Hi Guys,

I need to change the front parklight bulb in my 4 door R34 GTT. I just can't find an easy access to remove the bulb. Do I have to unscrew the whole headlight unit to get to it?

Anyone's found an easier way?

How hard have you been looking?

Open bonnet.

Look behind light assembly for a hole in the rubber flaps.

Stick you hand in there and turn the bulb holder anti-clockwise.

Pull it out.

Small hands are best.

Unfortunately it isn't as simple as getting in the rubber flaps and twisting the bulb out. It isn't the head light I am talking about. It's the parklight. It's the one right on the outside and there are no rubber flaps covering it. It looks inaccesible.

I'll see if I can get some pictures of it tomorrow.

Hi i had to do this yesterday....If you stick your hand right in there you will get it out....It is a little tricky to get it back in though but it can be done..I almost pulled the headlight out but i did manage to do it....

Good luck....That is the least of my problems i have had in the last little while...

Hey, I never said it was easy. :P:D

Its easy if you have small hands like me :) show us ur hands! :P

Basically as abo bob said..its twist and turn, pull out, replace bulb, then put back in and twist and turn again..5 min job if tht...Didn't have to move nothing...

Well I've done the near impossible. Changed the bulb. I cannot believe it was as simple as twisting the rear end parklight and pulling it out. Here I was trying first to unplug the connecting wires, by pulling it straight back. Stupid me!

My old corolla was a lot more intuitive I must say.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
