Ive found a whole bunch of threads about cleaning the outside and what not but I need to clean the inside, there is a fair bit of shit(due to them being sitting for so long with no bulbs/caps) inside and I wanna clean it up.

What works to get the light open? Wack it in the oven for 15mins on 100c? Anyone done this before, let me know!

dont go 100deg for 15 min...you may warp the plastic lens....try for 7-8mins and see if they get loose...if they do get a bit loose and need a bit more try for 2 or 3 more mins at a time. I know thats not the answer your after but I dont want you destroying your lights.

I believe the same method should work for the front lights too. f**king shit, I just polished up one of the lights and when sanding must have got some water in the back and now there is condensation building up. Hope that water was clean or Ill be ripping faces off if I see dried up marks.

With the condensation though, what I would do rather than pull the light apart is blow some air into it with the two light caps off at the back or chuck a hair dryer in the rear. Ill check it out tomorrow. its my other headlight which has a dead bug and other shit in it I need to clean up.

Condensation will only form if the light is not sealed, so if you are running HID's and you modded the back of your caps to suit, seal them up. That shit is f**king annoying.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
