Hi guys,

Tonight I noticed that my rear inner parker lights seem to be half out / half lit . I am not too sure if the inner lights have ever made a full circle like others I have seen on the net.

I just thought I'd ask to see what everyone here thinks whether both my globes are out or the tail lights are shot before I pull off the boot lining to get to the lights.

Thanks!

As above take out and inspect.

There is 2 small wedge globes on the inner light and one large wedge globe on the outer.

Quite often you will find they have wiggled loose

Remove liner

There is four nuts that need removing. then just push out using the bolts.

If you can - push the contacts closer together before pushing the globes back in.

Thanks Sinista32! I've been flat out all week and only just had time to have a look! If I knew there were two bulbs for the inner light I wouldn't have bothered posting this up!

It was a nice simple fix.. Just replaced the two outer bulbs. I still find it quite extraordinary that one bulb does one semi circle and the other makes the other semi circle making up the full circle for the inner lights!

Cheers Pete

    • Foreign debris, physical shock, boost leak, could be anything honestly. The danger in taking all the timing out of a tune/hitting the R&R corner is that even if the engine doesn't detonate your turbo is taking a lot of abuse from high EGT. Also, even if nothing goes wrong it is a journal bearing that is spinning at 100k RPM on boost. Eventually it goes through enough cold start/pressure cycles to wear it out.
    • I kinda accidentally saw this, and was interested, but It actually seems to replaces the whole center computer, using the existing screen and buttons. AND it may only be for a G37 and not compatible with a Japanese 370. So its not for me, but someone else may be interested to look into it. Its about $680USD. If I am understanding it right, it basically replaces/installs and android pc that integrates with the existing screen. But I could be wrong. https://gromaudio.com/vline/ The video I first saw was the following, with very little and unclear details.     Even if your not interested in the system, the video on their site was pretty comforting in showing how simple the whole centre comes out
    • hfygrte52 what side you looking for? Do you care what color car it's off? Found a white LH side on here: https://skylinespares.com.au/product/nissan-skyline-r33-coupe-rear-tail-light/   Aussie parts place but will ship to USA. Maybe get it before there's a tarrif on 25yo shit box parts
    • I’m with Shannon’s for all 5 of our cars. Agreed values seem fair, premium price is okay. ($210 ish a month, all comprehensive).  Have claimed once with them for a not at fault claim with another car where my car had no damage. Was one call after the incident and an email after. Deemed not at fault so premium didn’t go up either.    I have called up and spoken with people who are not familiar with certain cars and didn’t agree with me on value or let their personal vehicle preferences effect the call. But called back later and got someone else who was more agreeable.  
    • It is an absolute lottery. They can and have died at stock boost with low usage at all. The turbos are now anywhere up to 36 years old!
