actually, there was a discussion about this in anotehr thread...

i know qld u can have neons, provided the bulb isnt showing, and you dont have emergency colors.. eg, red, blue, white, yellow..

best check up on vic.. u can normally find a pdf act on vehicle mods, and there should be a small section on " lighting "

not too sure on the installation though, sorry =(

Hi bluer33,

I regards to Neon lights (additional vehicle lighting) in Victoria, the following points may be useful to you. I have used these guidelines for the last few years on many cars and have had no major difficulties.

1 - Additional lighting must not impede access to the vehicle

2 - Additional lighting must not interfere with or impede safety features

3 - Modifications for additional lighting mounting points must not protrude from the body ( see vic modification guide)

4 - Additional lighting must have a seperate on/off function and cannot be directly linked to an existing vehicle system ( doors, lights etc)

5 - forward facing lights must not be red

6 - rearward facing lights nust not be clear

7 - red or blue light is permitted as long as they are not on the vehicle at once

(ie cannot have blue neon at rear - brake lights are red)

8 - lights must be of one color and cannot flash, rotate or turn

9 - instalation must include, on/off switch, fusing

For any additonal lighting for the vehicles interior, it must

- have an on/off switch and not rely on an existing car circuit

- be mounted in such a way that the source of light cannot be seen ( only the glow can be seen)

- be mounted in such a way that vehicle access or safety devices remain effective

- not be mounted within 300mm of the drivers or any passengers head in a normal driving position

In summary.

Green or purple are the safest colors, however no matter what you put on your car external neon wise, they really act as a magnet for the wrong type ( boys in blue) attention.

If you are prepared for this, perhaps you could consider LEDS over neons.

The advantages will be

- generally smaller lights to install

- brighter than neons

- last longer than neons

- LED's are more likely to be clean (electrically) and not give you that annoy pop through your stereo every time they turn off/on

- LED's use less power

Many retailers are now getting out of Neon with LED taking over, of all the retailers i have visited lately, an unlikely one has the best range and prices - Repco.

Please note this information is given in good faith, fitment of any products should always be done by a qualified person.

Hope this information helps.

Hmm, has been a while since i did it, so the colours may be wrong, umm i got a multimeter, put one on a bolt on thecar, and then played with each wire and pressed the door switch, when the wire grounds then that is the wire that does the door switch i think...

will be two wires in the drivers door. thin red is the one you are after. drop the switch out and look at it from there. the wire runs up the front pillar on the drivers side.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
