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 :-)

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
