Hey guys,

I want red parkers, now while adding different coloured parkers to your car is legal and abides by ADR rules adding Red or blue or white (white at back only) (red at front only) is illegal.

So I wanted to wire up a switch to my parkers to switch them on and off on demand to prevent legalities - yes I know not having them on is illegal but seriously will anyone notice? no not really. R34s have tiny faded ones anyway.

So would I just go about it hooking up a switch to the cabin and wire a link into the red wire that runs to the parkers? could I do this off the stick/blinker switch?

If anyone could help let me know

if your replacing the standard parkers with these red bulb ones you'll get defeceted straight away, you can interrupt the circuit that comes from the light to the switch on the stalk but if it comes down to it its unroadworthy...

find the wire which switches the parkers on from the stalk, connect your switch inline with the circuit... basically your interrupting the circuit.. its easy to do a little harder to explain lol

Might drill a second hole in the headlight and run a 3rd line to the headlight and have stock, red and off..

Just an idea .. but yeah suppose its not the smartest concidering that it costs $600 or so a set for R34 lights.

And I dont plan to drive around with Red parkers on .. thats stupid .. just for fun :(

finding the correct wire in or near the stick will be the hard bit... you could always trace it back from the parker... or interrupt the line at the parkers...

either way, switches are fun :( its going to be a bitch to find, but once you do, should be easy :(

hard? lol i think its harder running the wires from the engine bay rather than getting it from the stalk.. or under the dash.. but regardless i just realised it wont work.. the only way to do it is running to the engine bay and interrupting the circuit in the engine bay at the actual head lights...

otherwise if you interrupt the parker circuit in the cabin i dont think anything else that runs off parkers will work when you turn the switch off..

but hard... no... either way its very easy to do if you know what your doing... and drilling holes in the lights aint the best of ideas either lol

yeah, theres no one switch the just does the parkers... it controls all the illum shit...

and yeah, i drive a 33, im often at thronleigh... i see so many skylines i dont know and get sad :(

come see me or ask around for me next time, i dont bite :P plus i think you and i have common interests :(

Most likely they'd let me off for the out parkers .. just fix em mate.. oh sorri officer i didnt know they had been out..

If i turned them on when driving they'd fry me .. its stupid and I dont want to imitate a emergency vehicle .. just ghey

Im doing it :P I rekon I can do it from the stalk as its dual stage for parkers and low beams .. so should be able to tap it at the stalk .. I know its possiable on the silvia series .. jap spec has it stock :D

    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.        
    • Sharing results from recent Liberty Walk R35 GTR, since they are still considered as somesort of a V36 Skyline. We do them turbos too. This are high flowed SS-1 models with ball bearing conversion done.  Car have managed to pull 485awkws @ 20Psi so far pushing limitations of factory built engine. The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
