I think I'd prefer something closer but thanks D.

      RB25DET Engine Oil Dipstick Length

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      @Duncan Yes, changed filter every time. I don't have the service manual for the car yet (Car was imported and they removed everything when importing). I've been using the oil change threads in the forum as reference.   @Milkmun The second oil change was after ~4 months after the first months and I wasn't sure about reusing engine oil that was opened. The third oil change happened within 3 weeks of the second oil change and I used the previous leftover oil to just "clean up" the system. (Poured it through while the sump plug was open")
