I've got a bit of a niggling issue with the rear indicator lense on my R-33. As you can see from the photo attached they are full of dirt and shit and they leak water slightly, it was like this when I bought it, I have tried removing them but can't seem to get it and I'm a bit scared to force it because I will probably break it. I can get the whole tail-light assembly out fine but does anyone know how to get the indicator lense off so I can get all the dirt out and reseal it properly?

Resealing shouldn't be much of an issue, my problem is getting the dirt and mess that's already got in there out, by completely removing the indicator cover. That's where my problem is...

Oh okay, I didn't realise you were talking about taking the dirt out of the indicator part only. I would've thought that the whole light will come out, but I'll leave this to someone who's done this before to answer.

The light assembly is held in by a few screws, they aren't an issue. Sealing and REALLY holding the tail light in is silicon, you need to scrape it out.

Once thats all done, gently knock the central supporting bolt with a mallet to loosen it up. It should be out after that.

I tried, it's hard and a real b**ch.

I'll try and find the link.

EDIT: sorry just read the end of the first post. I don't know how to get the indicator out.

    • Well, no. It's an 023, which is pretty similar to an 040. Although it is hard to tell from the specs, as given.
    • Hmm. Maybe the (other thing I forgot about!) Haltech removes at least some, if not all, of the problem I described. I guess there is still the possibility of getting it wrong if the AC is set up/wired up for the Haltech as if it was in an R34 (simply because it's on a Neo), and that's playing foul with the R32 AC computer.
    • Glad it eventually came out Duncan!   I believe that might be 040. 044 is the inline pump, so has screw fittings in and out. 040 is more just drop it in fuel and the bottom is "open" (mesh) from my memory 
    • well mate, while I hear your pain, turns out I don't feel it this time! Must have been a bastard of a job crammed into the boot The tank was very empty (probably pumped out, not dropped and drained because there were some fumes still) and in very good condition internally. I'm sure he never ran e85 in it I don't know what the hell Nissan's fuel tank engineers were thinking about their clipping system, this hanger was really hard to get moving but came out in the end All looks very good (as I'm starting to hopefully expect) and Matty was right it is an 023 (044) bosch which should be plenty for the injectors and turbo
