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...!

Mate,

Fair enough - question though; would you drive with them on? :nyaanyaa:

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.

      I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.

      Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
