Maybe a newbie question but a search didn't turn up anything useful:

How do you change the oarking light globe? I had a dig around and it looks as though I either have to pull off the whole front bar or pull out the plastic guard liner just to get at the globe holder? Is there an easier way?

short answer. No. :D

I did it through the wheel arch and removed the liners.

I think you could also do it by removing the airbox on the passanger side and the removing the washer bottle on the drivers.

Oh, and make sure your hands are flexible..... Good luck

Cheers

i did a whole HID conversion without removing the front bar or wheel liners :D

yes i have flexible hands. and i remove the airbox/afm and moved the overflow bottle

seriously?! I don't even have the airbox and i reckon i'd struggle toget my fingers in there.

Just pop out those plastic fasteners towards the front of the wheel arch and unscrew the screw that is at about 9-10 o'clock (if looking at the wheel arch as a clock face).

Pull the arch liner away enough to get your hand in there.

Feel around for the parker connector (helps to look for it first to get a general idea), turn anti-clockwise and pull out.

Chuck in your LED with wedge connection (T10?), do everything up.

Should take ~10mins all up.

wish i had seen this post earlier today! I f@*#ed around for 1/2 hour this arvo, pulled the plastic fastener out, spent fruitless minutes trying to feel/get to the parker, failed.

pulled the bolt off the headlight assembly, couldn't remove it, tried to get my hand in, failed.

went back to liner, turned wheel full lock to get it out of the way, thought I could feel the light (hadn't removed said screw cause didn't know it F@*$ing existed), turned, failed.

Gave up, went inside to have a drink! :ninja:

Well that was fun... not.....

LED lights now installed and looking closer in colour to the HID headlamps... Took about 30 minutes to do both, but have removed skin on both hands...

but if the bulbs blow, they ain't coming out...

This is not a job for 6'4" people with large hands...

I found the easiest way to the back of the light unit is to use an hacksaw blade and cut away the f/glass moulding which blocks you getting your hand down to the lights. It doesn,t destoy the structural integretity of the moulding and certainly stops a lot of swearing, just saw between the excisting holes and clean up the edges with a file, makes life oh so easy.

enough time has passed so I might try again. I'll happily take a hacksaw to the b%$*dard.

Are you sure you don't want to leave it for another 7 months? :P

No real need for hacksaws mate (a bit dramatic IMO :down: )

It helps to look in fro the top but to reach in from the side (if your arms are long enough)

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).

      EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
