This is most likely a noob question but i was wondering how i would go about removing the little coin compartment near the right knee.
Mine has got abit loose and would like to know how to take it apart so i can figure out how i can fix it without destroying it.
Here is a picture of the compartment i was referring too.
Thanks.

Wonder if there's some smaller bulb you can get, maybe an LED one or something
I just bought the flat T10 led, that didn't work.. guess I'm paying a visit to the wreckers for a set of side indicator socket. Thanks for your help though.

Yeah I bought the indicators brand new, it came with the bulb too.
I believe the previous owner might have used the wrong bulb holder, which is causing my issue.

Hmm according to Nismo that should be right part number for 1999.. otherwise you could try 26100-RNS51
Thanks Alex, your right. the 26100-RNS51 is after 8/2000. (http://www.nismo.co.jp/products/catalogue_2017/html5.html#page=297)
Im having issues fitting the 26100-RNC41 because the bulb is protruding out too much. Could this be due the the socket/bulb being the incorrect one ? Alternatively would the 26100-RNS51 be "deeper" so it would fit properly and not come in contact with the indicator?
TIA

i recently bought some smoked side indicator but i fear i bought the wrong one according to kudos.
The one i got is 26100 RNC41. I attempted to install it but realised the light bulb makes it too long and touches the indicator cover. Could it be that my socket/housing is the wrong one or did i purchase the wrong indicator cover.
mine is a 1999 i believe

Hey all,
I've been having issues with my window for a rather long time, it would go down but not smoothly and it sounded like I was damaging it (found a few scratches on the tiny). It's a hard life when you want to go cruising and you can't put your window down ahah. So I took my driver side door apart and I believe I may have found the issue. It was the plastic thing that moves along the metal guide horizontally so that the window would go up evenly was broken into two parts (sorry I didn't know what to call it)
I'm stuck as in unsure if I should attempt to maybe glue the two parts together and hope it would hold itself and not distrupt the movement of the window going up.
Or if someone can tell me where I could purchase another one of this or has another idea such as creating your own axis movement thing.
Any help would be idea as I rather not open my door every time I need to get a ticket out of the ticket booth or going through drive thrus haha

This might sound odd, but can you get some close up shots of how the re003's at 235/40 sit on your 9.5" rims?
From what I've seen they seem to be quite a wide fit and can't find any pics online. I'd imagine 235/40/18 would be priced reasonably also given the common size
Yeah that's the reason I wrapped it in 235\40 as it was cheaper option given Bridgestone was doing a promotion. Once these wear out I shall go proper sizing.

Update: all wheels fitted with re003 235\40
18 x 8.5 + 30 front
18 x 9.5 + 38 rear
Pleased with the front, the rear maybe too much tuck into the body. Considering reducing camber in rear so fitments looks better but it's not a big deal.
I've been told that the tire sizing 235\40 for 9.5 was acceptable and then others saying it's not ideal etc etc been really conflicting. Did a little research and most prefer not to fit 235\40 for 9.5 apart from this website and Bridgestone who said it should be acceptable. http://www.tyresizecalculator.com/tyre-wheel-calculators/wheel-rim-size-calculator
Is there anything I should be cautious about given it may be considered stretched even if it's abit?

I have a '98 R34 GT-T.
I had some Rota Grid 18x9.5 +35 and 18x10.5 +35 with 235/40 tires.
Fitment looked good but the fronts actually scrubbed on the inside suspension when turning too far. The 235's on the 10.5's were also a bit TOO stretched for my taste.
So today I just installed some Work Emotion 11R 18x9.5 +20's all around and kept the 235/40 tires. The fitment looks perfectly flush with the rear fenders but sticks out considerably on the front. VERY aggressive but it DOES fit with stock fenders and doesn't scrub. I like it. I don't intend to roll. I'm running stock GT-R shocks/struts.
Pics:
So I went to purchase my rims today but they ran out of 18 x 9.5 + 38 for the rear, but they had the 18 x 9.5 +20 instock.
I know the rear for the gtt has some room to play with, and was told the +38 was rather safe. Would i be able to run the +20 offset for the rear with 255/35 tires with no scrubing and not so much poke to get defected? Or should i go 235/40 tires?
Ultimately I want a safe but flush fitment. Yours look pretty ideal [emoji108].
Any thoughts /suggestions appreciated! -
Hey,
Looking for a HKS Silent Hi-power muffler or exhaust to suit a R34. Obviously preferably good condition.
Thanks habibi.

At my ride height (a little - maybe 5mm - below minimum legal) there's a small amount of scrubbing on the front, at full lock, when going up steep driveways, etc. It's pretty minor, and it hasn't really bothered me. When I had to get the car re-sprayed I did have them roll up the rear guard as a precaution (though it was entirely un-necessary). The front guards are untouched.
As I understand it in - at least in SA - you can go up to 26mm more wheel track legally. With this wheel offset, there should be around 20mm wider track on the front and 4mm on the rear. It's very much on the edge of pushing outside the guards, but I've had anal police officers look over it, and give it the go-ahead with no defects - but your mileage may vary. I'm not running any crazy-excessive camber (I think a little over 1 degree front/rear) - with the standard approach of Whiteline adjustable camber kits front and rear (there's also Whiteline castor kit, subframe bushes, adjustable sway bars, etc).
Anyway, I hope that helps with decision-making.
That was insight full, i guess I'm safe. A little scrub here and there wouldn't hurt and if i want to avoid scrubing etc i can simply raise it. Thanks good man!
Ps: looking mint [emoji108] -
As per one of my early posts in this thread, I'm running 18x8.5" +30 on the front & 18x9.5" +38 on the rear, with LMGT4 -- same specs as what you're looking at.
I run 255/35R18 on the rears, and it's a good fit. I looked into 265, but to my mind it's getting too far away from the factory rolling diameter, and would upset the speedo too much (though I believe it's still within legal limits, but it's been a few years since I checked the specs).
Good luck with your wheel choices [emoji4]
That's the reassurance i wanted to hear ahah. Do you scrub at all? And do you mind sending snaps of the fitment? -
Thanks, yeah if it's too wide i better not. Safer to go maybe 255 or 245? Who would've thought buying rims would be so complex ahah.

Hey guys, ive been lurking this post for a while trying to find similar measurements and it seems like my fitment would work but i thought i might as well run it past you guys just to double check before purchasing.
So the measurements are as follows
front 18x8.5 + 30 Tyres 235/40
Rear 18x9.5 + 38 Tyres 265/35I didnt want it to look too aggressive and poke so much. Just a flush snug look.
Any tips/help would be appreciated!

Haha not at all. I assume from your response it is suppose to come out easily similar to the ash tray?
In my instance it does not come out like that. Seems like something from behind it is attached.
