Where to get Skyline Serviced


Recommended Posts

I need my lights sorted.

I'm possibly looking at converting them over to Xenon's (strike that, i want them done, but i want it done properly) but for the moment i just need the lenses' cleaned up. Driver's side has that "someone washed the inside this one time" look about it.

Any ideas where to head?

FMIC install coming up - can anyone recommend a place and tell me roughly what ball park figure I should expect? So far 1 place in phillip quoted me $600. Does that sound right?

Depends on the type of kit. On most you do actually have to cut a whole. I think the Trust and ARC ones you don't though... either way it is still an easy job.

yeh man, do it yourself, you dont even need to cut a hole for the piping on skylines.

I did with mine, though mine's an R32. Had to cut a hole in the vertical surface beneath where the battery sits. Went out and bought a 4" hole saw to do it too if you need to borrow it, though the auger's screwed.

A mate tried and failed to install it on the weekend, cut a hole and whatnot but couldn't get the piping to meet up properly, which was why I was thinking i'd probably need to get a place to do it for me :P It's all just looking kind of shithouse atm... If he couldn't do it I certainly can't do it on my own.

    • Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.
    • From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)
    • In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird
    • Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
    • So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
