Hi guys I need some help in how to remove the rear tail light on a R33 skyline, I undid all the bolts ( I think) and I was trying to remove the plastic facere on the front but cant remove it.

As I have undid all the bolts the rear light should just full out right???

or do I have to remove the rear bumperand there might be some bolt under there to remove the taillight.

all this to drain out some water.........:(

HELP

had same prob... the assembly is sealed on with that black sealant. just need to use constant pressure, and lots of it, dont bang it. drain the water, remove the old sealant and replace it with fresh stuff. dont use stuff like "no more gaps" or "all clear" or any of those products coz you might want to get the lights out another day :P use a proper removable automotive sealant for the job. hope that helps.

dudes....

this is what i heard.

*i will not be held responsible on how u mess up or how this messes yr car up if u give it a go*

sometimes not only does the light fill with water, it also condenses.

one way is to get yr drill.. get the smallest one and drill a tiny hole at the bottom of the light.

water drains out and no more misting up or any fogging of any kind

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
