Did you goto school mate? You seem to struggle using a keyboard for some reason.

Neons are

1. pretty gay

2. A final ( final cosmetic mod) that you CAN do to add 5 stars of wank to your machine. I'm pretty sure i'd only add some if I did have some crazy yellow, pink or green paint job.. but your call.

Get the cheaper ones.. they all do the same shit, light up gas inside a tube .. you just wire it directly to the battery

Maybe spend the money on some engine mod's first and once you have owend your line for a bit you will see what a dick you would have been with neons on your car.

thats my 2 cents

But the end of the day it's your car

I love how everyone finds the time in less then 3 hours to be a dick... why not be a man and find a thread that you might be able to solve?

I have neons on my car... MY car, its not yours, i dont have to do what you say...

that being said, i never use them anyway... maybe once or twice when parked in a crowd... installation is easy as, and the LED ones dont break as easily, they allow a bit of flex... and one small crack in the tube doesn't mean you have to throw them away... getting an even spray of light on the ground is hard though...

Why is it every week we have someone asking about neons to put on their skyline :)

Your car buddy, do what u want, but i suggest doing a search on stuff like this first because A: Its been covered a million times and B: You will get smart ass responses because 90% of ppl on here think they are a gay thing to do under your car.

But to help in your question, yes its relitevely easy to wire them up as long as you know what your basically doing, cause you really dont want an electrical fire in your car.

www.varad.com or the aussie distributor i think is

www.darav.com.au

I have these one. Have had the for long time and had no problems. I have the colour change ones.

With the sqaure tube design of these they are less prone to damage.

Need any more info on them, PM me ;)

Cheers

I have got a couple of those 30cm slimline Cold Cathode tubes off ebay in the "computer section". They are easy to wire up and give off good light. By the way i only got them to light up the area where ur feet go to help ya see where ya feet go at night when ya open the doors.

Also i replaced the boot light with a brighter Cold Cathode tube also. Makes it a hell of a lot easyier to see what ur doing in there. Specially when ya have to play with amp settings etc at night.

I think that they can be usefull. I intend on getting some more to put under the bonnet so that if ya have the hood up at night workin on the car you can see what the hell is going on.

Good when used in a practical sense.

My 2 C

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
