I believe you simply wrap a flat head screw driver in some a rag and just press on the edge closest to the centre of the car, gently pushing outwards and it should just pop out, or it could be from the outside edge toward the centre of the car, one of the 2, give it a go ;)

Yeah, I had trouble undoing mine when I took the front bar off, since I wasn't changing the indicators, I just unplugged them from the back.

But I heard they need a bit of force to get them out

IMO best way is to reach in behind. You will feel the two steel clips that hold them in place. Simply squeeze, and push forward. I used a butterknife, but found this a bad way to do it, and resorted to my hands. No tools required

Once you get it down pat, you will be glad to know not everyone knows how simple it is... otherwise im sure the nismo clear ones I put in wouldnt have last long around down :P

yeah I was afraid of scratching. easy as shit way to get them out is as follows.

1. jack up the side of the indicator your taking out to make access easier if your cars lowered.

2.undo the plastic underpanel.

3. reach up behind the bar and unplug the indicators.

4. feel for the steel clips that hold the indicators in place.

5. squeeze them and push forward.

no paint scratches.

no frustration.

easiest way imo.

It took me 10 sec to do it this way. I just made sure that head of the screwdriver was pressed against the side of the indicator with my other hand and NOT levered against the bar at all. :banana:

I just stick my arm up one of the front vents (love the GTR bar) and squeeze the clips with my fingers.. Just remember to undo the globe or u feel like an idiot afterwards when it gets stuck as u pull it out haha

The front indicator lugs are at the sides (not top or bottom), and they can collect dirt. I'd spray some 'Tar 'n Bug' Remover to loosen any gunk around those lugs > try with the screwdriver again as above.

The driver's side indicator is removed with a screwdriver too. You stand next to the driver's door and use the flat head screwdriver at the edge of the indicator and push towards the front. It's springy and it'll pop out.

The passenger side indicator is removed by standing next to your front wheel. Use the screwdriver on the edge of the indicator and push it towards the rear.

Hope this helps...

No, you'll scratch the paint that way. You push against the hard plastic lens edge.

You wouldn't want to damage the rubber gasket seal lest you let water condensation get in later on.

righto, i'll give that a try later, why do they make it so difficult :) i got some smoked indicators off ebay, look pretty good, cant wait to get them in but the seller forgot to ship with the side indicator bulbs.. would you happen to know what size they are and roughly how much? (if theyre cheap i'll just get some locally)

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
