Hi,

One of my parkers has died. I had a quick look to see how difficult it would be and it looks like a bitch of a job. There doesn't seem to be anything regarding how to change parkers on the forum...

Has anyone done this before? It's a S1 GTS-T. The side in question is the same side as the turbo...

yeah u can do it, but im constantly tinkering with them so i always find it easier to just unbolt the and fiddle here and there. like i had the indicators goin in the parker bulb case for a while, but it was fast flickering (small bulbs) and you couldnt see it, so i changed it back. ive got cut wires here and there hehe

Well, I changed it for the princely sum of $1.50... Undid the power cable and gave it a small twist with the needle nose pliers. Then it just unscrewed :-) Same thing in reverse to put it back. I don't think they'd ever been changed before 'cause there was that much crap and dust in there... It's amazing the things that never have been changed before... My spare tyre is the original japanese one (although it -should- have been replaced), and it's still got it's dye on the tread.. Never been used :-)

Ok, this might be a dumb question but how do you change the parker bulbs in that are in the actual headlights? (not the ones on the corners).

I tried twisting the grey plug under the main circular cap on the back of the headlight but it wouldn't move and I really don't want to get the pliers onto it unless I know that I'm twisting the right thing the right way!

Oh, and yes I know you can't pass a roadworthy with these parker bulbs in.

Ok, after sticking my head under the car today I managed to disconect the -'ve wire that was running to the extra parking lights in all 4 of my headlights.

Couldn't actually pull the bulbs out as the assembly for them (which is located on the bottom of the headlights) is a kinda rubber plug sealed with something that feels like silicon...so it may actually be a custom job.

Tomorrow morning I'll reconnect one side and post pics :-)

    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
