in 2 weeks is uni holidays for me :D and i have decided that i want to install red or blue neon lights under my car, however, i want to install it so the lights are wired up with the interior light.

this way when i get in and out of the car the lights will come on :) and they wont be on when im driving :( (im sure its illegal)

has anyone wired up neons like this before? does anyone know how to wire them up? would you be so kind as to explain to me how i might go about doing it? :)

also i might try and wire it so i can turn them on or off with an overide switch so they don't go on during the day, or so i can leave them on if i want :)

anyway any suggestions would be much appreciated :) thanks!

Ok, I would use a relay and put it near the lights, then run a power source from your interior light to the relay, in this line is where I would probably put a switch, saves you trying to run another line back into the cabin to switch the -ve side. Just earth the relay to somewhere good in the engine bay, and take the source from somewhere like the starter motor :D

my friend has done it to his car ... its ricey but hey ... looks pretty sweet ... just don't do it like the commodores u see where they don't stick the neon right under the car but near the bottom so that u can see the actually neon light ... i think it looks best when u only see the neon light reflection of the gound ... :) show us some pics when u have it done :D

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
