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 :-)

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
