hey denny, i managed to change my drivers side parker without removing anything. i just jammed my hand into the small space you have to work with (hand got a little bit grazed) and fiddled around until i could undo the plug. my hands are fairly big so you should be able to manage it mate :rofl:

hehe good idea mooks, i'll get the missus to do it. thanks for info guys. the passenger side is easy, theres plenty of room where the pod is. but the drivers side is very tight, got the coolant and all the other crap there.

will try use tweezers or something.

cheers

I had the opposite problem. My drivers side headlight blew so i thought I'd change em both. The drivers side was a piece of piss but on the passengers side I had to remove both of the pods. It was a c*** of a job. Mainly because I'm all thumbs when it comes to fiddly things.

ok guys, i've taken another look, i still can not even get close to fitting a hand there. also we're talking about the "PARKER" light, as in the little one. not the headlight, the headlight is simple. i've uploaded some pics, unless my car is different i don't see how u can fit ur hand there.

cheers

** damn, can't upload pics again. **

denny ya mofo.....the drivers side is the easiest one of the two to get out ya fool. all u do is stick ur fingers in the HOLE PROVIDED and quarter turn to the left. lefty loosy righty tighty:D:D if u still cant do it and dont mind drivin down to springy ill do it for ya. oh and tweesers wont work either.

you dont need to take the headlight out....thats just overkill:D:D

unbelievable, my whole drivers side lights are all gone. its not the globes either coz i replaced the headlight and it still doesn't turn on. the parker light, headlight, high beam is all out on my car. can't be a fuse else both sides would be out. plus i fiddled around with the fuses too and it didn't make any difference. now has anyone got any ideas as to which wire maybe loose or something? where its located?

thanks.

  • 2 weeks later...

ok fella's, all front lights are now working again :D except for the parker one which has a blown globe. headlamp and highbeam is back, if this ever happens to anyone else, try changing the fuse located in the boot. its a 20A fuse.

forgot about the fuses at the back, i played around with all the ones at the front and it didn't help.

cheers

Well I attempted this mission on the weekend, as well as radiator flush and coolant change, front strut brace innergaurd removal on drivers side due to being broken and flapping around...

Now the hardest part of the whole damn thing was the grill removal that took 20 minutes for me to work out how the fudge to remove it WITHOUT breaking it...

As I was cleaning the overflow tank for the radiator which required the removal of the washer reserviour and the movement of the power box thing out the way I decided to remove the headlight as well, piece of cake...no need for a jack either to remove innergaurd, now I can confirm that you can take apart most nissans with a 10mm spanner and socket, and a couple of screwdrivers...

Also I checked the bulb holder had a pile of crap around it and would not turn easily despite my vain attempts while still installed.

So now all nice clean coolant and a parker bulb that works!!!

    • I might have to say it.
    • Ahh... it's an early RE5R01A box, that means the pinouts I gave are wrong (they were for the RE4R01A 4-speed box)... I'll have to dig around in my docs to see if I've got that schematic (they used the same gearbox plug, with the vacant pin wired to the direct drive clutch solenoid)...prolly hidden away in a supplement somewhere... ...there were 3 variants of the RE5R01A ~ this early schema was what we called the 'dumb' 5 speed ; it's what jatco called a 'medium duty' box, with torque holding up roughly ~200ft/lbs or so, which was good for NA from RB20/25DE and up to around VG30 output spec. With the RB25DET (and VG33/35 mills), the only options they had was the 4-speed 4AX00 box, which had been beefed up to handle the extra torque (primarily for the VG35, but it also suited the RB25DET mill and others)...and the RE4R03 box in large 4WDs a lot of the time... ...the next variant of 5-speed was redesigned, stronger, and 'smart'...first ones had external TCU with internal (on valvebody) Shift Control Unit, pressure switches, and 2 x TSS...and the last ones had internal TCU+SCU setup, with CANbus control etc etc. @DRoc81 On the RHS of the box towards the rear, there should be a stamped silver ID tag -- what's the model number? Oh...and with the early 5-speeds, the torque converter control solenoid assembly should be replaced as well (31940-60X00)...it's a bit Murphy's Law ....if one has failed, bet on the rest not being far behind ...
    • I remembered wrong, but was close though 1Kz setting because those Jaycar SSRs don't go any faster, 1x pump per SSR with flyback diodes & heatsinks. In saying that, the heatsinks are overkill. Just on an alloy plate is more than sufficient. You'll find without a flyback diode, your SSRs will heat up big time and also die prematurely.  I've been running the two same SSRs since the last motor, no issues, car does 2 hour straight drives in summer once in a while and gets punished on the track. Nothing melts, no hot messes, etc.    
    • Hmm. You're probably best off working out what the lobe centreline or even the LSA is for the stock cams, with VCT OFF. That's bound to be out there somewhere. Then, work on the assumption that the Kelford centreline is probably the same, and wouldn't be more than a couple of degrees away, if it is different at all. I'm very surprised that you needed to adjust the exhaust cam by 5° to get it on spec. That screams there's another problem somewhere. Anything from the belt being 1 tooth off (how many degrees is one tooth worth?) to simple user/measurement error on the degree wheel. I say this because Kelford, like most quality cam manufacturers these days, does a pretty good job of actually making the cams to spec, not relying on patching it up afterwards like we had to do back in the 80s.
    • Besides packing it, you can also fill your pump through the oil filter inlet port. After cranking for what felt like an eternity without pressure, i fed a tube in through there and filled it with oil. Cranked for a few seconds after that and had pressure.
