hey indicators are the easiest ever all you have to do is pull them back and they clip out. have a look at the ones you are putting in i am pretty sure you pull them to the rear. by pull i dont mean out towards you but slide rather to the rear of the car it comresses the clip holding them in and they just pull out towards you once you have them back far enough

good luck

:| mine are stuck solid to the guard. I bought nismo clear ones and they seem to just have a round circle... I just tried for 10mins on what you said, sliding them towards the rear and nothing happened lol, they are stuck like superglue :P

there is a screwed on clip that clamps the light to the guard, im pretty sure you can get to them with a stubby screw driver after taking your wheel off - also the plastic inner guard.

Just be very very careful when you do it. Even if you don't want to keep the originals you can always sell them.

But yeah, they should should slide back just a fraction, enough to get a flat head under there to undo the clip.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
