Hey all..

just wondering,

how the hell do u get the right tail lights and indicator setup on an R33 off ?

my right indicator cover (clear plasitc bit) is getting water in it and it gets condensation in it also... and i wanna fix it... i attempted it today, but with no avail... i pulled off all the nuts etc on the back (found inside the boot)... but the bitch didnt seem to wanna do anything ... have i missed something ?

I also managed to chip the cover trying to get it out (thought maybe it just popped off or something)... which has annoyed me..

its not THAT noticeable... but i know its there... and would like to get a replacement cover....

anyone know where i can get one from and how much it would cost please?

thanks for your help!

okay well dont forget that lil bit in the centre of the boot that says skyline on it...that has to come out as well, all the bolts are behind the rear trim, there is like 5 bolts that need to be undone

here is a pic to give you an idea

If all the nuts are off it could be that there is silicon or similar holding it firm.

If all else fails, Bunnings sell sledgehammers :cheers:

oh yeah centre bar loosen it dont take it all the way off

umm and yes there will definately be silicone

the coloured section is also removable and then you are left with the indicator and tail lights that you can mess around with and seal etc

dont be afraid to pull

or wedge, hehe

It's definitely silicon

Get your fingers under one end and lever with them.

Keep the pressure on and it will start to move eventually.

Once it's say 20mm away from the panel start at the other end.

I always thought condensation was water :rant:

okay, well... i pulled it apart like i did yesterday... but also pulled that center panel off...

that came off nice an easy (YAY!) ... the tail light configuration itself was alot of effort, had to lever it from the inside with a screw driver because there was so much silicone on it!!!

anyways, came off in the end... couldnt actually get the clear plastic bit off away from the rest of it (i attempted it for ages and ended up breaking a clip in the process... GODDAMNIT!) still all good but... slapped even MORE silicone on certain areas that were dry and had none on there... so hopefully given some time to dry it will be fine!

I also managed to bust one of the screws coming from the back of the taillight configuration... and it HAD to be the one that had the mounting bracket for the carpet lining to clip into... DIDNT IT!

:D

i hate screws... drive me crazy!!! im always busting the bloody things.... im viscious! (or however u spell it)

anyways... BIG THANKYOU! to everyone who shared their advice with me... i really appreciate it!.. hopefully now... crisis is over!

      What accelerator cable can be used with greddy plenum

      By Duncan · Posted

      I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
