Hi everyone,

hope you can help me - needs help on how to remove the organge side indicators and replace them with the nismo clear white ones on the sides?

I recently bought some nismo ones and want to remove my existing ones - but finding it too hard... usually, i.e. with Honda's, just get a flat-head screwdriver and yank it out then connect new bulb and put the clear housing in... but upon trying to do this to my Skyline, it started chipping (crackiing a bit) so I stopped as I do not want to damage it further.

Some help and/or pics would be much much apprecaited.

Hope everyone had a nice new year!

Many thanks in advance.

Flat soft edge to avoid damaging paint, lift back edge and slide backwards , up and out.

So you're saying, don't go in on the sides.... so, say, put in the flathead screwdriver and then jerk it up and down until it comes out? some pics would be good... thanks

A few of my friends have the same issue, so if you can help, this would be useufl information for most people on here.

No...put a rubber tipped flat edge at the back, lift gently andslide the whole thing backwards and lift a little and it should come straight out...no force needed

call me slow, but I do not understand...when you say, the back ... where's the back?

If it's ok, do you mind, taking a picture of how it looks when just yanked out? then I can picture for myself how to do it.

Step by step information would be very appreciated.

Thanks

I remember doing this with just my fingers on my car.

Grabbed from the left side of the indicator in the above pics, pulled the indicator right, and then out towards me.

I was also a little disturbed at how easy they came out, meaning someone could just nick them if they knew.

Hope that helps.

If you press your hand onto the indicator's and push left and right, you will notice the indicator actually moves slightly in one direction.

What i did was just push them in that direction with my hand, then on the other end i gently leavered it out with a flathead screwdriver, popped right out.

Then they just clip right back in.

Yup no need for any screw drivers at all. .

use your fingers and push it forward (i think)

and then just pull it out..

its really simple.. If it doesnt seem like its coming out, then you doing it wrong..

But i did this ages ago..

hi my friends....

Thanks so much for your help...

I just tried it... it does slide a bit to the right, but I can't seem to put it outwards towards me on the side... was wondering if someone would be nice enough to send slightly larger pics with step by step instructions...

Thanks kindly...

honestly, just grab a flathead, jamb it in one of the sides and pry it out. It's only held in by clips(which are strong), it will pop off. Don't be afraid to use a bit of force

It really is very easy

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
