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!

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 :cheers:

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 :rant:

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!

:D

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!

    • Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛  
    • Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it  
    • Good tips, I like it! 😂😂 My wife is a LOT more frugal than me so it's only me we need to worry about! A splurge to her is buying 2 pairs of socks in one visit at Kmart!
    • Haha, the appropriate response to the question "Is this new?" is "I've had this for a while.". With the unspoken small print that a while may be the time since this morning or five years ago   And to be fair I learned that from the best, i.e. my wife. Because it goes both ways.
    • Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...
