Wiring Parkers To Switch

Hey guys,

I want red parkers, now while adding different coloured parkers to your car is legal and abides by ADR rules adding Red or blue or white (white at back only) (red at front only) is illegal.

So I wanted to wire up a switch to my parkers to switch them on and off on demand to prevent legalities - yes I know not having them on is illegal but seriously will anyone notice? no not really. R34s have tiny faded ones anyway.

So would I just go about it hooking up a switch to the cabin and wire a link into the red wire that runs to the parkers? could I do this off the stick/blinker switch?

If anyone could help let me know

if your replacing the standard parkers with these red bulb ones you'll get defeceted straight away, you can interrupt the circuit that comes from the light to the switch on the stalk but if it comes down to it its unroadworthy...

find the wire which switches the parkers on from the stalk, connect your switch inline with the circuit... basically your interrupting the circuit.. its easy to do a little harder to explain lol

Might drill a second hole in the headlight and run a 3rd line to the headlight and have stock, red and off..

Just an idea .. but yeah suppose its not the smartest concidering that it costs $600 or so a set for R34 lights.

And I dont plan to drive around with Red parkers on .. thats stupid .. just for fun :(

finding the correct wire in or near the stick will be the hard bit... you could always trace it back from the parker... or interrupt the line at the parkers...

either way, switches are fun :( its going to be a bitch to find, but once you do, should be easy :(

hard? lol i think its harder running the wires from the engine bay rather than getting it from the stalk.. or under the dash.. but regardless i just realised it wont work.. the only way to do it is running to the engine bay and interrupting the circuit in the engine bay at the actual head lights...

otherwise if you interrupt the parker circuit in the cabin i dont think anything else that runs off parkers will work when you turn the switch off..

but hard... no... either way its very easy to do if you know what your doing... and drilling holes in the lights aint the best of ideas either lol

Most likely they'd let me off for the out parkers .. just fix em mate.. oh sorri officer i didnt know they had been out..

If i turned them on when driving they'd fry me .. its stupid and I dont want to imitate a emergency vehicle .. just ghey

Im doing it :P I rekon I can do it from the stalk as its dual stage for parkers and low beams .. so should be able to tap it at the stalk .. I know its possiable on the silvia series .. jap spec has it stock :D

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
