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

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
