Ok, so we're talking about Neons - are we not? OK, if that's the case, I'll have to intervene... Neons are gay big time - RICE - all show bull shit... however, if you have neons inside the car just to light up under the dash then that's creative in some ways (personally don't like them at all) - however, under the car is a no no IMO... you can't turn them on whilst driving or the cops will dick you big time as they're illegal for street use - and just to light them up whilst stationary at Macca's for example is a waste of cash... 1 more thing - put them too ligh and they will be exposed which is gay big time and going over humps they may even break... don't know about you guys, but for me - undercar neons are just a no no...!

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.

^^^ ahahahahahhahah

what about if you put it on top? blue and red ones? they look nice together, i'm sure the cops will appreciate the color, it's like "police represent"....

^^^ Biggest LOL ever!!! Sound like Ali G

IMO - neons is not worth it - but each to their own. If you are putting them for under the car lighting, be prepared to have them stolen. Thats why its best to go for cheap ones if possible. Isnt driving with neons on illegal too?

the only thing i dislike about under car neons is the light spread...it would be good if they could shoot all the way across the front and all the way down the side.

Are the multicolour ones on eBay any good (LED)? What parts a good neon from a shit one? same electrics; LED aren't common to blowing.

And about the neons being gay...waste of money? Can't use them while driving; Why put all this money into making the engine faster and making the exhaust louder, cuz at the end of the day your only aloud to do the speed limit and only aloud to have a car so loud. 4 Gees on doing an engine up to do 110 max on the street or 300 bucks to turn heads, i know which way I'd go.

But yeah you can take the car to a strip and flog the guts out of your car, it's legal, well I'm sure you can turn your lights on down the strip.

i was told it is legal to have them on while driving but your not allowed to see the actual neon tube. Also i was told cops will more likely have a go at you if you have red or blue at the front of the car (because of the emergency lights) and it can confuse other people, but other colours are fine from what i hear

I think your not allowd to have emergency colours

Blue - Police

Red - Police, fire, ambo

White - Ambos, Fire

Purple - Department of Transport

But if you wanted to could use underbodys as normal lights; Red at the back when u brake, flashing amber on side for indicator, and white at the front

something tells me that you would not be allowed to use the regular colours as under body neons...

and as for driving with neons on, that is ONLY interiors, and only if the bulb can not be seen from outside the car... providing it hasn't been changed lately...

Agree 100% too...

Motor wise my car is totally stock, and dad has trouble keeping up with me in his work car... ...BTW... ...Dad's work car has lots of pretty blue and white stickers and lots of flashing lights... ...and most people will stop for him when he puts in behind them...

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.

This is all I was thinking of doing. Just the black lights.. nothing stupid, just enough light to light the foot wells up. Cant see anything wrong with doing that.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
