Right Tail light & Indicators

[MirKz]

Hey all..

just wondering,

how the hell do u get the right tail lights and indicator setup on an R33 off ?

my right indicator cover (clear plasitc bit) is getting water in it and it gets condensation in it also... and i wanna fix it... i attempted it today, but with no avail... i pulled off all the nuts etc on the back (found inside the boot)... but the bitch didnt seem to wanna do anything ... have i missed something ?

I also managed to chip the cover trying to get it out (thought maybe it just popped off or something)... which has annoyed me..

its not THAT noticeable... but i know its there... and would like to get a replacement cover....

anyone know where i can get one from and how much it would cost please?

thanks for your help!

I'm interested in how to clean that out as well - sometimes mine gets moisture/condensation in the passenger side rear indicator

okay well dont forget that lil bit in the centre of the boot that says skyline on it...that has to come out as well, all the bolts are behind the rear trim, there is like 5 bolts that need to be undone

here is a pic to give you an idea

If all the nuts are off it could be that there is silicon or similar holding it firm.

If all else fails, Bunnings sell sledgehammers

i had the same problem, mine has a far bit of silicon holding mine in...

if its just condensation and not water dont bother hey

all r33s do it, my mates one does too

[MirKz]

nar... mine filled up with water today, its had condensation for a while, which i didnt mind, but it filled with water when i washed her today,..... NOT COOL!

i think mine might be the silicone holding it in... but i will pull off that centre bar too.. see if that helps..

thanks for ya help! will let u know how i go..

oh yeah centre bar loosen it dont take it all the way off

umm and yes there will definately be silicone

the coloured section is also removable and then you are left with the indicator and tail lights that you can mess around with and seal etc

dont be afraid to pull

or wedge, hehe

It's definitely silicon

Get your fingers under one end and lever with them.

Keep the pressure on and it will start to move eventually.

Once it's say 20mm away from the panel start at the other end.

I always thought condensation was water

cheers riaz & R34... will play with her today probably.i think i know where the water is getting in (the black strip that goes around the coloured area of the taillights has a section that has been pushed in or something...i presume its coming from there.)

[MirKz]

okay, well... i pulled it apart like i did yesterday... but also pulled that center panel off...

that came off nice an easy (YAY!) ... the tail light configuration itself was alot of effort, had to lever it from the inside with a screw driver because there was so much silicone on it!!!

anyways, came off in the end... couldnt actually get the clear plastic bit off away from the rest of it (i attempted it for ages and ended up breaking a clip in the process... GODDAMNIT!) still all good but... slapped even MORE silicone on certain areas that were dry and had none on there... so hopefully given some time to dry it will be fine!

I also managed to bust one of the screws coming from the back of the taillight configuration... and it HAD to be the one that had the mounting bracket for the carpet lining to clip into... DIDNT IT!

i hate screws... drive me crazy!!! im always busting the bloody things.... im viscious! (or however u spell it)

anyways... BIG THANKYOU! to everyone who shared their advice with me... i really appreciate it!.. hopefully now... crisis is over!

I thought that kind of shit only happened to me

[MirKz]

ahah nope buddy, im in the same boat

i guess thats half the reason i think i couldnt handle doing a mechanic apprenticeship after doing the pre-app course at tafe, i bust screws an all sorts too easy... LOL
