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

yeah, as silverskyline said the centre skyline section is best removed! it has 4 nuts the can be removed from behind the boot latch, then it is push real hard (and even) to remove the light section which is held in with the black silicon (sikaflex) as used on windows. then only real way to get the water out would be to drain it out the clip for the indicator or reversing lights!!

be very hard to get the blinker section off, same issue with the front of the headights!!

then you'll have to clean up the light and body of the black silicon (takes a while) may need to get some from super cheap to replace this!! just make sure you dont get any on the body and light!!! will need thinners etc to clean this off, which is not good for your paint!!

good luck with it!!

nizmokid: dont hold me responsible should this not work or screw up yr lights in anyway...

just advice man and hv seen ppl do it work a treat too...

they took power drills...found the smallest f*ckin drill head on earth and just drilled a tiny little hole near the bottom. All water drained out, never had a flood inside again and never had the inside condense again..

yeah cause to get the face plate of the lights off you have to takwe the lights out as the screws are between the covewr and the body of the car!!

so yeah, remove the whole unit to remove that plate, but dont think it will get much easier to get the indicator plate off. good luck with it though

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
