I wrote this up to hopefully stop the innundation of many threads asking the same question. What bulb for what car? (sticky maybe?)

I don't have all the information, so if you have some information on the other types of cars, please PM me with the information and I will add it :rofl: (31, 32, 34 and V35 Skylines)

---R33 Skyline---

All 4 headlights are H1, the reflectors in the headlight spread the light differently between high and low beam

The driving/fog lights are H3

The parker lights are regular wedge type parker lights, sometimes known as E1.

The brake lights are regular bulbs (type 1157) with the two prongs on the bottom.

The blinkers and reverse lights are regular bulbs (type 1156) with one prong on the bottom.

You have to turn them 90 degrees...

To get the drivers side one out, I suggest you take out the washer bottle and undo then move the fuse box back...

It's still pretty crap though, but it males it a whole lot easier...

To remove the parkers on the drivers you need to remove the washer bottles and the fuse box cover, that should give you just enough room. They need a 45deg turn and then they pull out, but they are tough little fûckers... Try the passenger side ones first to see how they come out...

T5 for parker? I always thought it was T10?

I thought it was T5 because I pulled out my T5s from the dash and put it in the parkers.. that's what i'm running in there at the moment, same lights as my dash ones. Perhaps they're socket compatible?

There should be a little thing on the indicator stalk that you twist to turn them on...

Legally, I am pretty sure they are supposed to be on a seperate circuit, and even more legally, you can only use them in foggy conditions... not doing so will result in a fine...

HOWEVER, I do remember hearing about people not having bulbs in there at all... like, not even the holder or the wiring, just the glass basically... kinda odd :D

I got a set of strobe lights in my foggies hehe

I dunno about R34s but the R33 parkers, rear number plate lights and dash dial lights are all T10s

Also foggies are T10 and the front indicators are interchangeable with T10s as well.

You could wire them up to the regular lights, but this would take a lot of work, and again, you would proably get in trouble for it...

The best idea is to just make your own switch for them... though you have to remember that if you get a different front bar, or a large front mount intercooler, all this time will be wasted anyway...

A very useful write up... thanks mate... yeah, I think sticky this one.

I have it bookmarked for now, hopefully when I do the other types of skylines, it will get stickied :P

Thanks mate.... very very helpful

Thanks :P

Can't wait to steal some time with mates cars to check the other types though :(

      Dose's Sometimes DIY and Pay Someone Home & Boat Improvement Thread

      Hey, it's me! Though honestly, if I had 20M in my bank account tomorrow, I would not want to be rid of my car all of the sudden - Which makes me think this is money stuff, not "I actually hate car" stuff. I'd probably double down and buy even more trinkets and fun things for it. If this is not you, then sell it cheaper. It will sell at a certain price after all.

      Of course it would be - But you shouldn't be here.

      This is the LCA mount reloctaion kit. Self explanatory in its description. https://au.gktech.com/products/s13-180sx-r32-subframe-anti-squat-reduction-weld-in-kit?_pos=62&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c These are the alloy subframe bush inserts that I am using. I like them. https://au.gktech.com/products/rear-subframe-slip-in-collars?_pos=29&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c Alternatively, if you have original and shitty bushes, you might consider outright replacement with poly. https://au.gktech.com/products/polyurethane-rear-subframe-bushes?_pos=28&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c I would also higly recommend that you look into adjustable RUCAs and tension rods, so you can sort out the camber and bump steer behaviour, especially if the car will be any more than ~15mm lower than stock. I would also highly recommend the GKTech FUCAs, although you really should do some research and learning on the subjetc of R32 FUCAs before making any decisions. All of this will be criticaly difficult to get through a TÜV inspection too, if that happens to be relevant to you. Note that if you do install the relocation kit, you will absolutely have to replace the associated bushes with spherical joints (you can read all about that on the product page) or upgrade the LCAs also.

      I picked up my block and head last week and have been slowly assembling it since then. Pictures I took earlier this week. The rest of the auxiliaries are on now. I just have my intake manifold runners to tap for my WMI direct port setup before putting it back on. I should hopefully have the motor back in by this weekend.
